New! Bonchon Chicken, Bibimbowl



First food post! Yey! Lol!!

Tonight I'll talk about... Bonchon Chicken's new product, which is the Bonchon Bibimbowl. It is inspired by the Korean meal called Bibimbap which literally meant "mixed rice".
Bonchon's bibimbowl costs  99php each for ala carte and 155php for a complete meal with drinks and soup.


This is the third time I've ordered this so far, I always choose chicken... because I don't like beef, I find them hard to chew. Burgers are excluded hahaha!
So here it is the chicken bibimbowl. It looks almost the same as it looks like on the advertisement only the ads are more neat (well of course! *insert my bestfriends voice here*). So they have carrots, chicken, fried eggs, dried seaweed/nori... I dunno how it's called in Korean. And then there's spicy sweet and sour sauce in the middle. And as you can see they used a bowl...look at all the rice down there.

As you normally eat a bibimbap, you mix it first... who doesn't mix it? It's supposed to be mixed people!
Tada!! done mixing!
There, done mixing...

Bonchon's Bibimbowl tastes great honestly, the ingredients compliment each other well, and I like how they used fried chicken on it. Plus it's price is pretty cheap, it will really satisfy your hunger.
But sadly.. I prefer Mr. Kimbob's Bibimbap, why? Let's see... I think Bonchon's version lacks some spicy factor in it? Plus Mr. Kimbob uses sunny side-ups on their bibimbaps which adds to the flavor of their meal. The sauce they (Bonchon) put isn't enough to cover all those ingredients. It still tastes good though. I'll probably have another bowl when I go to SM.

Agmuos Core.....On Hiatus???


I suppose some of you know about Agmuos Core and that I'm one of the authors of the said series, no? I hate you (=3=) ... Just kidding! xD

For those who doesn't have a single idea what Agmuos Core is all about please check it out here.
Now, for those who has been reading some of the Agmuos Core stories, you may have noticed that the publishing of the series suddenly stopped around October of last year. Well, as some of you may have speculated, yes.. it's on hiatus due to a number of reasons; and no it isn't cancelled (thankfully). And to answer your questions to why the sudden halt of this project, I will be giving you some of the factors regarding this matter.

#1 Most of its writers are full-time college students

As mentioned on the AC's page, it is a project being done by a college organization. As much as we wanted to encourage them to write continuously, we respect the fact that they are in school to prioritize their studies before doing any extra-curricular activities.  We even talk to them when their grades drop.

#2 The alumni members are full-time employees

Among the writers of AC are three alumni, and two of them (I'm not included for I am unemployed) are full-time employees now. And since now that we're out of the campus doors, all we can do is to guide our juniors on what to do with the project. We also have our own parts in the story but... well.... reality strikes. I'm working on it.... I'm trying.... just you wait you...

#3 Unsatisfied with their work

Since we are a bunch of amateur writers, doubting our work happens pretty often. We suddenly want to change something that goes way back resulting to a time consuming editing process.

#4 Writer's block

Every writer goes through this once in a while, and we are not excused from it. There are times we don't even know what's gonna happen next because we can't think of anything to add on our story.

#5 Underdeveloped character/story

We are indeed amateurs and total newbies when it comes to writing novels, but that doesn't mean we'll let you read clumsy works. We want to try our best to make our readers remember what they read from us. Now, we're not trying to be authors of the "next Harry Potter " but we want our work to be worth remembering. Especially that each story reflects what happens to us and our organization in real life. So when we see that a character or a story is lacking, we often edit it, thus, taking more time.

So there it is, five reasons in which I think why AC went on hiatus. We will try our best to get back as soon as we can, we will have a meeting about it... probably during vacation. Thank you very much for those who read the series and are actually looking forward to the next updates. We are very sorry for making you wait for so long, and thank you for understanding.
