I Love Chicken Bon Chon!

Okay, this is rather a late post... not because this happened a long time ago but because Chicken Bon Chon has been in Manila for like 2 years already.

Anyway, I digress. We've been meaning to try Bon Chon every time we happened to be in the malls, however, our cravings for mexican, american, italian, mediterranean, greek, japanese or chinese would always prevail.  Two weeks ago though, that was before Habagat came, we were in SM North Edsa Annex  to meet a friend. Papsi planned to eat at Amici but when we arrived at the restaurant's stall, we were surprised that it wasn't there anymore. We were already hungry and too tired to look for another place to eat so we kind of settled with Bon Chon. And boy we are glad we did!

Fish fillet also in Soy-Garlic

We also had fries (for Reese) and Kimchi Coleslaw (which was surprisingly delish) as sidings.

Everything we ordered was satisfying, in tagalog, sulit! See their happy faces?

Now, I can't get over my Bon Chon addiction. I think I can eat Bon Chon everyday!
