n my journey to try as many local food items as possible during our stay in Manila, we landed at Philippines’ first and only BBQ fast food chain called Mang Inasal. You can spot a Mang Inasal easily by the distinctive green and yellow logo with bright red writing. Having passed by a few locations, I finally decided to give it a shot at the Mang Inasal on Makati Avenue.
The first location opened in 2003 and within the last 10 years, they have expanded to 464 branches nationwide as well as over 10,000 employees. The unique items include unlimited free rice. There are actually staff members who walk around with rice buckets serving you rice refills to your heart’s desire. You will not leave Mang Inasal feeling hungry. Unlimited rice is a creative marketing concept – I’m surprised more restaurants haven’t jumped on board with the idea!
I opted for the yummy pork sisig and mouth-watering flan leche (Filipino style Creme Caramel). I’ll have to come back to try out the rest of the menu items such as the paa, pecho, bangus inihaw, bangus sisig, and pork BBQ sticks. If you want to hang out with the locals, connect with Filipino culture and food, and get away from the Westernized fast food chains, try out Mang Inasal!
