Molave: Greaseless Chicken At Its Best

Hubby here, tag-teaming with my wife for posting in DavaoBase. Moving on…

Here in Davao, greaseless chicken is usually associated with one landmark destination: Molave Restaurant.

As the prime example of a classy Filipino restaurant back in the day, Molave was well-known for serving signature Filipino dishes and catering to various family gatherings and celebrations. I remember attending countless wedding receptions in Molave when I was a kid, and even up to early 2000.

My first memory of Molave was tasting the greaseless chicken for the first time. I thought to myself, “this is delicious!” (of course, what you hear from me is “munch, munch, munch…”).

What struck me next is its Filipino-style setting, especially its Matina branch. When I see the facade, I always remember Spanish-era Philippine houses, where everything is made of wood. After all, the term “molave” is the name of a popular hardwood in the country.

At present, Molave Restaurant continues to serve great food along Jacinto Street, and it’s nestled right beside Ateneo de Davao University.

I guess it’s high time to revisit Molave, and rediscover the juicy memories of their famous greaseless chicken.

  1. While I have having some fish fingers for dinner, I can only imagine how succulent those chicken wings are. 😛 lol!

  2. Yeah, they really are delicious. What you see in the picture, though, is half of a chicken, not just wings. 😉

    It might look small, but its taste really packs a punch!
