The House of Chicken Piri-Piri in Kapitolyo

While walking in Kapitolyo, Pasig after attending the Mass, me and my friends got hungry. We were overwhelmed by the restaurants in the place we cannot decide where to go. Then we saw this small restaurant which looks cozy so we stepped in and the aroma of the chicken made me hungrier.

Gostoso is the restaurant in Kapitolyo, Pasig that offers Chicken Piri-Piri. Their dish is Portuguese which is less popularly kno

wn in our cuisine. The place is just perfect for those people who would want to experience the cuisine of Portugal.

Of course, our main dish is their Chicken Piri-Piri. I’m a chicken lover so I’m very meticulous when it comes to chicken. Their serving is quite generous and the chicken which is good for two persons can be shared up to three persons if you don’t have a large appetite. The chicken is so tender that you can easily pull the meat. You’ll love it more once you get a taste of the chicken. It was so delicious and it was not dry.

Gostoso offers two sauces to perfectly match their chicken. The first sauce is called Mild Piri-Piri which is a bright red tomato sauce that is not spicy. The name of the other sauce came from its creator, Chef Joao, is called Joao’s Piri-Piri and is filled with chili seeds. Joao’s Piri-Piri spicy sauce has been toned down unlike those in Portugal but it has just the right kick to put you all red. You may mix the two sauces to get your right amount of spice.

Aside from the chicken, we also ordered their Coxinha which are breaded balls with cream, chicken strips and bell pepper in the inside. Another thing, you’ll love is their olive rice which is also very flavorful. Unfortunately, I have to watch my sugar level so I just only ate half of my rice serving.

Well, our trip to Kapitolyo, Pasig was again very worthwhile aside from fulfilling our Christian obligation it has again filled our tummies.
