Chicken Love: Bonchon's Soy Garlic Chicken

I can't get enough of fried chicken. Who can resist its crispy skin and juicy meat anyway? And when I got a bite of the twice-fried chicken glazed with rich sweet soy garlic, there's no way I'd give it up. 

Hello, Bonchon. 

I was so famished after a shoot that I decided to head over to Bonchon for its no fail, famous chicken. 

The Chicken Across the Road: Smoper Chicken

Ever since Bon Chon became a hit here in Manila, several “twice fried” chicken restaurants appeared… practically everywhere. Which reminds me, there’s this place at SM North Edsa that I’ve been eying for some time now but I keep on forgetting. Let me stop myself now as I’m getting off topic.

On our way to a client presentation, my officemates A1 and A2 kidded that they want to have merienda (fine, late lunch). Our AE, C gamely said that she wants to eat too as she skipped lunch which sounded like lovely chimes to A1 and A2’s ears. Motivated, we were all energetic during the presentation.

 

After the presentation, A1 and A2 reminded C of her word and so like little kids, we looked for a restaurant. Actually, we didn’t look far as we just crossed the street and discovered…SMOPER CHICKEN.

L.A. Food Find Favorite: Kyochon

Hey, Bonch—Kyochon? Same offering, different names… confused.

 

After a very short Chinatown trip, my mom, sister and I decided to have lunch at our new favorite place, Glendale Galleria. With grumbling tummies, we patiently waited for the bus and off to shopping wonderland.

Since we were stingy that day, we decided to avoid restaurants and headed towards the food court instead. There were a lot of choices but the two restaurants/food concessionaires that stood out were Panda Express (since I love pandas) and Kyochon.
