Located along A. Soriano Avenue in the Femii Building, it’s the only spot in the Walled City where you can enjoy authentic Bacolod chicken inasal–grilled chicken marinated in vinegar, calamansi, and atsuete (annatto)–without even leaving Manila.
The recipe traces its roots to Architect Joe Cajili’s original Chicken House in Bacolod City, where it earned the hearts and stomachs of the locals in the ’80s. With decades of inasal mastery under its belt, the Intramuros branch faithfully preserves that classic smoky-sour taste, which earn it rave reviews and praises from local foodies.

They use the same style of preparing and grilling their chicken as the original recipe that captured the hearts of many people decades ago. Their chicken inasal is tender and tasty and goes perfectly well with rice.
Signature items include paa (thigh) and pecho (breast), along with other beloved Filipino skewers such as pork and intenstine. Diners love pairing their grilled inasal with garlic rice, chicken oil, and sinamak vinegar, just like back home in Bacolod, plus friendly sides and house-made dips complete the experience.
Aside from chicken inasal, they also have pork and offbeat options like pork bbq and isaw (intestine).
