Laguna's Sweet Empire arises

Get your sweet tooth ready, because a new shop called Empire of Sweets has started satisfying our tastebuds. Its queen, Eunice Navarro of Paete, Laguna began selling her own banoffee pies through online and phone orders. New products was added later on due to positive feedback from happy customers. With a price range of 100 to 330 pesos, it's pretty reasonable compared to other shops with prices higher than the size of their products. What's in for this budding business? We'll see soon enough. They don't have a physical store yet so if  you want to try out their sweets, just click HERE or their logo above and you shall be redirected to Hogwarts... I mean, their facebook page. And hopefully, someday, we'll finally see this shop physically, even better, a branch of it when we walk down the street or even inside malls. It's a pretty big dream for a small business but hey, small seedlings can grow into magnificent trees if you give loads of care and attention to it.

Bonchon Chicken: Creamy Curry Bibimbowl

So, I went to eat dinner at Bonchon Chicken today and saw that they have this new product that I decided to try: their Creamy Curry Bibimbowl. It's basically bibimbowl with a touch of  korean curry, and still come out in two flavors : chicken and beef. It's the same price as their regular bibimbowl too (99PHP for ala carte and 155PHP for the rice box meal).

The actual Creamy Curry Bowl

I actually decided to try this out because I like curries and I seldom eat them because mom doesn't make them at home.... because she doesn't like it. When my order arrived, I decided to make a blog about it so ta-daaahhh~ here it is! Creamy Curry has the usual chicken/beef in it, green peas, potatoes, onions and of course the curry sauce. It tastes like the regular curry, only with the chicken fillet. I wasn't able to finish it (I finished the soup though lol!) because it has a weird after-taste to me, I dunno why, I usually love curry.... maybe it's the onions? I don't like onions so maybe that's why. The grean peas are kinda hard to chew also that's why I didn't like it that much. So yeah, instead of finishing the rice bowl I ended up taking the beef soup to ward off the taste.  Sadly, it didn't work for me so I'll be reverting to my usual regular chicken bibimbowl. Everyone has their own taste with food though so you may want to check it out too. 

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.
