KA INATO, PUERTO PRINCESA CITY, PALAWAN

For those who love grilled dishes, one of the leading restaurants in Puerto Princesa City that serve nice grilled chicken is the Ka Inato Restaurant located along the northbound national highway in Bgy. Tiniguiban. It is about 4 kilometers from the city center and can be reached by public transport going to Bgy. San Jose. It has  bright and airy interiors with a resort-like ambiance, accentuated by colorful wooden sculptures executed by native palawan artisans-- a perfect setting for a grilled chicken dish.

I have been to many restaurants in the city that serve grilled chicken and, true enough, Ka Inato's version of the grilled chicken was such a delight when I went there with my family recently. But I wanted to be surprised, I wanted something different that day. So I carefully scanned their menu for something that looked unfamiliar. It was their "Sinuglaw" that caught my attention.

The dish was something new for me, at least. After all, I discovered that "Sinuglaw" was sinugbang baboy (grilled pork) mixed with kinilaw na isda (fish soaked in vinegar until it turned opaque and had the sensation of being cooked). Both dishes have their own individual appeal and I thought it was sort of contradictory to mix sinugba with kinilaw. Yet, I found it had a pleasant taste all its own . Needless to say, I consumed the whole thing in no time.

Living outside Puerto Princesa city can be a real blessing. Every trip to the city becomes an adventure, every mealtime a hunt for a dish that's something different that, occasionally, turns out to be a pleasant surprise just waiting to unfold.
