Food Trip: ESPETADA (House of the Hanging Chicken) at Obrero, Davao City
Last Saturday, my sister, Kezia, Mark and I decided to eat at Espetada after Mark's training. We discovered ESPETADA - House of the Hanging Chicken when it was featured in one of the episodes of KAPUSO MO, JESSICA SOHO in GMA. Mark and I immediately included it on our list of restaurants to try. We were, however, quite curious with this one so we allowed it to overtake the other restaurants that came first on our list. Haha!
Just to give you a brief description of what an ESPETADA is, an ESPETADA is a Portuguese dish usually made of large beef chunks rubbed in garlic and salt, skewered (barbecued) onto sticks and then cooked over hot coals. The one here in Davao made a little deviation and used chicken instead.
Did I like it? YES! Am I coming back? YES! Would I recommend it to others? That's why I'm blogging it. I definitely recommend this place. Now just take note that the place isn't airconditioned and it is quite small but I guarantee that it is definitely worth it. Food? EXCELLENT! Loved the foodie experience here.

THE FOOD
 |
| Appetizer: The staff suggested we try their appetizer called Cheesy Cheesy - Php 70 - Good thing we did! Aside from cheese, it had sort of garlic and cream flave in it. It was yummy and one order was good for 2 to 3 people |
 |
| This is what my sister ordered: Beef Kebab (2 pieces) - Php 75. I also took a bite and it was pretty good as well. |
 |
| The rice has butter on top of it to add flavor to the whole meal. |
AND OF COURSE... DRUM ROLL PLSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS.....
 |
| CHICKEN ESPETADAAAHHHHHH |
 |
| THE CHICKEN ESPETADA (Php 100) comes with rice already - this can be ordered spicy or just regular. Ours was spicy and boy was it GOOD!!!! Also had a few sides on the plate like potatoes, corn, carrots, etc... to add oomph to the meal. |
