Palm Grill - Review - Quezon City - Manila - The Infatuation

"Palm Grill is one of the few restaurants in Manila that serves food from the southern part of Mindanao, specifically the ZamBaSulTa (Zamboanga, Basilan, Sulu, and Tawi-Tawi) area—and they represent the region well with chef-ed up takes on home cooking. Standouts include the pianggang manok, or a curry-like braised chicken dish that has a slightly sweet, nutty flavor. Another is the tender tiyula itum, a beef stew similar to bulalo made rich and buttery by torched bone marrow. Both dishes get their dark color and smoky taste from burnt coconut meat. But if you want to try a little bit of everything, get the dulang (Mindanaoan banquet platter) tray of Tausug dish samplers." - Jasmine Ting
