Tchayapan Beef Rice |
Tchayapan Restaurant, near the Bontoc municipal, is said to be Bontoc's biggest and best restaurant. Here, I ordered the restaurant's signature best seller Tchayapan Rice, Bontoc's version
of lechon kawali.
It is served with buttered fresh and crunchy
vegetables on the side. Jandy, on the other hand, preferred the Tchayapan Beef
Rice with the same sidings. Both cost PhP80.
For the same price, they also
offer beef ampalaya rice, chicken rice, sweet and sour pork rice, sweet and
sour pork/fish, pinapaitan, beef/pork steak, cheese burgers, pancit
canton/bihon and chopsuey. Chopsuey rice costs PhP70. They also offer
chicken spaghetti (PhP100), spaghetti (PhP40), sandwiches (ham and egg, ham and
cheese, tuna, PhP35; cheese, egg, PhP30).
Pinikpikan |
Tchayapan also offers budget
travelers 7 single/double rooms (PhP150/head)with common bath (2 male and
2 female) and 4 double bedrooms with private bath and
TV (PhP300-800).On our return to Banaue, Jocie, our tour coordinator,
tried out the local delicacy called pinikpikan. Here, the chicken is
bloodlessly killed by slowly pummeling its body with a stick or reed so that
the blood remains inside. After the feathers are singed off in an open fire,
the chicken is then chopped and boiled with dried salted pork called etag and
simmered with vegetables.
