The Tatler Dining Guide Philippines
Kettle
WHY GO
Kettle’s buttermilk fried chicken— cheekily referred to as “BFC”—has always been its biggest draw since it opened the doors of its first branch in Ortigas. Its BGC outpost at SM Aura has kept this up, offering the signature fowl as plates for solo diners and grand platters for sharing with a crowd.
TATLER TIPS
• What’s your spice level? Kettle’s BFC comes in original and spicy, and there’s even a nori-spackled version for those who want a touch of umami with their bird.
• Chicken isn’t your thing? The pork pot roast is a savoury alternative, as are the honey tamarind pork ribs with their oriental-inspired sweet and sour flavours;
• There are a number of classic desserts on the menu, but those wanting a healthier end to the meal can opt from a selection of fresh fruit shakes that are blended to order.
