Jo's Chicken Inato - Sibulan — Restaurant in Sibulan

I knew of this restaurant the first time I went to Dumaguete in the late 1970s.,It was the restaurant in Silliman Avenue. And I have passed this Sibulan restaurant since being a regular annual visitor to Negros Oriental. And tonight, at about 7:00 pm was the first time I ate in Jo’s Chicken Inato. The Sibulan restaurant is big with ample guarded parking lot. Ordered chicken & was disappointed. Only Pecho was available, no paa. The grilled pecho was small, almost charred, dry and not delicious. They had no grilled or kilawin tanguigue, but had tinolang tanguigue. At least they had Coke Zero. Also Ordered sweet chili prawns & grilled prawns. So so. Maybe the expectation was too high? No, the food was really...
