Chicken Ati-atihan, Siquijor

Found in the downtown Larena, Chicken Ati-Atihan doesn't only cater to the appetite of the tourists. You'll notice that local people already marked the place as a regular hang-out to satisfy their chicken cravings.

I was mainly intrigue by the tag line " We did not invent grilled chicken; We perfected it". So I was like "okay lets try this!"

I ordered the BBQ grilled chicken with plain rice and hubby ordered his fried chicken servings. He was pretty excited to try and see if it taste like Inasal and so he said it is kinda like it. We both liked the fried chicken better than the grilled one. Its probably the sauce -I didn't like the mixture of fish sauce and Kalamansi and Labuyo. (Doesn't leave you much choice 'cause I tried asking for some vinegar and they didn't have any).

Its was a lot cheaper than our resort food for sure. We even had some take-out and its still didn't equal to one meal.

Note: Do not expect some nice modern fastfood setting here okay? Most foods here are served and cooked in a very basic way which could be the reason for their juiciness and taste.

The fried chicken here is a must-tryfor it can give Max's a run for its money.

Treat.

Why Not? (Deli, Bar & Videoke), Dumaguete

It was pretty rainy when we got off the ferry from Siquijor. For a wavy fridge-like odour ride, I can say that we did good holding our (excuse for the word) vomits.

Originally, we intended to consume our lunch in Hayahay Seaside Tree house Bar and Restaurant but since the tricycle driver told us that its pretty far/out of the way to Dumaguete Airport, we settled for a nearby restaurant that was practically a good walking-distance from the pier. (although we took the guy's trike.)

"Why Not? " is located along Rizal boulevard facing the shoreline. It was neat and pretty cozy inside and the bar is well maintained by the local staff who seemed to be very familiar with the foreign customers.

I wasn't starving yet so we just ordered a combo platter that was really yummy. True enough it was good for two. A serving of prawns, mouth-watering saucy steak, thick slices of house bread, some sort of rice and a choice of your own salad from their bar.

The serving portions are big and reasonably priced, food taste-awesome and the ambiance & staff are nice. We'll defintely come back.

Surely a treat.

The Flying Pig, Eastwood Mall

Walking around the Eastwood Mall with my hubby, we both agreed that we'll try the Johnny Rockets' burger next time because the long line to order extends outside their door.

We ended up trying The Flying Pig since they also have burgers in the menu. Upon ordering we we were told that all their burgers are not available. ( What a shame right? For having a giant banner of a burger outside-then nothing? W/e!)

As an alternative dinner we tried t,heir Manhattan Chowder and All meat Paella. They we're pretty good in terms of the taste, serving size and serving time.

Budget to eat is around P500-P800/per head. The food taste fine but its nothing fancy aswell as the place. I guess its pretty pricey for a simple meal.

The place is more suitable for groups than a dating-couple setup. For that you can go to Old Vine just few steps away. Treat though :P
