Food

3 pcs Rice Meal 

Yangnyeom  (108 php)

When I got my order of Yangnyeom 3 pcs. Rice Meal, I was instantly impressed with the serving size for the price of only 108 php.  Then when I got a bite, I was instantly understood why this is such a hit.  The blend and the crisp brought comfort to my soul.

Limited Edition Cheese

I loved all the flavors even the Limited Edition Cheese. 

Boneless Half and Half (2 Flavors)

Yangnyeom x2 and Yangnyeom Garlic (Boneless Whole 388 php)

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
24 Chicken has three factors for success which I refer to the 3 Cs: 1.) Comforting blend of flavors and crunchiness 2.) Cheap price 3.) Convenient with quick delivery and take-outs.    I find its name very appropriate because with the 3 Cs, you'd want and you could enjoy 24 Chicken as often as you can.

When we ate at Jang Ga Nae, my little sister said that we should have eaten at Seoul Korean Restaurant where she and her schoolmates always dine at.  I told her that Jang Ga Nae was top-rated by bloggers and netizens while Seoul Korean Restaurant is unsearchable online.


She told me that this place used to be named Happy 6 Days.  Since my little sister is the ultimate K-pop and Korean food fan in the family, we take her suggestions highly and gave Seoul Korean Restaurant a try.

It is not as big as it's next door neighbor but believe it or not, I find simple homy places more appealing.  

Food

Complimentary Banchan

We were served their delicious Complimentary Banchan: Miyeok Muchim (seaweed salad), Mu Saengchae (thinly sliced radish kimchi), Kimchi, Gyeran Mari (fried egg), Okra Kangjung, Dubu Ganjangjorim (pan-fried tofu with spicy sauce).  We loved all of them!  We were looking forward to trying more dishes upon tasting these!

Kimbap (120 php)

The Kimbap is so good too!

Dak Galbi (400 php)

The Dak Galbi is one of the best I've had!  The spiciness isn't overwhelming with a mellow sesame essence.  The serving size is hefty too. 
 

O-Sam Bulgogi (500 php)

The O-Sam Bulgogi is thin pork an squid slices in soy sauce marinate.  We had the spiciness at mild level.  This was another hit!  The pork and squid were tender plus the marinade was so delicious! 

Yang Nyum Chicken (350 php)

Leading Korean Fried Chickens brands are no match for the Yang Nyum Chicken.  It's got finger-licking sauce, very crunchy skin and tender juicy meat.  I'm actually quite surprised at how good this is! 

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Seoul Korean Restaurant is Pasig's hidden authentic Korean gem.  Every dish we ordered was so good!  Taste-wise, I felt that they don't scrimp on ingredients as the dishes are so rich and hearty just like the kind of food my mom and I would prepare at home.  Their serving size is good for sharing so bring some company with you.  I highly recommend this place.  

A few months ago, I was in the Bonifacio Global City area when my friend Sumi called me inviting me to go to join them at Koko Buri at Forum South Global.

I usually google about restaurants prior to visiting them so I have an idea about what food they are offering.  But since this was an impromptu spur of the moment thing, I didn't know what to expect.

I was surprised that it occupied a large area and the interior were really grand.

It caters to both big and small groups with private function rooms even.

Food

Appetizers

Chicken Popcorns (190 php)

Only when I saw the Chicken Popcorns on the table did I realize that it served Korean Fried Chicken.  These little poppers were fun to eat.
 

Dori Dori (260 php)

But, I enjoyed the superb crunchy coating and softness of the fish meat of the Dori Dori more the the former.


Chicken Meal (served with rice and salad)

Chili Garlic Chicken Meal Lunch (175 php) *photo credits to thepurpledoll.net

They offer the Chicken Meals in two sizes: lunch and dinner (bigger).  We liked the crispy and the juiciness of the Chili Garlic Chicken but found the spiciness inadequate especially when the menu indicated it with a spicy level of 3 chillies. 

Pasta

♥ Fettucci di Koko Buri (380 php)

The Fettucci di Koko Buri is a hit amongst us.  I've never had healthy asparagus cream pasta this good!

Pizza

Primavera (455 php)

The Primavera is a fully-loaded crispy thin crusted pizza with ground beef and pork, green and red bell peepers, mushroom, onions and olives.


Sizzling Pots

♥ Nagasaki Champon (595 php)

 The Nagasaki Champon is a really hot pot... hot meaning spicy! =)  It was even spicier that the Chili Garlic Chicken.  It's a huge bowlful that's good for 6-8 persons.  It has five kinds of seafoods: squid, clams, mussels, alimasag (tiny crab) and shrimps.  It also has bean sprouts, cabbage, scallions and udon noodles so its really heavy on the tummy.  As a spicy lover, I loved this!

Beverages

Natural Carrot and Apple Slush (140 php)

The Natural Carrot and Apple Slush was too light for my liking...  It would be better if it had more carrots.

Update (November 2014): Dined at Forun South Global and noticed this place is already closed.  Guess you have to travel to Pampanga to try them out now.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
Koko Buri is an upscale place for Korean Fried Chicken and more.  The price is quite reasonable given its impressive ambiance.  They also serve imported beers and wines that perfectly soothes its fanciness.

Have you ever felt for a craving for something to munch in the middle of the day?  I know I have.  So, I thought it was brilliant for BonChon Chicken to introduce their new BonChon Snack Ons.

I have to admit, the last time I've been to BonChon Chicken was more than a year ago.  During that time, I was intrigued by their Bulgogi selection.  New items are always that ones that lure me in you see.  So I'm quite excited that they have more selections!  I'm quite please that introduced salad selections since my last visit too.

Food

Mains

♥ Chapchae (75 php)

Hmm... I wonder why I missed ordering this before.  This version of Chapchae is excellent from the bounciness of the noodles to the richness of flavor. 


Sides & Salads

Fries (45 php)

♥ Sweet Potato Fries (60 php)

The Sweet Potato Fries are addictive!  They are made from imported golden yellow sweet potatoes which are naturally sweet and tasty.

Onion Rings (60 php)

For those who prefer onions than potatoes like me, the Onion Rings is a great option.


Snacks

♥ Fish Taco (75 php)

The Fish Taco is my new favorite at Bonchon.  It's definitely the bang for the buck complete meal!  If you recall the basics of food nutrition, you can see that its got the soft taco as go food, coleslaw as glow food and fish as grow food. 

Snackwich

♥ Double Garlic Snackwich (75 php)

There's been a highlight for chicken burgers for the past few months.  I'd say the Double Garlic Snackwich should be added as one of the options!  The garlic sauce and the sweet and savory chicken fillet is a superb combination. 
 

♥ Double Spicy Snackwich (75 php)

The Double Spicy Snackwich is a chicken shandiwch with Kimchi Coleslaw.  If been a consistent reader, you'd know that I am crazy for spicy foods. This is my kind of chicken burger!

♥ Double Spicy Snackwich (75 php)

What I like most about their chicken fillet is the consistent thin and crunchy coating.  The chicken meat is also tender and juicy.  Every bite is so sensational! 

Chicken Poppers

Chicken Poppers (115 php)

 The Chicken Poppers reminds me of chicken nuggets because of its size.  It has the same Bonchon Soy Garlic glaze as with all chicken products.

Spicy Chicken Poppers (115 php)

The Spicy Chicken Poppers on the other hand is glazed with their spicy sauce.

Poppers & Fries Snackbox (145 php)

If you want to eat the chicken popper with fries, you can order the Poppers & Fries Snackbox.  Because you can save 15 php compared to ordering a large Chicken Popper and Fries separately.

Crispy Crepes & Ko-Yo (Korean Yogurt)

♥ Mangoes & Cream Crispy Crepe (60 php)

Although I've tried soft and fluffy crepes before, this is actually my first time to try a crispy dessert crepe.  The golden brown coating gives a wonderful crispiness.  On the contrary, it is soft on the inside like a that of a puff pastry.   

♥ Mangoes & Cream Crispy Crepe (60 php)

The Mangoes & Cream Crispy Crepe is filled with Mango preserves.  I initially expected the mangoes to be sweet like our local mangoes but instead the mango cubes tasted peachy so I assumed that they are made from imported mangoes. 

Apple Caramel Crispy Crepe (60 php)

 The Apple Caramel Crispy Crepe is drizzled with Cinnamon and caramel syrup.
 

Apple Caramel Crispy Crepe (60 php)

It was filled with apple preserves.

Banoffie Pie Ko-Yo (75 php)

You can safely assume from my expansive Frozen Yogurt posts that I am fond of them.  So I was eager to finish my meal just to try their Ko-Yo selections.  The Banoffie Pie Ko-Yo is Ko-Yo topped with banana slices drizzled with caramel syrup.  It also has crunchy pie crust crumbs in the middle.  The sweetness of the banana and caramel was a good contrast to the tangy yogurt flavor.  I enjoyed this to the last bit. 

Blueberry Torte Ko-Yo (75 php)

My friend had the Blueberry Torte Ko-Yo which I was able to sample.  He enjoyed it because he loved blueberries.  Well for me, this is sour blueberries + sour Ko-Yo.  
 

♥ Mango Sanrival Ko-Yo (75 php)

My kind of Ko-Yo perhaps is the Mango Sanrival Ko-Yo.  It's got mangoes and bits of cashew nuts.  This was emptied quickly as if this wasn't my second Ko-Yo cup. =p


Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
BonChon Chicken has surely grown with more branches and offerings.  I can see its growth to continue as it taps to more diners with various preference.  It's now more than just Korean Fried Chicken.  Like on my diet days (rare but there are those days I swear!), I see their salads as a great option!

We've tried a number of Korean Fried Chicken since the concept has landed in the Philippines.  But, our quest continues as we try more of it.  Our latest discovery is 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken.  Good thing it's beside our favorite coffee shop, Seattle's Best, at SM Mall of Asia so we noticed it despite the mismatch of colors that made its lighted sign difficult to read.

I've heard a lot of raves about this joint since it was brought here in the Philippines from New York inspired concept from Singapore last January 2012. 

“4 Fingers” signifies the four friends who established the fast-food branch.  At the same time, it also pertains to using "4 Fingers" that you use for eating the chicken. 

It was quite funky with this "4 Finger" glass window that let's you peek through the kitchen.  It also had a printed wall with remarks about "4 Fingers"

We wanted to try dining at this unique high table and chair but it was occupied.  It looked way cool that the usual table sets located in the inner part of the restaurant. 

Given their limited space which was mostly taken up by the kitchen area, they were able to utilize it well with the narrow dining set up. 

Food

Ala Carte

♥ Chicken Drumsticks 6 pcs (369 php) (Someone was quick to grab 1 before I snapped the photo!)

I was expecting our chicken to be served at the stainless steel lunchboxes like from the other tables but
perhaps they only use that for meal orders.  We ordered in sets and got the Chicken Drumsticks in 6 pcs. 
According to the box, this 4 Fingers should be kept secret but their chicken is so good to be kept as one!

Its coating is perfectly crunchy.  Their blend of sauce is savory yet not overpowering.  And, the chicken is juicy too!

Sides

Kim Chi Coleslaw (55 php)

The Kim Chi Coleslaw is just alright.  It had some spice that could tickle the taste buds and break the monotony of just devouring over their chicken.

Skinny Fries Small (45 php)

The Skinny Fries a nice side of crunchiness and red pepper-y and seaweed flavor.

Rice with Spice & Teriyaki (20 php)

The Rice with Spice & Teriyaki was not as enticing as the menu image.  Quite frankly, we'd appreciate more teriyaki sauce on it.  Plus, it was on the dry side.


Update (July 2014): Noticed that this branch is now closed.  Try their other branch instead.

Tsinoy Foodies Verdict
4 Fingers Crispy Chicken is one of the best Korean Fried Chicken that we've tried yet.  Pricing is within the benchmark of its kind.  I also love the funky street-style ambiance.  I'm glad they opened in SM Mall of Asia so we were able to try it out.  Although I'm generally not as eager as the rest when it comes to this type of dish, I'd would never hesitate coming back to enjoy 4 Fingers Crispy Chicken!
