Joel Torre’s Manukan is famous for its Chicken Inasal. I always wanted to try eating there but I can’t find time. Luckily, last week Andrew treated my there for dinner.
It was an open air restaurant but their central cooling system works. It’s not that hot inside unlike other open aired restaurants. The parking is also a bit hard if there are a lot of customers. We were there around 9pm and they have average customers. They told us that they are usually full on a Friday night or late late night. They are open until 2am.
We were so excited that we took a picture of the place first before eating. The table next to us are speaking Ilonggo. We were having fun just by observing the people eating there. Such a simple life, how hard could that be?
Anyways, we tried their chicken of course. PAA for me and PECHO for Andrew. We ordered 2 rice and “itlog maalat salad” which is great! The chicken was so yummy, compared to all inasal restaurants I’ve been. The chicken is so tasty that you don’t even need to dip it in soy sauce. We ordered extra chicken oil and another set of rice!
One downside is I ordered C2 drink. I should’ve ordered a softdrink! Nevertheless, we enjoyed our dinner and the crew were warm and friendly. Their price is affordable too. I’ll definitely be going back there for more. We haven’t tried their pork and other dishes.
