BBQ Chicken, Jupiter St. Makati

Sunday: This is the first delivery I was able to make via mobile phone.
The order is equivalent to a whole chicken -chopped and
you can choose 2 flavors.
so I ordered sweat chili chicken and Teriyaki Soybean.
It costs 650.00 pesos and is good for 4- 5 persons
.










I got this flyer when I visited their take out stand at Jupiter St.,
Makati last Saturday but I'm unable to take out any chicken since it's
only 930 when
I got there and they open at 10:00 am
.
