Kinabuchs Grill and Bar in Puerto Princesa<\/strong>\u00a0opened 19 years ago and has garnered a cult following through word-of-mouth marketing. Owned by the motocross legend\u00a0Edward \u2018Butch\u2019 Chase<\/strong>, the name of the restaurant translates to “Butch’s place<\/em>“.<\/span><\/p>\n

Located along the main road of Puerto Princesa proper, the restaurant welcomes regular local customers and drones of tourists during the island’s high season.<\/p>\n

Everyone is welcome to try the familiar Filipino dishes, the international dishes, and even the unique crocodile meat Palawan has to offer off their menu.\u00a0Customers get a variety of choices as Knabuch’s is popular for cooking crocodile meat in different ways.<\/p>\n

One of which is their bestseller Crocodile Adobado,<\/strong> a classic Filipino dish only with smaller chunks of meat and texture not far from that of pork. It is cooked with coconut milk instead of soy sauce making it extra creamy!<\/p>\n

If you fancy something spicy, try their Gising-Gising<\/strong>\u00a0a stew made of chopped vegetables, ground pork, ground shrimp, shrimp paste, and chili. The dish translates to “wake up-wake up” as its heat would truly keep you awake for hours!<\/p>\n

Another dish that Kinabuchs is popular for is their\u00a0Crispy Pata <\/strong>which is not cooked deep-fried and instead, they use Air Frier which requires less oil. The skin gets this gorgeous airy crispy skin and juicy fat and tender meat underneath!<\/span><\/p>\n
