Inasal (Grilled Chicken) in Gen. Luna St., Iloilo City

Food, food and more delectable food. When an Ilonggo is asked what's good in Iloilo City, the delicious but affordable food is oftentimes mentioned. It seems like restaurants and eateries are found just about everywhere. Yes, Iloilo City and Province may just be a food haven for a lot of people. The wide array of restaurants offers just about any kind of cuisine - Chinese, Korean, Thai and of course, the all-time favorite, Pinoy (Filipino) to name a few.

In the evenings, food stalls would appear in the various streets of the city. One can then smell the heavenly scent of grilled food. These stalls are located usually near the universities and hospitals. For a measly amount, one can have a full meal. Just last week when I visited my friend, she had this craving for grilled pecho (chicken breast) from the food stall just outside the gates of St. Paul's Hospital in Gen. Luna St. It has been a
long since I had a taste of it. It was too far from the where I am currently based. It was about 6:30 in the evening when we went there and while we were approaching the place, the smell of the grilled chicken was already wafting in the air. Hhhmm..

Our suki is the first stall on the side if we face the hospital. We chose a chicken breast, several of chicken liver and gizzard. Another stick of sliced pork liver plus two cups of rice completed our order. We chatted while waiting for our order to be grilled. By the way, the food stalls also have a selection of other dishes for those who prefer not to have the grilled ones.Tables are also available if they want to eat there. In our case, we brought it to my friend's place. How much did we pay for everything? That particular dinner was around 150 pesos. Affordable and tasty!
