Jo's Chicken Inato at Silliman Avenue (03-Sep-2008)

Harold had invited Bee and I to Reggae Wednesday Night at Hayahay Restaurant. Bee was coughing bad and didn't feel like stepping out.

Around 9PM, I decided to call Jon and consult him regarding Bee's non-stop coughing. By a series of questions over the phone, Jon decided Bee had bronchitis and recommended that we buy Tuseran which will address both her cold and incessant coughing, therefore allowing her a good sleep. As usual, Bee was self-medicating and had been trying out different medicines - changing medicines if one doesn't work. She said she would eventually move on to trying Tuseran even if Jon hadn't recommended it. He he he.

We stepped out of Harold's Mansion in order to buy the medicine from a pharmacy. Since we were already out, we also decided to eat out.

Jo's was closing down when we got off the tricycle, but the staff were accomodating enough to let inside. Only the grilled chicken (or barbecue) was still available from the menu, which was okay since Jo's is actually known for the chicken barbecue.

We were led to the second floor where we ate at the open-air terrace. We would have liked to eat at the closed off area but they already shut down the air-conditioning.

The chicken bbq is meant to be eaten by hand, which is why Jo's had washstands on opposite sides of the room. They only have detergent soap though.

If you want to eat using a spoon and fork, just request a pair from the waiter/waitress.

This is a live chicken. I wonder what it would think if it found out what the restaurant is famous for.

The chicken was indeed delicious, and that's largely due to the marinade they use. After we finished eating, washed our hands and paid our bill, the staff showed us out through a side door. The main doors of the restaurant were already closed.

Apparently, that particular restaurant in Dumaguete City is the original, or first, Jo's restaurant. The Jo's in Cebu is just a branch.
