Classic Savory Chicken is the newest import restaurant that has touched Iloilo and now enticing the Ilonggos at Robinson's Place Iloilo. The queue is like a blockbuster especially at night as curious passers-by want to be in the know and taste the popular chicken that was created by the Tings borthers back in the 1950s in Escolta, Manila.
Actually, I haven't tried Classic Savory here in Iloilo and this blogpost is sort of remembering my Savory experience in Manila almost four years. I was at Food Choices in Glorietta looking for a place to eat and suddenly saw their stall. Without much though I got this combo meal with spicy squid and pancit lomi on the side plus lemonade that totalled almost PhP200. It was a price worth my curiosity.
I really thought it was fried before seeing my plate but was surprised to see a roasted chicken leg came on a plate with rice and side dishes. It was good - the chicken skin was well spiced and cooked and the meat was juicy that needed no gravy at all. But it was nothing spectacular in the end. At least I have satisfied my curiousity and surely, anytime now, I'll find myself rekindling the taste memories of Classic Savory Chicken here in Iloilo. Who knows, the taste could have changed; most probably it would be my taste...
