Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken Grupo Feast: A Celebration For the Entire Family
Last Thursday, I had a delivery from Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken that truly made our weekend more enjoyable. We had always wanted to try out this Portuguese barbecue chicken restaurant before but this is just the first time we were able to do so. The weekend was coming up so we were delighted to find all their specialties, plus a few of their new signature items, all in one big Peri-Peri delivery. With over 40 branches around Mega Manila and counting, Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken & Sauce Bar is one of the fastest growing restaurants in the country today. Owned and managed by the Shakey’s group, this unique barbecue chicken is truly catching the taste buds of the Filipinos with its distinct aromas and flavorful spices.
The best way to introduce anyone to Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken is with the Peri Grupo Feast. This family set is good for up to four persons and comes with 1 Whole Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken (choice of Classic or Picante), 1 Chicken Tenders Salad, 1 Pasta to Share (choice of Carbonara or Chorizo Bolognese), 4 Regular Sides, 4 Java Rice, and 1 Drink (choice of Lime-ade or House Blend Iced Tea). Best of all, you can get all of these for only P999, a huge discount of P641 from its regular price. However, this promo is only available until June 30, 2021, so you better act quickly!
The Peri Grupo Feast starts with a healthy bowl of Chicken Tenders Salad. I’m not really that much into salads but if it comes with these juicy and crunchy pieces of chicken tenders, then I don’t mind having this for myself. This is a light and friendly appetizer that will prepare you for the more exciting dishes to come.
The set also comes with one Pasta to Share with a choice of Chorizo Bolognese or Carbonara. The pasta is also good enough for up to four persons so everyone can have their share. I liked the generous amounts of cheese on top of my spaghetti bolognese.
The main attraction of the Peri Grupo Feast is their signature Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken. This whole classic chicken is marinated overnight in a special concoction of peri-peri chili, herbs, and spices then charcoal grilled. It also includes four servings of java rice plus a medley of sauces to choose from.
The term “peri-peri” actually comes from an African bird’s eye chili called piri-piri which releases a fiery spice and helps create a wealth of flavors in every dish. Peri-Peri chicken traces its roots from Portuguese origins but this has been tweaked a little bit to satisfy the Filipino palate. It’s not as spicy and fiery as its original version, but you can customize your experience with a variety of their signature sauces.
Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken comes with eight signature sauces from mildly sweet and tangy, to wildly smokey, and to flaming spicy. You can mix and match each of the sauces to create your own flavor adventure.
The Peri Grupo Feast also comes with 4 regular side dishes. Ours included coleslaw, mashed potato, corn and carrots, plus baked mac and cheese. In addition, you also get one liter of Lime-Aid or House Blend Iced Tea.
The Peri Grupo Feast is available for dine-in, takeout or delivery through their hotline at 7374-7374 (PERI-PERI) or other delivery apps, but if you order using their website at www.periperichicken.ph, you can get FREE Mozzarella Sticks to go with your set. As another added bonus, Shakey’s SuperCard holders also get FREE 4 pieces Peri Natas.
If you want to make your family gatherings even more flavorful, try their newly-launched Peri-Peri Grilled Wings. These are not your ordinary fried chicken wings because they remain juicy, smokey, and tender after grilling. The wings are available in nine different Peri-Peri signature sauces so you will sure find your favorite.
The hot and crackling fire makes Peri-Peri’s new Grilled Wings explode with deliciousness! You can create your own Flavor Adventure ranging from mild, hot, to extra hot chicken wings that are not only charcoal-grilled but seasoned in Peri-Peri’s signature mix.
Choose from 9 different flavors for your Grilled Wings. If you fancy a sweet blend of Asian flavors, try the Special Blend Asian BBQ with that slightly sweet flavor we enjoy. You can also try the Sweet Soy, Hoisin Sesame, Sweet BBQ, or the distinct Mesquite BBQ sauce for that smokey taste with a boost of chili.
Tour your tastebuds to South America with the creamy, tart and subtly-spicy Cajun Remoulade, a very interesting mayonnaise-based sauce.
If you like it spicy, they also have the Chili Peppa, a flavorful hot sauce with the citrus goodness of fresh lemons. On the other hand, if you want a good balance of spiciness, go for the Garlic Brew and Harissa Exotica sauces.
You can enjoy Peri-Peri’s Grilled Wings either Solo at P249 (6 pcs, 1 flavor), Duo at P399 (10 pcs, 2 flavors), or To Share at P599 (16 pcs, 4 flavors). These are also great to munch on while chilling at home while watching Netflix.
Together with our orders from Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken, we also got to try some new variants from R&B Tea. R&B Tea is a milk tea brand from Singapore that seeks to redefine the tea experience today. We often indulge in very sweet and rich milk teas, so R&B’s fresh fruits and all-natural components is a healthy change of pace. R&B places great emphasis on the origins of the tea leaves and delicate preparation to ensure the perfect tea blend.
I tried the Peach Oolong Macchiato Tea, a light and fruity oolong tea infused with peaches topped with a thick later of cheese cream. This is a great beverage to have on a hot and tiring day. The Black Tea Macchiato has a more bold flavor with its black tea capped with cream cheese.
Their new Premium Brewed Tea Series comes with refreshing, bold and robust tea flavors which can be paired with their signature brown sugar pearls. There’s a choice of Black Tea, Jasmine Green Tea or Peach Oolong. You can order R&B Tea at most Shakey’s and Peri-Peri Charcoal Chicken branches nationwide, but you can also call for delivery using their hotlines 7777-7777 (Shakey’s) and 7374-7374 (Peri-Peri). Ordering online is another option at www.rbtea.ph and you can also get them using food delivery apps such as GrabFood, Pick.A.Roo and FoodPanda. Now you understand why we had such a great weekend. Enjoy your Peri-Peri and R&B Tea deliveries!
