Grill Bombay Chicken at Manila Place
Mar 9th, 2009 by Nicholas Chan
Manila Place is not in Philiphines but in Gurney Plaza Penang. It’s also not a restaurant that serves Filipino’s food but a combination of local of western cuisine. So, it’s more likely a beautiful restaurant/cafe with a variety of food in the menu.
A few weekends ago, my friend invited for a dinner at Manila Place. In fact, it’s my first time having a meal there. The previous was just buying a beverage takeaway and another visit was an afternoon tea without eating, but looking at what my friend ate. Which means, this was my official first time eating out at Manila Place.
After looking through the menu, it didn’t give me a “reasonable price” feeling. There’s a set dinner menu and I picked the chicken set, which then I got to choose from a list of chicken meal in the menu but not Chicken Gordon Blue. My friend who had worked there as a part-timer before introduced me to this Grilled Bombay Chicken, I ordered it.
The set came with a starter of mushroom soup, bread and butter, and 2 pieces or fried wan tan.
The main course is the Grilled Bombay Chicken. Looked pretty in photo. After putting it in my mouth, the gravy tasted like the dalcha sauce which is use in some Malay/Indian food, it’s just it’s not spicy but sweet. No wonder it’s called the Bombay Chicken.
In my 2 cents, it’s me, myself that don’t really like this dish, it’s a good one, but it’s just not my favourite.
After main course, a very small cup of ice cream will be served and that’s the set dinner consisted of.
Manila Place is located at the alfresco area of Gurney Plaza.
