Cooking with Mama Z

20/08/2024

WELL...I totally forgot but it was Yes Lah's 2nd birthday over the weekend! Two years ago Yes Lah opened it's doors and I still remember how chaotic that first day was and it's mad to reminisce of all the times, people, events and memories made in this little space 🙏🥹🎈

Running a business has it's sad/stressful times too so to be here writing this, despite all those of times is a big achievement. So, all in all, thank you for your support and allowing Yes Lah to still be a thing and although we (alongside many other small businesses) fight to survive another day, it's your continued support that keeps us still here!!🤝

I'd also like to give a massive thank you to the Yes Lah team (past and present!) our amazing neighbours on Barlow Moor Road, incredible suppliers and friends and family for all the help, support, laughs and more over the past 2 years... I couldn't have done it without you and for that I am forever grateful 💚

Thank you for supporting local and making my little dream of having a space to cook, out Filipino food on the map and host mega events a reality ✨🇵🇭🥰

So cheers to 2 years, here's to hopefully many more! Happy birthday Yes Lah x

Thank you all again,
Zos x 🎈

Hello everyone! We have had a few new followers recently 💜🥹so I thought I'd do a little reintroduction behind the voice on this account and the business -Yes Lah 😄🌴

I'm Zos! Also known as Zosima. You may not see me as often at the front as I'm back of house in the kitchen, cooking all the food for the cafe! ☺️

It will be coming to 2 years that we will have been open in Barlow Moor Road and prior to that, I was doing Filipino inspired street food, catering and events with my cooking page since 2018. Before that, I worked in hospitality all my life and have had the pleasure of working alongside some amazing individuals and companies which has lead me to where I am today! ✨

I am a 90s baby, love my cats and absolutely love I get to cook Filipino food and flavours to you all. I love everything about food, sharing and experiences! I literally don't know what else I'd do if it wasn't for my work involving feeding people and making connections- I feel so lucky! so thankyou 💗

I was born and raised in the Middle East pretty much my whole live before moving to the shire, also known as the Ribble Valley in Lancashire. However, I do call Manchester my home and haven't left since 2011 since I came to university here 🌴💖

Some random things:

I have an Art History degree! but always had a passion for food. I think my creative output was channelled into my food and I always love experimenting and learning as much as I can 💚 big up my CAH 2014 alumni.

I was on the radio talking about air fryers 🤣 lol so random but true

I am scared of mascots 🫣 always have been

I really don't like ketchup (apart from Banana Ketchup) 🤣

My death row meal would be a Mama Noura shawarma and a pomegranate juice from Saudi 💗

Thank you for following our journey and your continued support for our small independent business! It honestly means the world we are still here.

Here is a picture of a fond memory from earlier this year in The Philippines in one of my favourite places, Bohol. I miss the Philippines so much! If you ever get the chance to visit, you must! 🇵🇭

25/07/2024

As we wait for our evening bookings, I thought I would share one of our specials on this week and it's a sweet one!💗

✨TURON ✨🇵🇭

are sweet crispy Filipino spring rolls filled with usually Filipino banana (Saba) or another great alternative is plantain. This time round, these Turon are filled with banana, cinnamon and brown sugar. These are served with my rather tasty Vegan salted sauce 🥥🌴

Guess what?
You also have the option to add a scoop of Vegan ice cream for that absolutely unctuous dessert and is such a great flavour combination. If Ube isn't your thing, we also have plenty of our ice cream pots for you to create your own remix of this dessert. 💥💥😮‍💨😍🇵🇭

Available now and until it sells out!
Be quick x

Oh, and it's entirely 💚🥰

Hey everyone! 💖 🙏

It's been great having some amazing takeovers to bring something different to Didsbury every other month! After much success from our previous Burmese takeover, we have got a corker for this Saturday's takeover at Yes Lah, 102 Barlow Moor Road M20 2PN🥟💖

I just wanted to let everyone know that we have an exciting kitchen takeover this weekend, Saturday June 15th with the legends behind Dumpling Lam!🔥🔥🔥✨

Come join us for a delicious pop up by Siu Mai bar, for a delicious day of dumplings and Hong Kong inspired wares. If you came to our 1st bday last year- you’ll know how great these dumplings are!

Dumpling Lam is a mother and son business based in Manchester. The name is derived from their family name “Lam” and it fits together with Frankie and his mum specialising in-Hong Kong-style Siu Mai dumplings 🤩

Our kitchen will be closed but we will have Frankie and his mum serving some delicious food alongside our regular drinks offerings, tasty Asian inspired cakes and retail.

Walk-ins only from 11am-8.30PM 🙏💖

Thanks everyone for reading! X

✨REVIEWS✨

Whilst business doesn't entirely rely on reviews and we are very lucky to have an amazing customer base, it does help small businesses for visibility to others on the wider internet! 💚

We sadly do get some really unhelpful or even recently, racist reviews that Google doesn't seem to want to get rid of which is really annoying and so unfortunate. To combat this and to help the algorithm, positive reviews do work with pushing those to the bottom. We even got a review from someone who had never even visited 😆😭 and they get given the space to write what they want and it affects our ratings 🥺

If you've visited or are one of our repeat customers and fancy taking a few minutes to share what you love what we do at Yes Lah, please do! It definitely helps us as a small business and we would be so so grateful 🙏

We have also had some incredible workshops and events recently, which is also another area of Yes Lah I'd love to further promote to let people know of our amazing events. If you came to any of our classes or events recently, please share your experience that you had with us! 😍

Thanks everyone, it means a lot! ✨
Open from 11am today - remember it's only today and Saturday this week you can get our goodies as we are closed on Sunday 🙏

Pictured: crispy potatoes w/ jackfruit 😍 vegan friendly, utterly delicious.

A really really big thank you to everyone who came and visited this week and this weekend. Thank you for your patience when it's been busy as I find my rhythm cooking the new menu! ✨🙏

Yesterday we had a yoga and brunch class with and I've not shared what the guests got to eat. Coincidentally all our guests chose the same option on the day and I really enjoyed plating this up for their brunch after yoga. Everyone chose Tortang Talong as their option! 🍆

As it's Filipino food month, here is another Filipino favourite of mine- Tortang Talong 🍆✨🇵🇭

Tortang Talong is a smokey aubergine omelette often served during the day that you eat with rice and condiments, such as Banana ketchup or sawsawans like S**a ( spicy vinegar) or Toyo (a soy dip). Pictured here is the Tortang Talong with some pickles and also a toyo dip which is flavoured with soy, fresh lime, garlic and chilli. I didn't have a bottle of my BK spare but I let the yogis try their brunch with my Hot Zos which everyone thoroughly enjoyed!! 😍

Would you want Tortang Talong on one day as a special? Comment below and let us know! ✨

There will also be a big batch of Banana Ketchup and Hot Zos production made in the next few weeks so keep an eye out incase you want to buy some! Perfect for the future BBQ situations when the days are getting longer and the sun is saying hello 🌴

See you all from next Thursday! Salamat x

31/03/2024

Thank you all for reading! Xx

25/03/2024

It's been a little while since I popped my face on here and we have had a few new followers and a little time has passed since I've been back. I thought I'd do a little reintroduction of myself, especially with this week being the ✨final✨ week of the current menu and things are switching up next month! ✨🇵🇭

Mabuhay/hello everyone I'm Zosima or Zos and I run Yes Lah!
I am half Filipino 🇵🇭 and half English, born and bred in Saudi Arabia but I have called Manchester my home since 2011.I have worked all over Manchester in various hospitality jobs from bar work in clubs to kitchens, where I found my passion to pursue cooking full time outside of loving to feed people at home ☀️

From cooking Jamaican food at SK, running a deli to doing various events, supperclubs and other catering jobs for others- I took the plunge and launched Mama Z in 2018 full time. I did various pop ups and street food events across the North West before doing my first summer residency at Hatch, Oxford Road which was my first taste of having a permanent place and now here we are! nearly 2 years later being in Didsbury (albeit a little differently than how it started) serving tasty food and drinks, and hosting incredible workshops and events at 102 Barlow Moor Road 🌱💖

I've had the pleasure of working alongside and meeting so many amazing people along the way through my career in this city which is probably why I haven't left! I love how close the community is and it's also just mega to be able to collaborate with others in a space that I can call my own.

I feel very lucky and privileged to be able to do that, but I am also immensely proud of the hard work that it has taken to get here- esp with the support of so many of you who have visited or initially invested before YL opened. All businesses come with it's challenges but it's literally all I've ever wanted to do so do this full time is something I've dreamt of since uni (lol my uni pals will know this!) 🤣

Filipino food and playing homage to my heritage has always been a passion since day one starting Mama Z and I hope you are all looking forward to the new menu and what's to come in April at YL🥰🙏

💖 Z

08/02/2024

Something new to introduce to you all! Say hello to the SILOG KITS 🍳 a Filipino inspired brunch kit for you to create at home! Now available to pre order via the website or on the linktree for you to collect and create at home! ✨

www.yeslahmcr.com

After getting a lot of love from my post over on on my Filipino breakfast post I wanted to do a kit where you can also experience a Filipino breakfast in the comfort of your own home! 💚

What's a Silog? 🇵🇭

Well, there are many types of Silog to get but it means to eat with rice- specifically garlic fried rice...the best !! At Yes Lah we have our Tocilog bowl which plays homage to one type of Silog with our in-house Chicken Tocino which is a delicious sweet cured garlic chicken 😍

In the Silog boxes we also have a few additions like crispy anchovies, S**a (spicy vinegar), pickled cucumber and all the garnishes so you can enjoy a Filipino breakfast like I did many times when I was away in Jan! They are so tasty and you obviously don't have to eat it for breakfast, but this is commonly eaten for breakfast in The Philippines as a hearty meal to keep you full and going all day! ✨🌴

I will change the Silog meats up according to demand but for now, the Silog boxes are with our in-house Chicken Tocino as part of the box. Looking forward to hopefully boxing these up and you all putting these together at home! 🇵🇭

Silog for life! 🇵🇭✨

"We call the coconut tree the king of trees" 👑

I was fortunate enough to be able to watch how a friend's family kitchen worked and although I did ask to help with the cooking, Tita Thelma wouldn't let me so I watched and learnt.

Here, I watched fresh coconut milk being squeezed to be turned into a variety of dishes that night for dinner. This is done fresh every day, with the coconuts that grow straight outside on the beach. You can't get any fresher than that and you could taste that in Thelmas food and cooking 🇵🇭

I watched as the coconut flesh gets grated before being soaked with a bit of hot water and squeezed at different stages to get the milk. I watched as the first and second squeezes of coconut milk were used for different dishes. The different stages of the coconut milk production being squeezed, produces different viscosity. Considering the majority of us only have access to the coconut milk in a can, watching this labour of love really felt special and was amazing to watch and learn! everything done by hand, everything done without cutting corners ✨

Thelma told me that the coconut tree was the "king of trees" because of its many uses: the sweet water to drink, the flesh for it's coconut milk, the husks for natural kindling and the leaves are used for skewers. It really is the most giving of trees and it's no wonder as to its name! 😍

29/01/2024

My last final full day in the Philippines was spent going to local markets and eating some delicious street food, before buying some last minute bits and hanging out with a dear friend from Saudi .kronicles and being shown around Makati 💚

I had to post about our dinner last night because it was just SO GOOD and was just the best meal after a few drinks last night. This place was actually on my list to go to and it was ace to be taken there by a Makati resident and to share the experience together! I can't really say anything apart from WOW as it was actually sublime 🤩

Chicken Inasal is an institution in the Filipino BBQ game and the regions pioneering this is in Bacolod and Iloilo. Fragrant BBQ chicken marinated in lemongrass, garlic and vinegar is then grilled to perfection and basted with annatto chicken oil. You then enjoy this with garlic rice, doused in the same annatto chicken oil and enjoyed with your hands! So dreamy. Of course, no Inasal would be complete without the sawsawan with chillies, calamansi and S**a or Toyo 🇵🇭✨

I absolutely inhaled this dinner and enjoyed it so so much. Such a lovely end to a great day out. We have time to kill before our flight home later and it's a bitter sweet feeling of sad and also happy to return home.

Looking forward to squeezing my furr babies but I am also going to miss the magic of the Philippines. Looking forward to getting stuck back into work feeling much more energised, inspired and rested...maraming salamat to the Philippines for doing this for me and making me feel closer to who I am and where I'm from- it's like I never left 💖

15/01/2024

Mabuhay! 💚

A big hello from the Philippines and also a big thank you to everyone who came through this weekend and ate some of amazing food! It's been lovely to see your pics! ✨🙏

I just wanted to give a little update whilst I have been on my travels, soaking up the sights, the smells and reconnecting with The Philippines. I'm posting more regularly via my other page if you want to follow there for my daily adventures! 🇵🇭🌴

Here is a picture of just one stall at one of my favourite places to peruse and have a look- local markets! It's so good to see what's available and they are so colourful to look at. Markets are so abundant here with gorgeous produce, fruits and vegetables that many locals and businesses will use for some tasty dishes 🍌

Remember-I'm doing a Vegetarian cooking class in March and I have eaten some sublime vegetarian/vegan dishes whilst I've been out here which is giving me soo much inspo for this class! 🤤

We have lots of other events and workshops to book for via the website for this year for you to look forward to! Tickets for some are selling out as it's limited spaces so be quick.

Hope everyone is well and sending love! 🙏🇵🇭

01/01/2024

Wishing you all a very Happy New Year for 2024! 💖
2024 will bring some exciting changes to Yes Lah -please see the post for more info!✨

Good morning everyone 💓

We are open 11-4 today for all your Malaysian and Filipino goodness at Yes Lah. We thought we would share our Filipino Tocino- sweet cured in-house chicken that we marinate before frying for our Tocilog 🍳🌟

The chicken is flavoured with lots of garlic, Annatto and other delicious ingredients to give it a sweet, savoury and sticky flavour that we serve with rice, a fried egg and salad. You will find versions of Tocilog all over the Philippines as it's a very popular breakfast dish 🇵🇭

We get asked a lot if our meat is halal and yes we are. We work with a local butcher that supplies us our meat and this is one of the many FAQ we get. Remember, all our FAQ are on our website! we don't always see your messages on insta, especially during service so plz refer here if you get stuck!🙏

See you later on Didsbury! 🫶

P.s How gorgeous is evening light! we are here for it 💓

23/09/2023

We have had A LOT of requests for whole cakes recently which is great but also some of the requests we have had are just not feasible! 💓

There is only ONE amazing woman aka Yen making all these wonderful cakes (on her day off too btw!!) which is why we have a one week notice policy on our whole cakes to be ordered on our website ✨

The cakes are not baked on site so we cannot whip one up on the spot and unfortunately a bakery is not our sole business either at Yes Lah so please understand. Whilst we will always try to help, it's also up to the customer to be organised too. It's not on us if you've forgotten your other halfs bday 😆🫶

Our whole cakes are available on our online shop with a few different flavours for you to choose from.
Cakes are to be collected during our open hours a week from ordering.
You can also pre- order in advance, just get in touch via email and we will make a note of it for you ✨

Cake note:

We will NOT be taking any whole cake orders during October 14-31st as Yen and her family will be away on holiday 🙏
