Conching's Native Chicken

It's been a great field trip to Cebu with the old barkada.  On the recommendation of one of our friends, the group decided to have late lunch in Conching's, an open-air eatery in front of SM Cebu City.  We were lucky that the rain had stopped and cool wind provided a relaxing atmosphere.  The restaurant prides itself for native chicken inihaw, which is very tasty (comes with a tasty dip consisting of soy sauce, vinegar, chili, onions & green tomatoes) and together with puso (caked rice cooked in coconut leaves), makes for one satisfying lunch!  Being native chicken, the hatchlings are raised without large doses of growth supplements and antibiotics.  As these are uncaged and free to roam, native chicken squabs are less meaty as compared to farmed chicken, and the meat is considerably much tougher.  For complimentary dishes, we also tried the rellenong alimasag (stuffed crab), the grilled talakitok (fish), and grilled liempo (pork belly).  Parking was convenient at 2:30 pm, but I was told that the crowd would overflow at lunchtime.  An amazing find at less than P300 per head for a sumptuous meal.
