Litson Manok

from Andok’s [takeout]

in my apartment

-Malate, Manila-

The chicken was pretty good.  Beyond the burnt skin, the meat was nicely cooked, still juicy.  A bit salty, brined in some soy-based sauce.  But not bad for quick takeout.

Baliwag (see most recently 6.247 Manok) — located half a block away (see generally 6.210 Liempo) — is better.

However, for the same reason that made me stop patronizing Baliwag — again, I suspect the brining solution; but in fairness, the chicken may not have been the culprit — this place will also be on my ban list, just to be safe.

Eating out in Manila, at least this part of town, is largely an exercise of elimination.
