BACOLOD, PHILIPPINES – Welcome to Bacolod, one of the food capitals of the Philippines! They are known for a few speciality foods, but probably the most famous, and a food you’ll find all over the Philippines is chicken inasal – a unique style of barbecue chicken! Today we’re going on an ultimate bbq tour in Bacolod, and we’re going to uncover the secret as to why it’s so good!
The Bacolod Food Hunters (https://bacolodfoodhunters.com/) – Huge thank you to Martin and the team from The Bacolod Food Hunters for taking me around in Bacolod and for showing me some of the best places to eat bbq!
Here are the locations and the places we ate in this video:
Aida’s Chicken (https://goo.gl/maps/enTN2NsSg71cAiySA) – We’re starting at Manokan Country, probably the most famous place in Bacolod for chicken inasal, and it’s really so incredibly iconic. There are a few dozen places to choose from, but Martin recommended Aida’s as one of the local favorites. We were lucky to get into the kitchen to see the grilling action, and it’s some of the most exciting grill action you’ll see! One of the secrets of chicken inasal, along with all the marinade, is the continual basting of chicken oil and anatto as its being grilled. This keeps the chicken juicy and moist, and when you eat it, you eat more chicken oil in the rice.
Total price – 687 PHP ($12.53) for everything.
Chai Rose Barbecue (https://goo.gl/maps/azVUccHJSSRMQCxj6) – To continue this Filipino food tour we went to another legendary bbq spot on Bacolod known as Chai Rose Barbecue. They have insasal as well, but their speciality is pork bbq skewers. The taste is sweet and salty and it goes great along with chicken oil rice as well.
Silay City BBQ – We continued on to a small Filipino barbecue stall under a tree in Silay City. The family was so friendly and welcoming, and they have the full bbq spread of about 20 different skewers to choose from. The bbq was hot and delicious and especially good with Aunty’s homemade chili vinegar.
Total price – 170 PHP ($3.10)
Man Plaza – Finally to complete this Filipino street food tour of barbecue and inasal in Bacolod we went to one more legendary place – a place that’s frequented by local students in the area – Man Plaza. It’s an entire bbq plaza all under one roof with about a dozen stalls to choose from. We chose a place called Royam’s. Expect plenty of smoke and friendly people!
And that completes this ultimate Philippines barbecue inasal tour in Bacolod, one of the world’s greatest grilled chicken recipes!

Hi Mark wiens and family! We I and my family, we are fans! We watch your vlogs daily!
How is Mark so skinny? He eats so much!!
Hi Sir I'm always watching your vlogs
Do it mark! Like sonny did…
I just don't like the way they chop or sliced the chicken, its unhygienic staff is not wearing gloves while cutting or handling the chicken..,
Not for sensitive stomach.

@MarkWiens I've been watching Mark since 2017, I used to like his videos until I noticed, he seems to be enjoying every food he tries. All the food seems to be a 10 with the same yummy face he produce. I wonder, is he "FAKING" it? Now all his videos are boring coz it's so predictable! All food is a 10, he has no levels of delicious! Kinda like watching a scripted prank when u already know the outcome!
Even Sonny of Best Ever Food Review also noticed it. Here his video https://youtu.be/n37A3VZy0hw
