Peri-Peri or Piri-Piri as they call it in Portugal and Africa. It's not your typical roast chicken for sure. Flavored with lemon, herbs and spices, the chicken is served with an array of sauces.

Either way you pronounce it, this chicken dish is a winner. Especially with the teens who may have grown tired of the usual fried, breaded, roasted and barbecued chicken.

We tried the Cuatro (1/4) chicken called Palmas served with a choice of 2 sidings from Java rice, cole slaw, corn and carrots. Also the Chicken Platter which includes a cuatro, salad and pasta bolognese.

Portions were generous. So with the Chicken Soup which I shared with my teen. Costs P35 a bowl, P60 for unli serving! What a steal. As for sauces we chose hoisin, sweet soy and barbecue -- all good!

The clincher is the budget-friendly bill. Our lunch for 2 went under P500. For a satisfying meal, check out this place on the 2nd floor of Greenhills Promenade. Cinema Level. Bon apetit!

I always dread smelling like my lunch whenever we dine here, but food's good and value-for-money. Besides, the teens don't care if they smell like what they just ate.

I have yet to eat something here which I don't like. Beef, chicken or salmon, I always had a good meal. So with the teens.

Even their green tea ice cream was good. Told 'ya, it never missed a spot!

It's right smack in Makati's Red Light District -- an alley you wouldn't think of passing through when it gets dark. But that was then. Now brimming with excitement and hipster vibe, this is Felipe Street off P. Burgos.

Burritos, Tacos, Chipotle, Horchata, Anticuchos, Carne Asada, Chunchullos, Chicharrones, Barbacos, Cabrito, Mojitos, Margaritas -- you can't get more Mexican than that.

A hole-in-the-wall actually. They grill the meat up front, where some tables are also set up if you want to dine al fresco. Or stay in, but bear the heat. No airconditioning before 5pm but the fans help.

I say you give it a try. The chipotle pork burritos, carne asada tacos and chorizo gringas were good. So with the horchata. But do try it after 5pm inside the airconditioned interior quarters.   Hmmmm.
