There is also Andok's known for their Lechon Manok or Rotisserie Chicken. I love how the meat just falls off the bones besides the flavor.
I hope this is what you meant in the title of this thread. If you mean food here in South Florida where the original is from a foreign country, I have found the regulations of adding the hormones to the food we eat has changed the way food tastes here besides making it less (not more) healthy.

I still have to taste/eat a good crispy pata outside of SE Asia. North American pigs is just too fatty between the skin and the flesh and the flesh is too soft and fall apart instead of something you can sink your jaw into!
I discover Andok during my first consulting gig in Makati back in 2002. They were almost next door to the service apartment I was at. I walk out the front door of the apartment building and followed my nose.
