According to our guidebook, this string of restaurants are THE places to eat Chicken Inasal, the specialty of Bacolod. The chicken we had was juicy and well barbequed, but, frankly, I was totally unable to taste any distinguishing flavor that would occasion the raptures that are typically heaped on Chicken Inasal. One BIG warning. We made the mistake of ordering... More

The chicken was very very tasty, tender and juicy. The atsuete flavored rice hit just the spot. The longganiza wasn't bad either. This barbecue chicken is definitely a must try (if you are not too squeamish about your ambience)

Don' be scared of the shack-lke appearance of Manukan Country. Just walk in and enjoy the best grilled chicken you ever had. And the price is aroundt 65 pesos.

Tried this because it is always said that your Bacolod experience isn't complete without trying the local Inasal. I asked the staff on their recommendation and ordered accordingly but I was only really looking forward tonthe chicken legs inasal. I was pleasantly surprised with the taste ofbthe gizzard! It's nothing like what I've tasted in Manila. And the chicken inasal... More

Go local! Chicken barbecue- while you wait for them to grill it. Fresh oysters for Php40. Bring your own wet tissue and hand sanitizer. Be ready to eat with your fingers! You come home smelling like smoke and grill. Delicious! complete with vendors selling you art works- dont forget to barter!

Manokan is a big semi-outdoor area with dozens of restaurants. It is a standard filipino bbq place with plastic chairs and big groups sharing red horse grandes. The food can vary depending on where you eat. It is also somewhat expensive. The only thing I didn't like was the wave of beggars and souvenir salesmen that constantly pestered our table.

It's row after row of grilled chicken and chicken parts the Bacolod way! Inexpensive and delicious, it's something you should not miss. Be prepared to 'rough it out' as the place is as spartan as it can be.

this place is barbeque all the way as its specialty. The chicken barbeque, the gizzard, liver, and a lot others are good. Dont forget to order also the steamed talaba. For your rice, try mixing that oil they have with your rice. Don't expect it to be fine dining, because it is not. It is really a place where roughing... More

The chicken here is just too great. Definitely a meal that can rival Italy's pasta and Spain's paella. (Though those aren't chicken dishes really, but the taste is comparable).
