Tornado Peri Peri Chicken Lipa

Courtyard of Big Ben Complex is a cozy strip for Lipeño entrepreneurs. It is located at the back of Big Ben and beautifully designed with bells, lights in the tree and lamp posts. It is also where Tornado Peri Peri Chicken opened.

Tornado Peri Peri Chicken in Lipa is the first branch outside Metro Manila & the newest addition to the growing number of restaurant lists for the foodies of Lipa and Batangas in general. Branches in Manila is co-owned by Arianne Bautista who is also an artist of GMA 7. Ms Arianne was present in the opening of its Lipa branch together with the Franchisees from Lipa who were hands-on with their guests and customers.

In their menu, you can choose from their baby back ribs, steaks, hamburgers and of course their specialty peri peri chicken which Ms Arianne said to be the cheapest and flavorsome peri peri chicken in the market. For the main dish, price range is between 125 - 300 pesos. Other than the spices used in marinating the chicken, Tornado has 3 variants of spicy sauces to choose from such as Original, Tiger's Fury, and Dragon's Breath.

We tried their specialty peri peri chicken and porterhouse steak with corncob and grilled pumpkin for the side dish. I haven't tried other peri peri chicken but this one is a must try and different from the usual fried or grilled chicken in restaurants or fast food chains. Their sauce makes their juicy chicken more flavorful. I also love their grilled pumpkin which is delicious in every bite. We will definitely go back in Tornado to taste their other dishes.
