Nena's Rose II Chicken Inasal in Manokan Country, Bacolod
Nena's Rose II is one of those "other restaurants" found in Manokan Country of Bacolod, and out of curiosity we gave it a try. Yeah, we really wanted to find out why Aida's so famous and the other ones are just "meh". I made a separate blog post about it earlier, and you may want to read more about it here - Aida's versus the Others in Manokan Country.
The interior of the restaurant is dark and dreary producing an unwelcoming vibe. Also, this forces you to think negatively of the place and cast doubt as to the quality of food. Although the interior was heavily un-motivating, we still pushed for it just so that we can satisfy our curiosity.
Minutes of being there allowed us to adjust. Slowly, the place started feeling less dreary as we began to focus our attention on the food about to come.
Now, without delaying much, let me proceed with the food here in Nena's Rose II.
Chicken Inasal || Pechopak - P80
This chicken of Nena's Rose II tasted surprisingly great! It got this richness in savory flavor that tickled my taste buds. I'm guessing that this is attributable to chicken fat that seeped into the meat fibers. I'm not sure of it, but my palate could sense it, and it was able to enjoy the experience.
Anyway, the chicken was really good that we felt more satisfaction in here than in Aida's, at some point. Well, what I think added to our experience was the banana leaf cradling the chicken and the rice. It was subtle yet effective.
