  1. We wandered into this restaurant a couple of weeks ago but didn't eat there. We decided against it after asking the counterpeson twice what the Chicken tastes like and all she answered was that it was roasted... twice. Basta it was roasted daw - that was all that she knew and all the information she offered even after a bit of probing. So ito pala yun... I wish their counter-person knew better.
