Native Chicken BBQ at Mauring's Kamayan

Have you tried Native Chicken BBQ? Well, I just did and it was my first time at Maurings Kamayan, I find it really good. The meat was full-flavored. Mr. Romeo D. Penato owned the business here in gensan but his father runs the business since 1950's and the secret processed was passed on to them. They are the only one in Gensan selling native chicken bbq. Natives chicken comes from Isulan and delivered in gensan. It's difficult to find native chicken in large cities, but in the provincial countryside they are still very common. Maurings Kamayan name comes from his father "Mauricio".

Native chicken has never given any growth hormone so it's organic, since it takes time for the chicken to mature it cost little more than broiler type chicken. The meat is a little bit tough and extra lean. It's difinitely more flavorful.

For Mauring's Native Chicken it cost you Php 60.00 and for the rice its Php 8.00.

Euro Kitchen Buy one Take One Meals

A friend of mine was craving for steak. We accidentally passed by at Euro Kitchen a night before we had our lunch there. We saw on the left side of the door the list of the menu. We were amazed when we found out that they served daily buy one take one meals specially T-bone steak around 10:00 a.m until 1:00 p.m. only. So we decided to have our lunch on the next day at Euro Kitchen.

We had scrumptious T-bone steak for lunch and for my juice I got herb lemon, its very refreshing and taste good. The serving sizes are big and for the value money, really worth it. Sorry to say that I don't have any idea until when the promo end.

The area is small and very cozy to dine. Definitely I'm going back there. The service and food was good.

Here's the list for the buy one take one meals. What are you waiting for?
