Late-Night Thoughts at 3AM: Mang Inasal Chicken, Kitchen Paint Woes, and Comfort in Simple Meals

in Hive PH5 days ago

Hello Hive Fam! 💚 It’s almost 3AM here in the Philippines, and I’m typing this blog on the spot before I finally head to bed. Sometimes, the best stories come unplanned, just like this one.

A few hours ago, I gave in to my cravings and ordered two pieces of Mang Inasal chicken via Grab Food. Honestly, I wasn’t in the mood to cook because of my frustrations with the wall paint in my kitchen. The paint has started to look patchy in one small portion, and it’s been bothering me more than I expected.

So instead of stressing further, I decided to treat myself. The smoky, savory chicken became my comfort viand for dinner—and since I ordered two pieces, I cleverly saved one for breakfast tomorrow. Sometimes, small decisions like this feel like little wins, especially when life throws you tiny annoyances like uneven paint patches.

It’s funny how food can shift our mood. That Mang Inasal chicken reminded me that even when things don’t look perfect (like my kitchen wall), there’s always something simple and satisfying to enjoy.

Thank you, Hive Fam, for reading my spontaneous late-night ramble. Writing this before bed feels like sharing a slice of my day with friends. I appreciate your time and presence here. 💚

3 am? So ilang oras nalang tulog mo?? Omg ka. Anyways I miss Mang Inasal. Super tagal na last kain namin there. I missed their sisig, both pork and bangus. Meron paba nyan ngayon? And i'm curious how much that chicken cost now. Affordable pa rin ba?

Ganyan talaga oras ng tulog ko. Late na rin naman ako nagigising. Hahaha! Not sure if how much na pag may rice at dine in. Pero 300 binayad ko dyan sa 2 pieces na chicken. Niround off ko na para tip na rin ng rider. Malapit lang naman ang branch kung tutuusin. Sadyang tinamad lang ako lumabas.😁

buti walang grab sa amin te kasi baka maya maya order ako ng order

by the way, i hope nabusog ka te sa kinain mo hahahhaa

Haha! Masaya rin umorder sa Grab, lalo kung tinatamad ka lumabas. Sana magkaroon na dyan para lagi ka oorder. 😄 And yes, nabusog ako! 🤣
