Native Chicken Inasal and Banana Split (Food Review)

Fifth Dish:
Native Chicken Inasal

I tried eating at TANOK'Z Chicken Hauz at SM Gensan (located at ground floor), because they are serving "only" a free range chicken or NATIVE CHICKEN which they were known for. This is my first time eating here and this is my experience.

MY VERDICT about their food:
Tanok'z Chicken Inasal (Pecho Part without drinks Php 105)
Size: Just half a size compared to Mang Inasal's Pecho Part.
Flavor: The natural umami of the chicken that was left is only about 20-30%, slightly smoky flavor of 15-25%, saltiness of around 30% at most (well seasoned).
Texture and doneness: Dry and overdone, chicken has lost almost 99% of moisture (basically dried out already). Which results to a mellow chickeny flavor. It is like almost eating a flavored paper. 😅

But their "free" SOUP does the magic creating a synergistic effect and balance using a light creamy corn soup and a mellow chickeny flavour (chicken inasal) mend together in your tongue. It's just amazing if you eat them both interchangeably. Although that corn soup were just made using a ready mix powder/mixture to be dissolved in warm to hot water.

Note:
Don't you ever dare use their in-house TANOK'S SAUCE/Vinaigrette which is widely available on every table just before you arrived. It's a combination of distilled vinegar, soy sauce and white sugar. It DOESN'T really compliment their Chicken Inasal. Even if you add chillies and calamansi to recreate the taste, but the boldness of its sweetness really shines thru. Not a good complimentary dipping sauce.

Just create your own sauce instead if you would loved to! 👍😉

But if you like sweet base dipping sauce. I would highly recommend trying their in-house vinaigrette.


Banana Split: 
Php 65 (For me LACK'S IMPACT!)
The Banana is quite good, but the Ube Ice Cream and Chocolate Sauce is of poor quality resulting to a poor flavor combination.

»Ube Ice Cream: Lacking some impact of having a STRONG and Pure flavor of ube. Too far from the best quality ube ice cream in the market.

»Chocolate Sauce: Also lacking some depth of chocolatey flavor. Very light in the sense that it's not noticeably chocolately when it comes to taste. You'll only know its chocolate because of its color and very slight chocolatey flavor.

Disclaimer:
This is just my opinion according on how I evaluate their food that was served to me. It's just my honest evaluation on how I ate good food.

Either way, its a good restaurant to recommend. They have a good customer service. Just dont know if the chickens they were serving was always freshly cooked though. 😝😅

Of course! You will not find an extra ordinary dish with only having lesser than a 150pesos for its price range. I just expected too much. That's all. Hahaha 😂

Native Chicken BBQ (Food Review) - Delicious!

Eighth Dish: Native Chicken BBQ Hey guys! I was amazed about this new food hub in Gensan called FOOD TRIP PLAZA . Being here makes me drool, but not just that, I felt truly intimidated because of its wide array of stunning and gorgeous dishes; I just can't simply make a decision from what or which is to order for the past 30-45mins. I just roamed around and asked few stalls regarding their dishes. First off, I asked the TALABA STATION which offers a good varieties of seafoods and shellfishes, but sad to say, as I was craving for their fresh oysters they actually ran out of supply that their next fresh delivery from Iloilo were scheduled 6-7pm during that time I went there, beacause I arrived passed 4pm already and in my hunger I took a stroll and observe some stalls and if I find their dishes welcoming nor appetizing. While having this commotion in me, nonetheless of the choices that were made flat on their table counters; I felt like in restraint to eat or make ...

Pad Thai, a stir fried noodle dish (Food Guide + Full Review)

Fifteenth Dish: Pad Thai (Stir fried rice noodles) After this long day to finish my errands, I just love to treat myself and my plan was to search for good quality Pork Sisig then went to FOOD TRIP PLAZA then later arrived at around 4:33 pm, since that Turks' Shawarma wasn't good enough to keep me going. When I reach out onto some stalls, I haven't found any that sure has got some calibre to call this as their specialty; I just nod to few of them who offers this type of dish which is for me a "so-so sisig" (not the best and also not the kind of which that I've been looking for that has some thickener which uses either pork brain, chicken liver, mayonnaise or a combination of which), they are perhaps serving it the classical way. Some of which that I've asked was a cheerful girl staff from YUBABA , typically there are two sisig choices in their menu the "Sizzling Pork Sisig" with two different price range but of the same name -- t...
