Trying Out Chicboy along Jupiter Street

03.26.2011 by Leah // 3 Comments

My brother has been prodding us to try Chicboy with branches at Jupiter Street and in front of Makati City Hall (if you’re from Makati).

We went there today for our lunch and at around 11 am, the store is not packed with the weekend lunch crowd.   I guess this is the best time to have lunch there, as the place is always packed full (according to my brother).

Food orders are taken over-the-counter.  (that’s not me placing orders, btw)

We ordered for the Chicken Inasal set (at P99 / set, you get a small bowl of soup, the Chicken Inasal and a cup of rice).

Here’s our bullion-cube chicken soup:

The Chicken Inasal set (it’s smaller than the servings at Chicken Bacolod, but this one’s much, much cheaper):

Comparing Chicboy’s Inasal with Bacolod Chicken, I would go for the latter anytime.  This tasted more like a Chicken BBQ.  I was expecting for a crispy chicken skin, like the way they do it at Bacolod Chicken.

I wish I tried the Cebu Lechon Manok instead, seeing that Marjorie enjoyed their liempo version (see her short but sweet food review here).

My brother also ordered their Bangus Sisig (P75.00 per serving):

We were not able to finish this one because it’s not that good.  It lacked flavors and reminded me more of a ginisang bangus.  They should have put in more onions, and flavorful onions at that.

Overall, our experience at Chicboy was just so-so (but for me, it’s a disappointment).   Although their meals are really pocket-friendly (their immediate competitor would be Mang Inasal),  I would not recommend this for those looking for authentic Chicken Inasal.      The best in town would still be Bacolod Chicken.

    thanks for the reference Leah! 🙂 I tried their chicken lechon cebu also but it paled in comparison to their lechon liempo. So i can expect Chicken Bacolod is still the to-go for the chicken inasal, as you suggested. 🙂 i’d go for Chicboy’s liempo anytime though. uhm, well, after the wedding. =D

    […] me, the best chicken inasal in town is from Bacolod Chicken.   Remember my post about Chicboy?   Chicken inasal does not and should not taste like chicken barbeque, it’s made of a […]

To My Father By Georgia Harkness A giant pine, ma To My Father
By Georgia Harkness

A giant pine, magnificent and old
Stood staunch against the sky and all around
Shed beauty, grace and power.
Within its fold birds safely reared their young.
The velvet ground beneath was gentle,
and the cooling shade gave cheer to passers by.
Its towering arms a landmark stood, erect and unafraid,
As if to say, “Fear naught from life’s alarms”.
It fell one day.
Where it had dauntless stood was loneliness and void.
But men who passed paid tribute – and said,
“To know this life was good,
It left it’s mark on me. Its work stands fast”.
And so it lives. Such life no bonds can hold –
This giant pine, magnificent and old.

To our shelter and safety while he lived, we miss you so much.
Happy 2nd Year in Heaven, Daddy ❤
