Manuk Kiarehan is a type of curry prepared with chicken, coconut milk, chillies, coriander and curry powder then infused with salted black beans, a dish found in Davao thus curry has a lot of similarities with its Malaysian and Indonesian flavours. Unlike the usual Filipino sweet sour salty notes this dish is a bit more complex due to the spices used and the addition of fermented black beans.

It’s quite an interesting dish, a lot will mistake it for a non-Filipino dish due to its appearance and aroma. Tasty, spicy and delicious, definitely like most Pinoy dishes you need tons of rice.
