Where you at? Why, at On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe of course...It's been years since I last visited this side of Manila yet one can't help but notice how things have changed, specifically the wide variety of dining options densely packed and concentrated along narrow streets running parallel to Taft Avenue. This was home during my college years from what seemed like an eternity ago, but that vibrant vibe from the different dining establishments continue to tease your appetite with its seemingly endless variety of options. The old familiar haunts may be gone and replaced by newer establishments, but the vibe remains exactly the way I remember it. You can say this has always been fertile ground for some cool and innovative culinary concepts. Amidst the clutter of signages and rows of establishments, it's easy to spot On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe. Just look for the arrow......and you're just moments away from a sumptuous fried chicken lunch and great coffee. The compact space is more than adequate for a much needed coffee break, but if your gang needs a much bigger dining area, no worries......On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe has a much larger space just a few steps down the hall. You'll soon find out that this unassuming hole in the wall has a lot of surprising secrets, including some eye-catching shadow play on the wall. Who doesn't have time for that mandatory selfie? Squeeze in that winning pose under perfect lighting thoughtfully installed for that money shot before a satisfying meal at On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe. The perfect selfie done, now it's time to settle down for a satisfying meal...But first, fresh brewed coffee to warm the palate. And On The Way House of Chicken and Cafe has just what you need. Like clockwork, the afternoon rains call for a hot freshly brewed libation to warm the palate and On The Way offers a wide selection of specialty brews like the sweet and creamy Cream of Eire Latte (P 99) with indulgent Irish cream and the robust flavorful depth of premium brewed coffee for that balanced finish. Each soothing sip drapes the palate with a lingering richness, setting the mood for a satisfying meal at On The Way. You can also opt to upgrade your Cream of Eire Latte with espresso and full cream milk (P 149) or with espresso, oat milk and selected toppings (P 219). On the Way offers a full repertoire of coffee-based creations from Blended expressions to refreshing aerated options from their Aerocano selection.  On The Way brings the same creativity to their signature boneless fried chicken, with thirteen innovative renditions from the Classic Original with Gravy to playfully inventive executions inspired by global flavors. On The Way perfected the execution of crisp and juicy fried chicken as their flavorful base and from there developed a full line of savory expressions reflecting Japanese, Chinese, Mexican, Italian, Korean, and American versions so you get to experience not only the comfortingly familiar but creative and even unexpected renditions all in one place. With prices starting at P 140 for the basic two-piece chicken with rice to P 189 (three pieces with rice) and P 345 for the Party option with six pieces good for 3-4, dining solo with the basic two and three piece options with rice is always a smart pick simplifying any lunch situation. The Irish Cream Whisky is On The Way's popular all-time bestseller, and one bite tells you why. That delectable crunch and juicy texture is immediately followed by the silky smooth and luscious finish of the signature Irish Cream Whisky for the perfect and savory finish. The play on textural contrasts and flavors makes the Irish Cream Whisky a good pick to get acquainted with On The Way's culinary offerings. It's juicy and crisp fried chicken done well, made even better with the indulgent layer of Irish Cream Whisky for a solid meal starting at P 140. The Canadian Golden Honey Butter is another tasty option with the signature crisp and juicy fried chicken draped in sweet honey butter. Perfectly crisp and juicy, the buttery richness and sweetness from the honey combine for another winning pick at On The Way. And all that for only P 140, you just can't beat that. Good food doesn't have to be complicated. It just needs to be done well at the right price point. And you get that and then some at On The Way. But wait, did you know that On The Way also has a Secret Menu? On The Way never runs out of surprises with even more inventive renditions anchored on their solid base of juicy and crisp fried chicken. And that calls for a second visit soon...But there's always time, and space for the decadent Mon Cheri Blanc Latte (P 229) from the Secret Menu. Think of it as dessert you can drink after a satisfying meal at On The Way. The lavish blend of espresso, cherry syrup and white chocolate with whipped cream is one indulgent number and the picture-perfect sweet ending to your flavorful detour this side of Manila. The menu can be overwhelming at first with its wide variety of tempting options, but the staff at On The Way can guide you through each item until you find that perfect pick to suit both your mood and craving. When the lunch time situation leaves you in a rut, simply pin that hidden spot along Leon Guinto and you're soon on your way to fried chicken goodness.
