For P204.00, Almon Marina will sell you a roast chicken with rice and 2 sidings of either (if I remember right), potato salad, veggies, mashed potatoes and.. err, something else. I went with the the veggies and mashed.

Amici’s Roast Chicken
Nearly everywhere I eat, I order the roast chicken if available. This is partly due to my diabetes, which disallows fatty and greasy foods, and partly because I’ve always felt roast chicken is a benchmark of whether the restaurant knows what it’s doing. It’s a universal dish as all cultures and nationalities have roast chicken in their menus, and so it is an appropriate ‘standard’ for rating restaurants IMHO.
It’s also a simple dish. It takes some time to bake, but otherwise all you need is chicken, some herbs, an oven and time. It’s hard to get simpler than that.
So I’ve come to make it a staple, and tried out several already. Today I’m going to review Amici’s.
Assad Cafe
Wife and I had dinner at Assad Cafe on a whim today, after I remembered a friend raving about ‘a great Indian resto front of Unilever’.
