1st Colonial Grill

Bicol


This chain grill place has found a new home in the Pacific Mall (and other mall locations around town). It feels a little impersonal but still serves up good Bicolano dishes such as tinapa rice (rice with smoked fish flakes and green mango) and five-spiced chicken, and is famous for its unusual ice-cream flavours, such as sili (chili) and pili nut.
