Chicken Inasal in Singapore!
Late post but I’m still thinking about this Chicken Inasal by Chef Nico Millanes at Raffles Courtyard!
The smoky char on the chicken, the juicy meat, the rich garlicky rice and that unmistakable Filipino grilled flavour combo.
Every bite had that ihaw char while still feeling elevated and refined.
Having recently visited Raffles Courtyard to try Chef Nico Millanes' rendition of Chicken Inasal, I was truly impressed by the authentic taste that transported me back to the Philippines. Chicken Inasal is a beloved Filipino grilled chicken dish known for its distinct smoky char and a marinade that combines garlic, vinegar, and local spices. What sets this experience apart is how the chicken maintained its juiciness and richness, avoiding the dryness that often plagues grilled dishes. The garlicky rice served alongside was a fantastic complement, absorbing the smoky flavors from the chicken while adding its own aromatic appeal. It reminded me of the traditional "sinangag" or garlic fried rice, a staple pairing in Filipino cuisine. The careful balance of flavors and textures elevated the dish beyond just street food, making it a memorable culinary experience. Chef Nico’s approach shows a respect for heritage while delivering an elevated dining experience at a prime Singapore location. If you're a fan of smoky grilled meats or Filipino cuisine in general, this Chicken Inasal offering at Raffles Courtyard is truly worth a visit. Keep an eye out as the menu featuring this authentic Chicken Inasal is available from 20 to 26 April 2026, making it a limited-time opportunity to savor this delicious dish. Don't miss out on this fusion of traditional flavors with a refined twist right here in Singapore!
