Palm Grill - Quezon City

Palm Grill is relatively one of the new restaurants in Tomas Morato. Their food has Indo-Malay influences as one of the owners was born in Jolo, Sulu. Yannie and Miguel welcomed me during their Bloggers Day on May 3. I was scheduled at 3pm with Ilovetoeatph AlwaysHungry.ph and FOOD IS LIFE PH. Miguel told us that Palm Grill is actually a chicken restaurant, but they have now expanded their menu to have other items such as seafood and beef. It's interesting to know that most of their best-sellers are family recipes. Therefore, expect good and awesome home-cooked meals. Or at least the taste and feel of it. We were served Vita Coco and unlimited coffee while waiting for other bloggers to arrive. When we he group was finally completed, we were served the following. ** Green Chicken This delicious dish is a recipe from Miguel's mother. The chicken meat is cooked for 1hr and 30min in coconut milk and 7 Asian spices. It's then grilled for the charred taste. It's safe to say that this is my favorite dish in Palm Grill. This is packed with flavors. I'm so curious to know each of the 7 secret Asian spices as their combination is just perfect. I love the tenderness of the meat. Lastly, the turmeric rice in this dish is heavenly. It's the perfect pair for this dish. ** Chicken Satti Soup This spicy thick soup with riceballs and grilled chicken was legit AF. It's a bit spicy but I liked it. We were informed that this is a Mindanaoan dish, and I'm happy that they brought this good dish in Manila. ** Pinoy Sliders Chicken patties in pandesal. Though I liked the patties, it would have been better if the pandesal buns were toasted. The pesto pasta on the side can be improved as well. ** Oswalda's Fried This is named after the owner's grandma. It's a different take on fried chicken. It tastes like homemade fried chicken, and it works for me. Yipee. The restaurant has OOTD wall where you can have your group photos taken. Such a nice concept. The second floor, I think, can also be used for functions or gatherings. Thank you Palm Grill and EJ for the invite!

The restaurant had a cool ambiance but i am sorry to say that i was disappointed with the food that we ordered. We had The Green Chicken, Oswalda's Fried and Olympus Roast but i will never come back for any of the 3 dishes. There was nothing special for me.

Chicken is a common thing in any cuisine so when I was invited to attend Palm Grill grand launch I was expecting too much but was again surprised with amazing flavor they gave on their chicken dishes. Palm Grill is located at Tomas Morato just across Book and Borders cafe. One of the owner of this place is Nelson Canlas of GMA News Team. Their dishes are heritage family recipe of his partner Miggy. Their dish boast what filipino flavor has more to offer. Here are the list of dish we got to try. ????The Green Chicken - Their signature dish. Don't confuse it to being organic like me haha. This was called Green chicken because of the green texture of the spices they used on the chicken. This is amazingly good. It was like a cross over of Laing and Chicken. Surprisingly as per miggy they didn't use and leafy thing on the spices to make it green. I highly recommend this chicken and it was my fave! ????Chicken Satti - this is a famous zamboanga spicy chicken dish. I was happy that they brought this dish here in manila because it was spicy good. BBQ Chicken wing on a spicy soup that comes with two sticky rice ball. I love the mixture of the smokey bbq and spicy flavor while having a hint of sweetness in it. So proud of this filipino dish! We should have more of this kind of this dishes that originate in the province! ????Pinoy Slider - Pandesal chicken burger. Another nice twist to a chicken burger. Big serving and love the chicken patty it was tender. ????Oswaldas Fried - Their version of fried chicken. It was good but for me it was the typical filipino fried chicken. ????Fish and chips - this one was not too impressive a bit soggy. Overall I highly recommend people to try the green chicken and chicken satti. They also got some other interesting chicken like the labuyo. Wow another spicy dish. Definitely will visit for more of those chicken! Kudos also to Sinon the King of Catwalk that made it more of a fun fun event!!!

I've always wanted to visit this place ever since it opened this month. I'm so glad that I finally had the chance to check out this new kid on the block, and boy, I wasn't disappointed.  First off, the place is spacious and well-lit. The place is clean and the interior design minimalistic.  Service was also good. The staff were attentive and prompt with their service.  The food, well, it literally made me smile on the first bite.  I was planning on being cheap and order the lunch special, but I decided that since this is my first time visiting Palm Grill I should splurge a little.  I ordered one of their best-sellers, The Green Chicken, I congratulate myself for making the right decision. I had the solo plate which included rice and a choice of side dish. I upgraded my plain rice to Turmeric rice for just 20 pesos and chose the Roasted Potato. I added a glass of Watermelon shake to wash it all down and cool me off since it was scorching hot outside. Service takes about 15-20 minutes, but since there wasn't a lot of customers during my visit, I got my food after a few minutes.  When my food was served I was surprised to see how it looked. It did look a little blackish-green, but since I just couldn't wait to have a taste of it I dug in right away. As I've said, the first bite made me smile. I just couldn't put my spoon and fork down. I just kept on chowing down until I realized I finished my food faster than it took for them to serve it. The only down side of my experience was that the serving of the rice was a bit little for my appetite. The chicken also has a tendency to be a little dry. As for the price, its kind of pricey, but hey, its food. I'd rather spend a little bit more on something that will fill my bottomless-pit of a tummy than splurge on something that won't fill me.  My final verdict: Lunch at Palm Grill again tomorrow, anyone? ;) P.S. I wasn't able to take a photo of the Roasted Potato. Low EQ. :p
