Lemon Buttered Chicken

This is Chinese restaurant inspired dish. A local restaurant in our area sell this for P100/half chicken and it doesn't taste anything like the Chinese restaurants are famous for. It's bland and it's hard as a rock after only a few minutes. The best one is made by Boy Ching Woo, also here in Caloocan. They are also famous for their noodles and other entrées. I didn't know at first that buttered chicken actually originated from India. It's loaded with spices and herbs. I haven't actually tried it myself but I will sure do!
