Of Sherlock & K Chicken

Img-20121004-00442
I had been telling the boyfriend that I want to check how tasty BonChon's chicken and if the review in PopTalk was really that reliable. To avoid the curious Cebuano crowd (who usually dines with a flock when there is something new--thank God the 7Eleven craze died down), I told him that we whould be there as soon as it opens for the day.

We paid through his GCs and since the flagship product is their chicken, i had the spicy chops. And... no, it was not tasty at all. Suddenly, I miss the Chowking crispy chicken or better yet, the P15 chicken for sale across the office. My taste buds remained Pinoy. 

The menu isn't bad at all but it is their chicken that I could not swallow. It's too dry, the meat so bland and I could not find the 'spicy' chicken. The crew are still frantic. Gamay pa gani ang customers, unsa na kaha on peak hours. I asked for rice, and, they just gave me a wrapped rice forgetting to give me a plate till I asked for one. (But, this I understand.)

I googled for review, there were more positive ones that the rotten ones in fairness. I wonder if the Ayala Branch is still adjusting or their cook still learning. Their chicken is a bit pricy too that I will settle for Chowking's chicken again.(But, still, this I understand since it is a 'Korean' chicken....imported ang brand, mahal tingali ang royalty). 

But, I'd definitely go back because of their delicious yogurt. The Blueberry Torte is affordable and will make sure to taste the other flavor. And will check their non-chicken menu too. But not next week. Months from now, i guess.

And yes, Sherlock! I still want to have a good pair of eyes that instead of going for the eBook versions, I managed to find a cheaper Bantam volume of Doyle's works for only P259. It includes The Hound of Baskervilles, The Valley of Fear, His Last Bow (the last of the Sherlock novels) and The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes. So, that would leave me with three more stories to read and I'd be done reading all the Sherlock series!☺ 

P.S. It is a very cold Thursday. Keep your umbrellas, it usually rains in the afternoon.
