Chicken with Rice and Butter Onions   September 28, 2023 Go to recipe, comments   Over the past few years, especially during the long months of 2020, we've been indulging in variations of "chicken rice." It's a dish of chicken and rice simmered together in a flavorful broth, and when eaten together, it feels most cozy and comforting.

Because there is always high tide and no low tide, only the upper part of the island is visible. People are also afraid to go to the island because the old people tell their children folk tales about Aswang, Maligno and evil spirits living on the island.
