“This is a great leap forward for our brand. We are excited to be bringing the humble Chicken Inasal and share our love for Filipino food, to the global food hub of Southeast Asia. It marks a step towards our vision to be an international brand and represent our country abroad” said Joel Torre, a renowned Filipino actor and the company’s CEO.

Torre founded the chain in 2003 with his wife, Cristy, as a corner barbecue stall in Quezon City, Philippines. They currently operate 39 branches around the country.

Wong Ban Ming, Asian Food Mall managing director, said: “We are excited for the arrival of JT’s Manukan Grille to the vibrant and diverse food scene in Singapore. Together with Joel Torre, we look forward to satisfying the taste buds of the locals and the Filipino community here, bringing the authentic taste of Bacolod Chicken Inasal to the Lion City.”

The restaurant specializes in Filipino dishes, particularly the “inasal” or grilled chicken. This dish is widely believed to have originated in the Visayas Region, particularly in Bacolod City.
