Chicken inato, literally meaning "our chicken" or "homely chicken" in English is special marinated chicken bar-be-queued to golden brown appetizing goodness.
Upon getting the menu, he ordered chicken thigh for only PhP65.00, cheap by Manila standard where a similar meal costs aboout Php100 or more.
a noisy picture of the chicken at ISO1600...'twas too dark inside
the bahay kubo ambiance of the place is good, though the lights are too dim for practical photography of food if you don't have additional light with you.Tutubi did what he saw locals eating there did: eat with bare hands :P

Penong's in Davao is good, but so is (or was?) Chicken BBQ at Dusk Til Dawn (also in Davao) which was served with a special caramelized onion dip..yum!
ReplyDeleteI've never tasted the ones you're mentioning. I guess we have rather plain BBQ spicy mix over here in Sweden.
ReplyDeleteA tip when it comes to taking photos in dark environment: have a miniature pocket torch with you and light up the plate with, it works pretty well :-)
"though the lights are too dim for practical photography of food".... probably a place to bring a girl and not a camera! ;-)
ReplyDeleteLooks masarap!

ReplyDeleteLifecruiser, i have one. but i left it at home in my eagerness to travel light :(

yum! but is the white meat tender? i had experiences with barbequed chicken in some restaurants. they're coarse though they look palatable.
ReplyDeletelooks like you're having the time of your life. :-)
