On-The-Go Celebration Package 1: Php4,500

If we’re talking about ALEX III, we really can’t skip their classic CHICKEN BARBECUE (Php1,000 per tray) . This sweet, tangy recipe brings back memories of my childhood. It’s about time to share it with the next generation! The smoky, sweet flavor really seeps into the tender meat. It’s very different from American-style roasted chicken. a true Filipino classic.
LENGUA (Php1,700 per tray) is a dish I love but have a hard time making at home. Luckily, it’s so easy to order from ALEX III. Thick but tender slices of ox tongue are bathed in a rich, creamy mushroom gravy. I’m trying to avoid rice, but I can’t resist it if I have lengua on my plate.
The LAPU-LAPU FILLET with SWEET and SOUR SAUCE (Php1,500 per tray) is yet another party buffet constant. Remember this dish from the last wedding you went to? Like I said, ALEX III gives you all your “usual” handaan foods but they do it really well. They take what’s ordinary to a higher level. The sweet and sour dish was a big hit with my foodie friends. The breading was not too heavy and the fillets remained crispy despite being bathed in all the sticky citrus sauce.
FRESH LUMPIA UBUD (Php760 per tray: 12 pcs.) is another dish I love but don’t really have the patience to make myself. I love the thick, sweet sauce combined with the sharp flavor of minced raw garlic. Perfect for a merienda gathering!

On-The-Go Celebration Package 2: Php3,500
- Boneless Chicken Barbecue Strips
- Pinakbet sa Bagnet
- Pancit Canton OR Sotanghon Guisado
- 4 bottles of Pepsi (1.5L), disposable utensils, paper plates and napkins
I personally prefer BONELESS CHICKEN BARBECUE STRIPS (Php1,600 per tray) because they are easier to eat. Children can easily manage the strips of chicken thigh marinated in the same classic ALEX III barbecue flavor. When it comes to gatherings, the less supervision the kids need, the easier it is for the adults to enjoy.
The PINAKBET sa BAGNET (Php1,500 per tray) should really be called Bagnet with Pinakbet on the side. Each tray is topped with generous servings of the crispy, deep-fried Ilocos specialty. While the chicken barbecue will be a sure hit for the children, this is probably a more adult-friendly dish. The bitter melons (ampalaya) are definitely an acquired taste.
At first glance, I wasn’t able to recognize the PANCIT CANTON tray (Php1,050 per tray). The toppings were abundant and I wasn’t able to see the noodles right away. The pancit was very saucy and soft. Another one that the kids will surely enjoy. it’s very different from some versions of pancit canton which are oily and stir-fried. This one is swimming in a thick gravy that reminds me of my favorite lomi.
