Everything Korean: That's What I Like!
I've just heard stories about "BonChon" that their Fried Chicken tastes so good, but I don't know a single thing about that. I surfed around the web, and I got a tidbit: The America voted for that as the best fried chicken; is it really that good? Since I love Korean stuff, I had happy thoughts about their foodies, like their Bibimbap, Sundae, Bulgogi, Bungeoppang, and it's too many to mention those stuff, haha! :) Thinking that it's the greatest in the USA, I had a lot of expectations from them. How about our verdict? Can it also be the best here in the Philippines? Hmm..
Last Friday was the best night for my dad, celebrating his birthday up to sundown. My Ninong Den decided to eat out with us, so he planned to eat at BonChon Chicken. Actually, it was also our first time going there and we just wanna try it out for something fresh and new.

| It was not that spacious, but a little artsy and pretty decent. Nice! |

| Framed art pieces placed around every corner... |

| BonChon's really a busy place 'til it's up. |

| Oh! That's a Bottomless Iced Tea! Literally... :) |

The Soy-Garlic Chicken was good, as its name says it all. It has a flavorful taste on the outside and still, a flavorful taste on the outside. The meat tastes a little flat for me, and I think that they might be focusing more on the flavor of the chicken skin. Another wild guess might be is that the chicken was fried twice (yeah, literally),causes it to have a less meaty flavor. For that Korean Fried Chicken, it is a little "flop" for me.
For their Fish & Chips, its dip balances it all. With its savory tomato dip, makes it so tasty. I think that the fish meat is a Cream Dory one, as it has a softer and finer texture, unlike the stereotype ones at the groceries. Overall, it has a light taste as well, but since I love potatoes, it made that much better.
For my final verdict: their foodie was a little good, but it was pricy too. Gonna go there, maybe this coming weekend again hoping for a little bit of a change. Not bad for a Korean foodie jumpstart!
Annyeong!

Tidbits!
- "Bon Chon" means "Original Village" in Korean!
- It actually originated from Busan, Korea at some time around 2002.
- Philippines has the most number of BonChon Chicken branches (22 branches in total) compared to Korea which only has 10 branches around, and that's really true!
Hop in at BonChon Chicken then go try one!
