Take me to an ice cream shop, I 'll point to you my favorite flavors. Not just one, not just two, but more, depending on my mood that day. Just so you know, I can 't scrap off my staple love for green tea. Haha! Pull me to the next shop, let 's say a Japanese restaurant, I 'll point out to you my favorite cold plates other than salmon sashimi. Now if you take me to chicken houses, I think I 'd say I want to try them all.  The tandem of chicken and rice is obviously well-loved in our country. As Filipinos, we can live eating chicken and rice. In fact, it 's a treat for us! If you ask me, my tummy will not refuse any offer to visit a new chicken house. Not for me. I won 't chicken out for any chicken in town. Zabo Chicken, one of the newest chicken houses in the metro, bravely launched their branch in Makati early this year 2014. Knowing the market reacts easily to chicken, their main attraction in this restaurant is no other than chicken, and of course, rice. Zabo makes a name for itself for serving Mediterranean-inspired roasted chicken that 's fast, fresh, healthy but not labeled under the category of fast food.   How else should I start my meal at Zabo? Definitely the original Zabo Chicken tops my first bite at Zabo. A plate of Zabo chicken comes in with 1 cup of Zabo 's signature rice. First impression was, meh, looks like an ordinary roasted chicken. Although, that was just a tiny thought in my head. My judgment of ordinary turned my upside down when I tasted the difference from other spiced chicken dishes I 've tried.  18 spices in that roasted chicken jumped around my taste buds. The garlic flavor was immensely strong, which scared my breath turning into a halitosis mouth for a while. Call it comfort food because it is. When you get a plate of Zabo Chicken, you won 't mind about the science and preparation anymore as it gives you that sense of enjoyment with your chicken and rice. Truly comforting with that Mediterranean zest! I just advice you to bring a handy-dandy mouthwash or mints with you. I tell you, the spices stick like a glue to your breath. Hahaha!  Fact: Zabo Chicken is spiced with turmeric, which helps lower cholesterol level and maintain a healthy heart.  It 's your call to add more spices and flavors to that 18-spiced roasted chicken through their sauces. Chicken gravy, sweet chili, garlic paste, chili oil or sweet sauce, all up to you. I killed my breath that night. Together with O, we partied with spices as we chose the garlic sauce to bomb our Zabo chicken. What I think you 'll love about Zabo is their Rice Buffet! Add P29 to your rice meal for a filling unlimited rice of 6 different flavors. Pinoys can 't deny the relationship with rice. More rice for a more satisfying meal.

I tried their zabo chicken and I was pleasantly surprised. I didn't expect it to be that good because I thought it would be at par with other fast food restaurants. I like that the dishes taste Mediterranean but for an affordable cost. Wouldn't mind eating here again. :
