Fast food restaurants emphasize speed of service and low cost. It is usually self-service where a customer would order from a counter, pay it, sit down and eat the meal.

Now the battle for the best twice cooked fried chicken in town is on! Bonchon Chicken is a South Korean brand and very popular in New York. They’ve recently opened their branches in Makati (Ayala Triangle Gardens and Greenbelt 1). They’re a crowd favorite in both of their branches, with people queuing just to taste their chicken. On the other hand, there is a local player that also uses the same process in cooking the fried chicken called Chicken Charlie. They’re located in the northern area of Manila – N.
