You can do away with the usual fast-food fried chicken meal if you’re dining out on a budget. Cavana, a restaurant that specializes in chicken dishes, is a great alternative. You’ll find an array of not just chicken meal but other tasty dishes, too. You’re sure to find something that will suit your taste and within your budget.
Here in the Philippines, Cavana is located at SM Megamall (near Powerbooks). It’s a neat cozy place, with a color scheme that is relaxing; not too fancy to be intimidating. We’ve tried two of their chicken rice meals (hmm… reminds me of the Singaporean film Chicken Rice War — a truly enjoyable rom-com movie 
): the honey grilled chicken rice and hainanese chicken rice.
A plate of Honey Grilled Chicken Rice — boneless chicken, grilled and glazed with honey; served with rice (of course) topped with crispy garlic, coleslaw and two kinds of sauces or sawsawan (soy sauce and chili sauce).
Sumptuous Hainanese Chicken Rice — tender boneless boiled chicken topped with sautéed carrots and cucumber strips; served wit rice (dapat! ), soup, and three kinds of sauces or sawsawan (soy sauce, chili sauce and pounded ginger). The ginger really makes the difference. 
Personally, I’m curious to know how this dish is prepared. If you have the recipe, share it with me, please.
