I've heard friends from Quezon City rave about Wingstop, a Texas-based fast food chain that…read morespecializes in chicken wings and tenders. A few weeks ago, I discovered that a branch has finally opened in Makati. At the streetside section of Glorietta 2, directly facing Landmark, it's hard to miss the place. What with a conspicuously designed name printed on its glass window and right above the entrance. Finding a seat is also not a problem as the dining area is huge and there are plenty of tables and chairs. I liked Wingstop even before I tasted their food. The reason: Their food choices are few. You'll not be overwhelmed by different options or types of food. Their menu revolves around chicken wings. Since their Makati branch is fairly new, I imagined that customers would take a long time to decide what to order. But it didn't take long for the people ahead of me to finish their transactions at the counter. It could be that everyone had already tried Wingstop and knew what to eat or it could be that 7:00pm is not a good time to eat wings (are you kidding me?). Since I was on my way home, I decided to have my orders in a takeaway bag. I simply wanted to sample their wings so I got a 7-piece order of wings with two flavors - Garlic Parmesan and Louisiana Rub. Both taste great but I liked the Louisiana Rub better because of its sweet and mild spicy flavor.

Recently a new diner opened in our neighborhood; Chicken n' Chops. The main branch is located in BF Parañaque and we're lucky enough they've expanded their business in Las Pinas. Since I was yearning to eat chicken one day, I found myself standing in front of the diner searching their menu for the supreme chicken on the list. Their menu comprises of specialty chicken, pork, fish, vegetables and preorder noodles. The staff recommended their best seller, the Hainanese Chicken (Php320.00/whole-no half order) but I preferred their Buttered Fried Chicken instead. (Php 150.00-half order) It's approximately 12pcs of crispy, breaded, buttered chicken sprinkled with bits of toasted garlic. It was well seasoned and they have homemade gravy that complimented the dish. Overal,l it was a good experience, the place was simple, clean, well maintained but can only accommodate 10 customers at a time so you can't bring big groups to hang out here.

The crowd eventually lessened as several minutes went by but there were still a lot of customers. FOOD We tried the 3PC Chicken Tenders and the 1PC Chicken and both had different textures especially on the coating. Tenders were typically good but the Bold BBQ dip was the star flavor in this combo; tasted really good! 1PC had tender white meat and a really thick coating, which tasted good but made the chicken actually look smaller. Biscuit was just as good as before and still somewhat plain, which I totally appreciate. At first, I thought the flavor was infused into the biscuit but turns out you put it in like you would with butter. Our flavor was honey but the experience of placing it in the biscuit was more interesting than the actual flavor. Spaghetti had a sweet and subtly unique taste. Fries had a nice and crispy texture. Among our orders, I still think only about those good and plain biscuits. SERVICE We had to wait quite awhile because there were lots of customers, and one number was called several times sometime before ours. The customer of that number never came and I was able to eventually get our order. I'd like to suggest that they use a TV screen (unless they have one upstairs already) or a pager to call out the number especially for customers upstairs.

I consider Buffalo wings to be one of my favorite foods, so when someone declares this place to be one of the best wings in town, I had to find out for myself. Frankie's set-up is like the typical wings diner: homey and pleasantly cluttered. I had the garlic parmesan as recommended by the waiter, and the Frankie's Classic Buffalo. As it was the one flavor that took the restaurant's name as its title, the Frankie's classic was definitely the better order of the two. Everything I've been hearing about the place was right; this might be the best Buffalo wings place in the city! The Frankie's classic is a masterpiece, I don't know how many kinds of Buffalo wings I've tried in my life, but this time I think I've found the perfect original no frills wings.

Going further, some places would inevitably prepare the dish better than most. To me, this is Frankie's New York Buffalo Wings. I usually head to Frankie's after a night run. This could get as late as midnight. The place is open until 2 am, and by this time the horrible parking situation at the City Golf Compound would already be more manageable. (Of course, provided it's a not a weekend.) I always get the Classic Buffalo (spicy) with blue cheese dip, and ask for more blue cheese dips. (They charge extra). I like the chicken because of the way the skin has been cooked to a crisp, all the while keeping the meat rather tender; I think it's breaded. The sauce is spicy yet with just the right bite, meaning there is a dimension to the flavor and not just plain crazy-fiery. Like, I can still taste the butter and the vinegar all coming nicely together with the one-two punch of the hot sauce. Oh-yeah! The best part is you don't even have to worry about getting your hands dirty because they give away disposable gloves. To be honest, I don't really use it since I am used to working with utensils in dissecting my chicken, but I just think it's rather thoughtful of them. As my personal motto goes: it's the useless stuff that builds character.

I happened to notice that one of the waitresses was coming out of a small hallway holding a bill. Wait a minute.... there is another dining area past the bathrooms. There are semi-private and private rooms available; but since there were only two of us, we sat in the semi-private room. WE ORDERED: - Ramyun mild - the noodles reminded me of instant noodles. They were ok but tasted better after adding a little kimchi. - 1/2 order Sweet & Spicy Chicken - my favorite flavor here. It was served hot and crispy with a spicy sweet caramelized glaze: finger lickin good! - Complimentary banchan - Fresh and crunchy, perfect compliment to the chicken. The wait staff can't see you if you're in the semi and private room away from the main dining area, they rely on you to push that call button that's located at the end of your table. I appreciate that they come quickly; but you can also stop any of the wait staff passing by, even if they're not your primary waiter/tress. Your can never go wrong with CHICKEN WANGS!!!

Three round, and what it looked to me at that time, puffy pancakes, topped with ice cream with sprinkles and cinnamon on it, like snow on a Christmas day. And that's not the only thing I love here at Flaming Wings. It's called the Flaming Wings for a reason. Their chicken wings, two thumbs up! I prefer their chicken tenders though. Flavour wise, there's no difference between the two. It's just the bones. And me like it when I could just pop it straight ahead into my mouth. Delish!
