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.

The Stink in Summer

Ok so finally,we had our much long awaited " Super Awteng" haha. We went through just before the Holy week started. Unfortunately I didn't think we picked out the best private resort there is. We ended up at Champion Hot spring Resort at Pansol Laguna (I don't think the name suits itself afterwards ;]), since the holidays are just few nights away, it's really hard finding anything cheap and worth your money.
This one has 3 rooms with 3 beds each, there's also a videoke and a billiards table.






At first, we thought we striked out a great deal since most resorts offer their pools for 14-15k for a 24hrs stay, and like most of us out there, we're kind of running low on budget, so we just couldn't be happier when the caretaker offered this resort for only 12k for one whole day. We chose the 7pm-7pm sked.

So then, we arrived nearly at eight in the evening, thanks to the usual rush hour traffic jam, so it was great the place was cleaned up and poshed up for our stay, with only one exception, one of the room's aircon was jammed. And the weather is not helping. And with my amazing luck, we, my 9 friends and I ended up staying there.
So just not to ruin our night we just got dressed and went straight to the pool and tried to still enjoy ourselves.




We swam and drank like a fish all night long, though the pool area is quite dark, since the lights are only coming from the dining hall.The videoke's working great, finally one thing that's right that evening. One of my friends and I decided to stay up till next morning, since our room was so crammed up, and it's hot as hell anyway.
We ended up playing billiards, or what seemed like our own version of the game.haha







We waited for the caretaker to change the pool water or let it overflow a little, so the pool wouldn't smell like shit, that's what the others did when my family went to outings there at pansol too. But unfortunately, kuya didn't come. And then the others woke up and were looking forward to a summer morning swim, not knowing that they'll be about to dip into a something more like a stagnant pond.
So left with no choice, we still ended up swimming, for the sake of the blazing sun, we had to. I wouldn't lie, the water stinked big time. We were approximately thirty people tryin to fit in in the not-so-big-and-stinky pool.

And to make matters worse, kuya showed up late in the afternoon only to tell us that we had to leave the place at about 5pm, 2 hours early than the said time which was seven. They have to clean up daw for the next occupants, I dont think anyone else made a mistake of choosing this place, it was frankly the oldest resort there in the subdivision.

So despite the long and boring argument with kuya we were still forced to pack up early, we just ended up cam-whoring out on the streets. And for some reason we felt the urge to leave the place as messy as hell haha.


So then I just proved to myself that sometimes, or most of the time, you really have to pay up for great service.
