Litson Manok

from Andok’s [takeout]

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.
