Papz Lechon Manok


Vicky knew that the Callars would arrived in Ermita with hungry tummies from their long trip, so she decided to pick up lechon manok along Metropolitan Avenue in Makati for their late night dinner.  We couldn't find any our our regular choices, so we tried Papz Chicken.  The store didn't have much choices though, and only one chicken was cooked when we got there (you can see it at the top of the rotisserie in the picture above).  Each bird is priced like that of the store's competition (P189), and their version is served with their own concoction of toyo-mansi sauce made with siling labuyo for spice.  The chicken was stuffed with tanglad (lemon grass) leaves and the meat was quite tasty.  However, maybe because of probably the extended cooking time, I found the chicken on the dry side; it would have been better if they took the chicken off the hot charcoal once cooked.
