They offer grilled chicken with different flavors of pasta or rice, with side dishes that include mashed potatoes, veggies, etc. For a very reasonable price, you can achieve the combination of great food and a happy budget for lunch or dinner.

I'm happy to see that World of Chicken caters to a whole market of chicken lovers who like their chicken as simple as it can be. Every piece if filled with the most amazing mixture herbs and spices that bring out the best flavors. Pair the chicken with a serving of pasta or rice and you're sure to have a filling and fulfilling meal that is worth the price tag. A little tip though, ask the server to add an extra heaping of sauce to your chicken instead of asking sauce on the side. You won't be charged for the extra sauce as long as you politely ask to do so.

Since the place was about a 15 minute walk from my condo, I first tried it on a Sunday at 2 pm. It's a small local restaurant that's open air on a corner. You can place your order in the counter but have to wait to be seated before they will bring your food. I had to wait a good 30 minutes before a table was free for the staff to clean and tell us to take that table. We got the pecho (chicken breast) and garlic rice, and I have to say, it definitely was good. Hot off the charcoal grill, it tasted best when you add the chicken oil to the rice. Chicken was juicy and was the best I had in Manila (I did try other inasal places before I made that final decision) They give you a box of gloves if you want to eat with your hands but will also give you utensils. Overall, it was a great meal that I did come back a week later at 1130 am, it was still packed but got a table that was open so no wait. Never had chicken from Bacolod but this definitely was better than Mang Inasal and Bacolod chicken.

Crazy Chicken is a cozy diner along Lilac Street in Marikina City. It may look small in square feet…read morebut this restaurant is big on flavor, offering a wide range of choices on its deep fried chicken wings. After a road trip to Antipolo, we decided to swing by Crazy Chicken for a quick dinner. We ordered the Loaded Fries and the 16-piece chicken wings meal in four flavors: Original Buffalo Cheesy Cheese Lemon Pepper Asian Sriracha The Original Buffalo wings were an easy favorite, despite not having blue cheese dip with it. The level of heat in this variant is just a smidge over mild, which is perfect for the warm weather we've been having lately. The Cheesy Cheese wings were generously dredged with cheese powder, and delivered that salty umami kick that I was craving for. It may look simple and basic, but looks can be deceiving. The Lemon Pepper wings were a bit timid in terms of flavor, so this would be a good choice for the least adventurous member of your party. Serious foodies might take a pass on this variant. The Asian Sriracha wings were as hot as the weather, which tasted more like hot sauce instead of sriracha. Too spicy hot for me. The Loaded Fries are a great complement to the chicken wings, and Crazy Chicken was very generous with the bacon.

Unlike most people, I'm not too fond of chicken. If I had a choice between pork and chicken, I'd…read moredefinitely choose the pig. But I do recognize and appreciate well-cooked chicken, and it was a real pleasure I got just that when my boyfriend and I tried out Brown's Gourmet Chicken at The Hub, Greenfield District. Before I dive into their yummy roasted chicken, let me just share how much I appreciated their staff. They probably have the nicest bunch of waiters any restaurant has ever had. They are very polite- exuding warmth and sincerity thru their smiles. Excellent service, really. The venue has a very rustic feel to it so it could pass as a date place. Pretty romantic for a simple dinner out with a special someone. The interiors are dominated with a lot of wood so it instantly has that homey feel to it. Plus the delicious aroma of roasted chicken surprises you upon entering the restaurant. Although there was an outside dining area, we opted to eat inside. My boyfriend ordered their roasted 1/2-chicken with rice. I ordered one of their set meals that come with roasted ¼ chicken, a salad and oil-based tomato pasta. I'm no master chef but I'm pretty sure that the chicken was perfectly cooked. It was juicy and tasty, and went well with my pasta. Soooo good, I can't wait to have it again! The price is pretty reasonable. We shelled out about 300 each so it's not all that bad. I went back a few weeks after when I caught up with one of my friends over dinner. And guess what? She loved it too!

The food here was ok at best. 3 stars is ok, based on the Yelp guidelines here. So I'll give them that. The food was just ok, and you can get better within the same building if you're looking for Filipino food. The highlight of Max's, the fried chicken, was alright. I'm not usually one to harp on service, because not my thing, but dang the people here seemed like some of them didn't enjoy their lives. Not knocking them for that, just a note. I will say things take a loooong time here, as well.

I mean, how do you not like a business plan built by fried chicken since 1945? (Their slogan is "The house that fried chicken built.") If you can resist that, you probably also don't believe in Santa Claus, are an angry vegetarian, and hate kittens and rainbows. This is local comfort food in a plain restaurant setting. Nothing over the top except for the chicken skin! The chicken was crispy and crunchy on the outside with plenty of retained juiciness under the skin. I am not sure how they do this because the crispiness is less like a typically extra breaded layer that I am used to in US style southern fried chicken and more like a uniform layer of smooth, blasted on crunchy skin. However they do it, it was really good. The gratuitous sweet potato fries it comes with were not even necessary as they were lost in the background, overshadowed by that fantastic chicken. While most people seem to rave about the banana ketchup on the table as a sauce for the chicken and fries, I was much more into the hot sauce and Worcestershire also on the table. They were a perfect foil for the richness of the fried chicken. I almost emptied the entire bottle of hot sauce during my visit and that plus me gnawing on the bones like a rabid dog I'm sure had the wait staff thinking that I was possessed or had a tapeworm or something. I can attest that I was the only non-local in the place and this location is surrounded by the central business district and plenty of international hotels. I interpret this to be a good sign that this is a legitimate establishment of local good eats and there was not anything so local on the menu as to be scary for the visiting non-foodie (despite a poultry heavy menu, there was no Balut to be found!) I would especially encourage non-Filipino visitors to the area to check this place out and enjoy the wonders of a perfectly prepared chicken local style!

It was a cool, humid night, but it was terribly hot inside the restaurant. The place is al fresco, and ventilation clearly has to be improved. There were two of us, and we got a half roast chicken that went with two side dishes. The serving size was just right, but it might not be enough for two incredibly hungry people. Lol. The chicken was surprisingly tender and juicy all throughout. And I loved it even more with tons of garlic sauce! It was awesome, I can't wait to come back!

On one of my last nights in Manila, I was looking for a straightforward place to meet up with some…read morefriends for an evening of eating, drinking, and laughter. Senor Pollo filled that bill perfectly. Tip: This is a very popular venue. The crowd is comprised mostly of twenty-somethings and foreigners (like moi!); if such things don't deter you, it's virtually impossible not to enjoy the excellent food, strong drinks and convivial vibe. Given Senor Pollo's reputation, it was a foregone conclusion that the food ordered by my friends and I that evening would contain several chicken selections. While the chicken here isn't quite as good as the original pollo loco, it's still completely legit ;-) Another of my favorites here are the quesadillas. Additionally, they have several very popular non-Mexican items, including fries and Buffalo wings. While the food selections are spot on, it's the drinks that make this place so popular. All the cocktails, whether they're pink and fruity or uber-Manly, have a kick stronger than a mule; no worries about excess sobriety when you're here ;-) About the only thing lacking here are hangover ready-made hangover cures; maybe they'll address that lack when next I'm in the Philippines :-)

Like a lot of recommendations from others, the cream pasta is packed full of umami flavors and done just right. The purple rice here was also notably good. Overall a decent mall dining experience. I think I've come to the conclusion that in SEA/APAC a lot of good restaurants and dining experiences are mall centric.
