The Chicken Rice Shop in the Philippines

The Chicken Rice shop is a Malaysian chain that offers favorites like Hainanese Chicken Rice, Nyonya Paiti, Honey Barbecue Chicken and and more. Here in the Philippines, it is operated by the Pancake House Group. Our dining experience was quite pleasant, and in CRS, they offer a casual dining experience.

Hainanese Chicken

Nothing spectacular about the soup and rice

Taste-wise and price-wise, their Hainanese Chicken is so-so, but its tender. The soup sucks because it lacks flavor sort of like the free soup they give in Chinese fastfood restos, and the rice slightly ok. The chicken is good, although I have tasted better.But if you compare this with Wee Nam Kee's. This one fits the budget, especially when you're craving for Hainanese.

But when you taste the Honey Barbecue Chicken, now you're talking delicious. Their Barbecue Chicken is made like Asado or Barbecue Pork, because the meat is tender, the caramelized glaze is bit sweet you have combination of flavors that tickles the palate.

They also have desserts and group meals for families and friends.

For Hainanese that won't break the bank, go to Chicken Rice Shop.
