I was browsing through old photos yesterday when I saw this folder containing photos when we had a lunch stopover at JT’s Manukan Grille in Tagaytay. I think this was on the way home coming from Stilts in Calatagan, Batangas.
I’ve been to Tagaytay many times and has passed by this restaurant a lot of those times too but I never really got the chance to eat here.
JT’s Manukan Grille is owned by notable actor Mr. Joel Torre (who I adored as Tatang in OTJ, BTW). Framed posters of movies in which he starred in are posted on the wall.
The restaurant is simple and straightforward. They serve Chicken Inasal. Seats are made of wood.
We arrived there on a tuesday, just right after lunch. Just as expected there weren’t a lot of customers. Two or three sets of families occupy a couple of tables inside.
We ordered stuffed squid on a stick, baticulon (chicken gizzard), and corazon (heart).
We also ordered Chicken Inasal pieces which I think was Pecho and Paa for each of us.
Plus Adobong Kangkong as a vegetable side dish.
It was a fine lunch, our hungers were satisfied.
We even bonded over wacky photos while waiting for our food to be served…
We left the place full and with smiles on our faces.
Your kids are a riot! Runway models in the making. I love your peeks into your life waaaaaaaaay over there. Thank you
for sharing.
Thanks Carol. I’m so glad you like this post.
Masarap talaga ang inihaw lalo na sa uling, here charcoal is more expensive than the meat so we normally use gas barbecue grills
True! Iba ang lasa kapag ihaw sa uling.
I miss going to this place. food is always yummy!
Yeah, they have a branch here naman in Manila.
Lol I love your wacky photos! I got to try JT’s Manukan in Gilmore before. Super yum. I love inasal.
Thanks Patty!
Hooray for the Purple Team! Is it hard to locate this restaurant in Tagaytay? Can you give some directions on how to go?
Uhoh… I’m not good at giving directions. I got to this restaurant when we came from Batangas, so I think it’s on the tagaytay-nasugbu highway.
I have tried JT’s but the one in McKinley and I like their grilled food and their bulalo.
I haven’t tried their Bulalo. Will try it next time.
Food looks delicious and looking in these foods makes me feel hungry, I want to eat them all!
They are delicious, Joren
I got hungry just looking at your photos.. Natawa ako kay Rome… hehhehehe
heheheh…
