grilled chicken....chicken barbeque....chicken inasal....chicken inato....roast chicken....
this way (or should it be these ways) of cooking is very popular now....in fact, there is one restaurant becoming very, very popular lately....this restaurant not only cooks chicken inasal well but they also have unlimited serving of rice....there is also one 'take-out' chicken barbeque stand which is also gaining popularity...it became popular probably because of its good taste....if was further boosted by the endorsement of a filipina theater actress known worldwide....hey...wait...why am i not giving out names here?....why is this a blind item...there is no reason to....so let me name the stores and the actress.....the first one is mang inasal.....the secod one is chooks to go....and the actress is THE lea salonga.....anyway....
though i like both i still can't help but miss some of the originals....are they still around?....so to answer this question i tried to look for the ones i remember from of old....
te first one that i tried to look for was chicken bacolod....the one with the green signage...i used to eat at their store near glorietta (park square?) but it is no longer there....after asking a few friends i was reminded that there is a chicken bacolod resto near shopwise makati....it used to be at the corner where it is easily seen but unfortunately its original location is now occupied by chowking....they have now a small stall at the other end...there location is one you would easily miss....anyway, i went there and ordered pecho and garlic rice....i am happy to say that they were still able to maintain the taste that i used to love....their chicken is soft and juicy...cooked just enough such that it is not 'charred' or with 'fresh' blood inside.....before, the chicken was hard to remove from the stick...fortunately, they have devised a way such that with a few twists and pulls (using fork, of course) you can already remove the chicken from the stick....the garlic was also good....it has enough garlic for the rice to really taste 'garlicky'...let me explain this...there are other restos that served garlic rice which does not have any garlic taste whatsoever...so i really appreciate it that their rice taste like how garlic rice should....oh, before i forget, let me also discuss the 'dip' or the sawsawan....they have soy sauce, vinegar, chili pepper and calamansi...these are not mixed...you have the freedom to mix them according to your liking....their vinegar is great...it tastes good because it has ginger, garlic and chili pepper....chicken bacolod was able to make a perfect blend...i really love it...the only thing that i do not like with my 'reunion' with the place was that the chicken appeared smaller....oh, and the soy sauce bottle was no covered....
next time ill try the others....like baliwag chicken perhaps.....
