BonChon Chicken Wing

It was interesting to have met BonChon Philippines head honcho Scott Tan last week where he shared a technique on how to eat BonChon chicken wings. As trivial as it may sound, I was amazed that one can eat about half of a crispy fried chicken wing in one bite. 🙂

As inspired as I was, I had to go back to BonChon two days after and try it myself. So, together with my gf and another friend, we found ourselves back at the BonChon BGC branch which opened just a month ago.

BonChon BGC

Generally, my favorite chicken part is the meaty breasts and thighs, the wings come last. However, with BonChon’s original Korean crispy fried chicken secret recipe, the wings (in soy garlic) are my favorite!

BonChon Chicken came to the Philippines back in November 2010 and has since grown to 19 branches today including Alabang Town Center, Ayala Triangle Garden (ATG), Shangri-la Plaza, SM Mall of Asia, and One Parkade in BGC.  Check out more about the contemporary Korean brand BonChon Chicken at www.bonchon.com.ph.

Korean Yogurt

I also found a new item in the BonChon menu board – the Korean Yogurt called BonChon “Ko-Yo“. They are available in Banofee Pie and Blueberry Torte variants for P70. The plain one is P35.

I found the plain one too small and I think the P70 variant is more cost efficient in terms of size (a.k.a. worth it). I also asked what was the difference between a Korean Yogurt and regular yogurt. I learned that Korean yogurts are less sweet and tastes more tangy.

And of course, I am not ending this article without my personal video of the “How Do I BonChon?”

How about you? How Do You BonChon? 🙂

Yogurt is a healthy food alternative that is both nutritious and delicious in taste. And making this product accessible and easy to prepare is what EasiYo yogurt makers have in mind.

Benefits of Yogurt

A cup of yogurt a day gives 47.5% of our daily recommended calcium intake, which we need to fight osteoporosis and to have stronger bones and teeth. It is also rich in protein, about 30% more than what milk can deliver. Yogurt is also rich in vitamins like B-2, B-12, Potassium and Magnesium.

But, how much does a cup of yogurt cost in the local market? Have you ever think of making your own yogurt at home?

EasiYo Launched
