Curry Piyanggang Manok with Rice (PHP 79.00)

Curry Piyanggang Manok - a chicken dish prepared using burnt coconut paste which gives it a distinct black color. It is sauteed in onion, other spices and coconut milk is added to make it creamier. It has the right spiciness and it's bursting with flavors.

Grilled Piyanggang Manok - grilled chicken coated with burnt coconut paste. A bit dry, but still packed with that distinct burnt coconut paste.
