aiyooooo....

...this has got to be the best fried chicken i have tasted so far, i think.. hehe

was at Tropicana Mall yesterday to watch a movie (Tron) but before that had dinner at the ChicKing outlet. wasn't really expecting much even though i was really enamoured with the posters of their fried chicken on display. had to be careful after the con by the fake cheesy potato the other day. nowadays, must never be too trusting of nice foody pictures..haha

so i ordered a two piece set that came with mash & coleslaw but asked for an exchange for 2 mash potatoes instead. my initial apprehension was proven right again when i opened the covers to the mash potato cups. they were so watery they were like potato soup..aiyooo. too much gravy or not enough potato? hmmm..But..one taste and it made me feel better. i even ordered some french fries to dip in the potato "soup".. maybe they purposely made the mash potato that way, so one can have a pseudo-soup or have it as potato dip, at the same time...hehehe

what came next truly made my day. from appearance, the chicken looked just like any other hot & spicy fried chickens out there, not extremely impressive. but one bite and i was in fried chicken heaven. it was crispy on the outside (everyone in there was making so much "krok2" sound), with soft tender meat on the inside, and the taste was rather quite exquisite..had a bit of spicy taste to it with a hint of garlic..yummmeh.. the only let down was i asked for a thigh and wing but i was given a wing and a breast. a bit strange that people working in chicken outlets cannot differentiate chicken parts..and the fries were quite on par with McD's if not better i would say.. they were quite good actually, very crispy on the outside, soft on the inside and most importantly, without that artificial potato taste..







<------- very clean looking fries, not oily or soggy.. if only i had some cheesy dip to go with them, would have been absolutely orgasmic..hehe ... and oh btw...Merry X'mas ya...
