Friday: Wee Nam Kee and Bon Chon Chicken

I just got home from Singapore and was badly craving for Hainanese Chicken. It was a good thing that Wee name kee just opened in Ayala Triangle Gardens (ATG) which was a walking distance from the office. So we decided to have lunch there only to get disappointed by the following reasons:
  1. The place was big but disorganized and messy. The chairs and tables weren't strategically and properly placed so the place feels uncomfy and crowded.
  2. The service staff were slow and inexperienced. They just opened so we were nice but they really don't know what they were doing. They don't even know the details of the food they're selling! Our soup was the last one to arrived! Yes soup and not dessert! They wouldn't give it if we did not ask for it. 
  3. The food was pricey for their small serving (P168 meal). And honestly, it was not that good. I was expecting a lot from their Chicken.

It was obvious we weren't satisfied and we usually take our friday food trips seriously. So we went to Bon chon Chicken right after work hoping it would save the day.

  The place was a bit tiny compared to their branch in GB

The chicken was small but i'm in love with the taste specially the spicy one



A combination of 6 wings (tiny) and 3 drumstick would cost around P365 and 3 drumstick or 6 wings is around P185. A friend said he found the chicken to be too small for its price. He's right but I really love it's strong taste that i had to come back for it again. Unlike Wee nam kee, which after eating will force you to buy something else because it was not enough, Bon Chon was a little more satisfying.
