Baliwag or Andok's Grilled Chicken? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines1 month ago

For the benefit of my International friends, Baliwag and Andoks are the two most popular sellers of Charcoal-Grilled Chicken in the Philippines.

I personally prefer "Andoks" chicken because the taste goes from skin to the bones. I love it especially together with the sauce!! So yummy!! As compared to Baliwag's chicken, they're sauce is much more preferable for me. But the chicken is not too tasty (the skin tastes good though).

To Filipino mylotters here, which do you prefer, Andoks or Baliwag? or if it's not available in your area, what is the most preferable for you?

Love the smell of the Andoks lechon manok. Whenever your in the jeep or a bus, you can smell that its andoks with the smell. Very excellent for pulutan too. And is always available just around any corner.


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Actually Andok's is just less than 3 minutes away from our place! I even sometimes eat it without rice!! w00t


myLot reputation of 88/100. Fulltank (975)   ranked 319 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

yeah, well known here in Phils. And their especial liempo, yum, yum. Have buy andoks once a week for my pasalubong.


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Oh I love their liempo! Hehe it's so tempting to buy it everytime!


myLot reputation of 88/100. Fulltank (975)   ranked 319 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

nice pulutan too. very tasty yet full of cholesterol. lol. the bad ones are always the tastiest.

We don't have those here in the States but I like the chickens from Meijer's, a mass merchandiser that has a deli. They actually cost the same or less than a raw chicken and I try to go when they've marked them down so I get them for about $3! The flavor goes clear through the chicken and it's more tender and juicy than I can make them at home. One chicken will feed me for a week!


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Interesting, Baliwag and Andoks are actually very costly here in the Philippines but it's worth it though. I'd love to have a taste of that chicken your talking about...Haha maybe when I visit the US someday. thumbup

there are a lot of andoks here more than baliwag. so since its is accessible we buy more of andoks than of baliwag. but there is much nearer at our house its a no name ihaw ihaw so we buy that more than we buy andoks. andoks this days are pricey than the no name chickens though of course on taste its andoks than those no brands. back to the discussion i go for andoks, than baliwag. for the taste. andoks taste better than baliwags.


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Yeah I think the price went up again recently sad. Have you heard of Sr. Pedro? We have that as well, it's much cheaper but the taste is no match to andok's chicken.

I have never tasted either of them. Andoks is available here in Cebu but Baliwag's isn't. Anyway, what's popular here in Cebu when it comes to grilled chicken is Sr. Pedro. It's also my favorite from all other grilled chicken. It really taste different from others. It has been the preferred chicken by local folks here and in fact, roughly speaking, more than 85% of Cebuanos choose Sr. Pedro over others.


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

We also have Sr. Pedro here in our area. It's much cheaper than Andoks actually. I like their chicken but I still like Andok's over it. If we have budget constraints, then we buy Sr. Pedro. thumbup


myLot reputation of 88/100. Fulltank (975)   ranked 319 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Sr. Pedro's way of grilling the chicken is different from Andoks. The taste is good also but still nothing beats Andoks.


myLot reputation of 97/100. boybato (437)   ranked 257 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Wow! Are you both from Cebu? If not, then I really thought that Sr. Pedro is only available here in Cebu. That would be great if they're already branching out the Cebu province. I've got to agree, Andok's is a little more pricey but I still have to try their grilled chicken. If it's better than Sr. Pedro, it's really worth the try.


myLot reputation of 87/100. kryptoscode (244)   ranked 2,004 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Yeah here in Cebu we really love Snr. Pedro's chicken than Andok's chicken. What I don't like about Andok's chicken is that it is dry not juicy as Snr. Pedro's chicken. But it really depends on the place in here we love our own.


ryesether (32)   ranked 3,874 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Yeah. I like Sr. San Pedro too. It has a branch near our place months ago but we moved out and the only accessible now is Andoks. The taste of Sr. San Pedro is what you call like " sarap to the bones!"


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

@boybato, no I'm not from Cebu but Sr. Pedro has expanded all the way here in Rizal and in Manila too! thumbup


myLot reputation of 97/100. boybato (437)   ranked 257 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Wow! Great to hear that. Sr. Pedro is really doing quite well but I wonder if their chicken there tastes as good here in Cebu. I would presume that it's a lot better here since it's owned by a Cebuano. Oh, by the way, though I haven't tried eating much of Andok's chicken, I can say that I love their gravy. Or maybe it's just me, I really love gravy.

I guess it's andok's for since it's the most accessible and I have't tried Baliwag yet. Cheers!


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

Baliwag's liver is better than Andok's though but compared to Andok's you can still eat it without the sauce thumbup


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

I mean liver "sauce"...sorry...

It's OK, my wife even used to say " Miss, pahinging sows!". Cheers!

we have 'Kenny Roger's Roasters' and 'Nando's chicken'...
most of the family members would choose Kenny Roasters because the set menu comes with a their famous, yummy muffins.. i luv them, too.. but i think the chickens at Nando's because i luv the sauce they serve with the chicken.. nowadays, Nando's has even started to sell the sauces to customers.. just like Kenny Roasters are selling their muffins separately...


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

I believe Kenny Roger's is popular for roasted chicken. Yummy!! My brother in law used to work there. As for Nando's chicken I haven't heard of it yet.

I prefer Baliwag as their sauce is much more tasty and it is in the sauce which really gives the roast chicken its taste. but i have to admit that there's little difference and I don't mind eating Andoks if there's no Baliwag around


myLot reputation of 93/100. yuna15 (1122)   ranked 55 out of 4,225 in philippines  1 month ago

I agree their sauce is more tasty...I wonder how they make it.. happy

I haven't tasted Baliwag's yet so I choose Andok's. Andoks chicken is tasty and I like the skin part as well as the sauce. Its really yummy. Have you guys tried Sr. San Pedro yet? I think it tastes well too even without the sauce. I prefer Sr. San Pedro's grilled chicken if there's no Andoks. My friend says that grilled liempo in Andoks tastes yummy too. I might try it one of these days.

Hi yuna. Just like boybato had mentioned in his response, i live in cebu and i still don't have a chance to taste baliwag and can't give comparison, but sr. pedro is most preferred by people here. Talking about andok's, if i am not mistaken, they are in business here for not so long so people much used to sr. pedro. But i also like andok's.
