Spicing Up Life with Bon Chon Chicken: A Feature and Review in One Blog Post

It has been months since I last attended a blog event due to my busy work schedule, but when I heard that there is going to be a Bon Chon event for bloggers, I didn't hesitate and confirmed my attendance with Azrael (Thanks again, Az!).

I have read a lot about Bon Chon Chicken over the internet and I would never let this opportunity pass without even trying it. The event went smoothly well as food bloggers gathered at Bon Chon Chicken-Ayala Triangle Garden, Makati. Mr. Scott Tan, owner of Bon Chon Philippines, was also there to welcome us.

It was indeed a delightful event, as Bon Chon filled our tummies with great food and our hearts with great pleasure. They served us with their bestsellers, and I can say they didn't disappointed me. Without further ado, here's my take of the food they presented:

Ginger Tofu Salad

Ginger Tofu Salad

The vegetables in the Ginger Tofu Salad was fresh and all so crunchy you would never say "no" for an answer. You can easily mix and shake the veggies, tofu, fried wanton wrapper (stripped) and the sesame sauce altogether because it comes in a covered container. Pour the sauce cautiously because too much of it would give you a salty dish. This is one of my favorites because of the crunchy fried wanton wrapper!

Crispy Calamari

I am not much of a squid person, so I won't claim the Crispy Calamari as my favorite. But in all fairness, it tasted awesomely good—crispy when hot and not too salty. The creamy, cheesy dip adds flavor to it, too.

Dory Fish Taco

The Dory Fish Taco was also a hit. I loved it. I think it was my first time to eat Dory (or as far as I remember). The fish was tender and meaty. The vegetables, like that in the green tofu salad, were fresh and crunchy and best paired with the cream toppings. However, I think it lacked the super spicy feel. Hot sauce, please!

Rice Beef Bulgogi

Bulgogi was okay. It was a combination of sweet, salty, and spicy flavors, and I liked it—especially with rice. This is so perfect for lunch! I wish Bon Chon opens a branch near our office. Would it be possible, Bon Chon? *beautiful eyes to Mr. Tan*

12 pieces of Bon Chon Spicy Chicken

Okay, this is my most favorite part: FRIED CHICKEN!!! Seriously, Bon Chon Chicken is the best chicken I've tried so far. The chicken was perfectly marinated and deep fried. It was totally spicy but still tolerable for the senses. It is the kind of dish that I would not get bored of eating. I can even finish all twelve in one sitting, even without rice. Two thumbs up! I'll surely come back to Bon Chon!
