BBQ Chicken

 

BBQ Chicken specializes in Korean style fried chicken.  It offers 10+ flavors and can choose between regular, boneless, and chicken wings.  Each order comes with 8 pieces of chicken and can choose 1 flavor for every 8 pieces of chicken.  Compared to Buffalo Wild Wings, BBQ Chicken did not offer customers to choose multiple flavors per fried chicken order.  BBQ Chicken also offer Korean Fusion food such as Kimchi Pasta, Kimchi Fried Rice, and other soup dishes.

We got to BBQ Chicken around noon and there was literally no one in the restaurant.  The restaurant was quite large but lacks customers around this time.  We ordered an 8 pieces Golden Original chicken wings, a Kimchi Fried Rice, and a Odeng Kimchi Soup.

While we were waiting for our food, there was actually a lot of take out orders.  Most people ordered take out instead of dine in.

Our food took a more than 15 minutes to be ready.  Not sure if it was due to large amount of take out orders.  The Golde Original fried chicken is just like the classic fried chicken.  It was quite hot and fresh with a lot of juice.  However, we would say Jolibee offers better fried chicken than this at a cheap price.  The Kimchi Fried Rice came with an egg on the top.  We actually enjoyed the fried rice.  It had a lot of kimchi flavor but not so spicy at the same time.  We had mixed feedback on the Odeng Kimchi Soup.  It had great flavor that was both spicy and sweet.  We like the flavor of the soup.  However, there was a lot of mixed veggies and fish cakes in the soup.  The mixed veggies in the soup seemed random and did not taste good at all.

Overall, the experience at BBQ Chicken did not meet our expectation.  We had Korean Fried Chicken at other places and it was good.  But the recommended Golden Original Fried Chicken was just like the fried chicken at other places and not as good as Jolibee.  We would not recommend getting Golden Original Fried Chicken here but can try other flavors.

Good Catch Cafe

 

Good Catch Cafe is a restaurant specialized in Cantonese cafe food.  This includes dishes that mixed Western and Chinese cultural food together.  Good Catch Cafe has multiple locations and had outstanding reviews from people who have dined there.  While we were visiting Toronto this holiday season, we wanted to give this a try.

We went to the Good Catch Cafe restaurant at Fairview Mall.  The mall has definitely changed a lot with a lot more people than 5 years ago.  Good Catch Cafe is located right across from T&T supermarket.  We got there around 4:30PM before the dinner rush hour and got a table immediately.  There was a QR code on the table and we could scan it and order directly from the web page.

We ordered a baked chicken steak with spaghetti and it comes from Cantonese milk tea included.  The food came really quickly within 10 minutes and it looks delicious.  The chicken steak was precut into smaller strips and knife was not required.  The baked tomato sauce was very aromatic and had a faint sweet taste to it.  We really enjoyed this meal that mixed Western and Chinese cuisines together.

This meal cost $17 Canadian plus tax.  It was a great value considering that it included a large milk tea drink.  There were several other dishes we would like to try and thus we would definitely come a revisit again in the future.
