Bubba and I have frequented B&T quite a number of times and although we are hooked in ordering our usual favorites, I deviated a bit and got something that I have never tried before. What was on my plate this time was an order of B&T’s Chicken Mole.
READ MORE:
Mole is known to be a famous Mexican Spanish mixture of sauces where the combination of a variety of chilies and chocolate is predominant among the other numerous spices it’s mingled with. Chicken Mole is traditionally chicken, more often deboned, covered in the “mole” mixture and baked until it’s done.
B&T’s Chicken Mole Meal PHP 320
Chicken was tenderly cooked and coated copiously with this dark brown “mole” sauce that has a burst of different flavors, from sweet to spicy to piquant. Complex flavors with a tad hint of chocolate. The medium thick sauce can get overwhelming that’s why it’s good to pair it with rice. Mine was served with brown rice but my friend Richard had it with cilantro lime rice when he visited B&T. I think the cilantro lime rice would work better since the trace of acidity will balance off the sweetness and spiciness of the dish. The chicken mole was also served with 3 flour tortillas to wrap your chicken mole with.
Even if the dish can get pretty heavy midway, I thoroughly enjoyed B&T’s chicken mole. It would be perfect to wash it down with the Horchata drink or in between sips of margarita. I’d like to try it again with the cilantro lime rice next time, more timid than the Mexican brown rice. If it becomes too rich midway, just ask for a wedge of lemon to spritz on your mole from time to time or just add a touch of the fresh salsa. While you’re at it with all those testing of flavors, why not try it with their sexily addicting garlic sauce? 😉
Let your imagine-taste-tion go overdrive. Create your own wrap.

My previous entry on B&T Mexican Kitchen mentioned that they didn’t have brown rice. They have since added it in their roster that’s why Bubba’s favorite burritos now come with brown rice.
