Taste Test: Honey Garlic Chicken

Since I’ve been much of a homebody lately, I can’t share stories about places I’ve been to. Well, I’ve never really been to a lot of places naman talaga before. Feel ko lang talaga yung galaan ngayon and since hindi makagala, prisoner ang drama ko. Hay naku, please ignore me na lang when you hear me complain so much. It’s just a phase. Lilipas din ang pagba-baliw-baliwan ko. I hope it’ll be soon, bago pa man ako kainisan ng madlang pipol. ^_^

So I’ll share more of food stuff! Kasi naman what do you do ba when you can’t travel?... You eat! Wehehe!

I also have some Amber stuff but I have yet to pull myself together before I share stories about my toddler who is getting more and more active these past few days. She is learning so much, nakakatuwa! ^_^

Back to the food. I’m sure you have seen the latest Chowking Chef Bowl Special. The Honey Garlic Chicken instantly caught my eye. I don’t know but minus the garlic bits and veggies, it reminded me so much of Bon Chon Chicken. I had to try it!


Verdict?

Nah, it’s a far cry from Bon Chon. I’d still go with Bon Chon though I’m not a big fan of it either. Makes me wonder if it was even right to compare them. Hmmm... kasi they look slightly, just slightly lang naman, the same lalo na with the glaze but they are very different in every ways.

I hope they make the chicken breading crispier. That would be a treat. The chicken would do fine even without the sauce. The sauce... yeah, the sauce! Something about the sauce doesn’t taste right on my palate.

But overall, it was a filling dish. Something that will make you burp after, especially with the help of a glass of a cold soda. ^_^

    1. haha! exactly my sentiments when i made the post about bonchon months ago. but it's really famous in korea and even in the US. kaso yun nga, so overrated! i ordered the drumsticks before. then i wanted to give it another try by having the chicken wings one of these days. baka bumawi sila dun. it's more like pangpulutan kasi, papak lang dapat. when you eat it with rice, sobrang bland! ^_^
