They are also tasty and I don't know what else to say about this, I'm totally speechless. Their sauce suits pretty well with this two which it gives more flavor.  Seems like everything is on my plate. The fried chicken is worth to taste..

A Páter is a popular dish in Marawi City, Philippines mostly in Muslim areas. It consist of Yellow rice and a spicy meat, either beef or chicken, mixed with spices and grated coconut.
