From the streets of Cuadra to a new chapter in our journey. โค๏ธ๐ฅ
We are truly grateful to see and hear the story of our beloved Nanay Nena also known as Antonena Velez Bolonia and the legacy she started continue to live on.
What began with a simple grill, a beloved recipe, and a dream has grown through generationsโcarried forward with the same passion, dedication, and love for authentic Bacolodnon inasal.
We are honored to be part of this story and grateful to everyone who continues to support and appreciate the legacy.
To Nanay Nena, we hope weโre making you proud up there. ๐ฅนโค๏ธ
The legacy lives on. The grill keeps burning. ๐ฅ

THE LOCATION OF THE ORIGINAL INASALAN SANG MANOK SA BACOLOD! ๐ฅ
๐ Cuadra St., Bacolod City
Historical accounts identify the Velez family, including sisters Elisa Velez-Garrucho and Nena Velez, among the pioneering vendors who helped popularize inasal in the area. Their grilled chicken attracted customers because Cuadra Street was close to the plaza, cinema, and jeepney stops.
As the number of vendors and customers grew, the stalls were eventually relocated to the reclamation area, giving rise to what became known as Manokan Country. The move transformed a collection of roadside grills into one of Bacolod's most recognizable culinary destinations.
