- Inasal is a dish that originated from Bacolod City in central Philippines, characterized by its uniquely marinated and grilled chicken. The dish is made by marinating chicken in a special marinade that includes vinegar and soy sauce, then grilling it while covered with banana leaves, imparting a distinct flavor. Enjoying this Filipino cuisine in Taipei feels almost like traveling, but it's likely well-adapted to the local palate. In the Philippines, it is often eaten with white rice and is sometimes referred to as "kaldo" (chicken oil rice). Eating it with fairly salty bulalo soup while working up a good sweat might be the local way to savor it. Incidentally, the gourmet blogger writing this article sometimes sweats so much when eating Japanese ramen that it feels like they've taken a shower in ice water. That, too, is part of the culinary exploration!
