ONE OF THE WORST CHIC BOY BRANCH I'VE EVER WENT TO

Well after typhoon Glenda hit home, there's nothing much left to do with all the power/water/wifi outages in town. For the first few nights I actually found it romantic eating with all the candle lights and with only them to sustain the dim lit vision all night. But past forward four days and it's not helping anybody's mood already. So we just had to eat out.
     Living in Imus, Cavite has its downside, actually many of them. Unlike living in other areas in the south (Las Piñas, Parañaque, Muntinlupa ), there's only so many places you can go in times like these. Yes malls have been springing up everywhere, but there's still this lack of those small, quaint yet modern and hip restaurants that all the latter has. All we have is fast food, chains and chains of them. So in times of hunger, you really have no choice but to resort to one. 
   So that night, I was craving for Sisig , and one of my faves is Chic Boy, I've always been a fan. It's cheap, tasty and will always give your belly the blob it needs. It offers Unlimited Rice and soup, overflowing chicken oil, mountains of fried garlic to go with all your high blood inducing foods. What else can you actually ask for? 

So I grabbed my hubby to go to the nearest outlet, and it's in V Central Mall Molino. We got there at around half past eight and people are still lining up in the counter. We immediately ordered our food,  Lechon Sisig for me and Liempo for him. They're both Unli-Rice. We sat down and waited for our order, I gently asked one of the waiters if they have fried garlic, and with a very delighting smug look on his face he answered a stiff, "WALA." Fine I'd let that pass, but past forward 20 mins. that's only when our dishes came. And my hubby even got the wrong one, the smug waiter kept on insisting he ordered a chicken leg. So I gave him our receipt. He checked then went away, thankfully after around 5 minutes he came back with the right order. Okay time to eat, finally.

As I was looking at my most awaited food, I readily realized something's not right. This isn't what I ordered. This isn't Sisig, this is OIL with a few spoons of meat.  

This is what their website says it's supposed to look like (Lechon Sisig)

And this is what I got: 

Really, are they serious? I'm not picky when it comes to food, but seriously, can you even call this food?  I tried to eat it since I'm really hungry, I tried scooping the less oily stuff out of the death pool but it just didn't work. I just scavenged a few slices of meat from my hubby. 

I'm a big fan of this restaurant, and I'm not against them in any way. But some of their branches really need to step up. If you want to maintain that good reputation then please hire qualified people, not to mention friendly. It's all about service. And with this branch, I'm not sure if they really have it. 

Hot Star Large Fried Chicken is now in the Philippines

Hot Star Large Fried Chicken is now in the Philippines

Well I must say say this is a new found treasure for all of us Filipinos who are very fond of unlimited rice and unbelievably large amounts of serving-size foods.

This restaurant got its origins from Taiwan and it kind of spread like wild fire into the whole world, managing to have branches in Australia, Singapore and many more.

Well here in the Philippines, it is located at one of the freshest and newest food hub in the city, The Blue Bay Walk in Macapagal Ave. Pasay City, just a notch away from the famous Mall of Asia, Complex. But the store need not fuss for as far as I know this is a first in the Philippines. So it can brag all it wants.

The menu is basically and as expected consists of fried items, the famous jaw-breaking fried chicken of course, then the equally gigantic fish fillet and then it also serves chicken skin and wings. Also, they have sandwiches for those who still consider their diet while dining at this place.

The Menu

For the price, I think it's still very reasonable for the amount and the size of the slab you're gonna get. I'm telling you it's gonna test every bit of manhood in your veins to devour everything and finish it. That's why you can order it with rice or just the chicken itself which you'd eat in their take out paper bag. And there's unli gravy too! ( a plus). 

     If you're gonna ask me what's the best thing to order I'd say go for the

BBQ style fried chicken cause it's probably the one that has the most taste in them. Frankly speaking, their chicken tastes good, but not really out of the ordinary just really, really large. I guess that's the catch.  But all in all it's good and worth every bucks.

My order:BBQ flavored chicken.
