That might not look very appealing above, but it was delicious. See, it was from a Michelin-listed place on the third floor of One Bonifacio High Street Mall, and this chef has brought dishes from Mindanao in the south up to Manila.
That dish featured tender pieces of chicken slowly cooked in a blackened mixture of coconut and spices, and it was wonderful, especially when countered with those tart pickles in the foreground and assisted with some rice. I was happy with their inadobong baby pusit too, which featured baby squid sitting in a dark and savory mixture that one could mop up with bread.
Garlic featured heavily across all of my dishes tonight, but in a soft and roasted way rather than a harsh and stinky way. The service here was a little confusing (and the menu was incredibly long), but I'd be happy to eat here again.
