Filipino food is probably my favourite international cuisine, with its delicious mix of Asian and…read moreSpanish flavours, and while their fast food is much more American-ized than their more traditional stuff, it's its own little niche that deserves some love too! McJolly was started by Filipino immigrants who became restauranteurs in Halifax and takes its name from two of the most popular fast food chains in the Philippines. No guesses are needed for the prefix, but the second part may be less familiar for Maritimers - Jollibee. They're only just starting to expand in Canada, with about 30 locations across the country, and are known for their assorted menu of fried chicken, burgers, and Filipino-style spaghetti. The menu at McJolly is much the same, and I had the fried chicken section in my sights. I went for Comb Meal #3 - fried chicken, rice and your choice of coleslaw or corn (I chose the latter). I thought I was getting a lighter meal than some of the combos that have both rice and spaghetti, but when my tray was in front of me, the *four* pieces of chicken (two drumsticks and two thighs, go Team Dark Meat!) said otherwise! Hilariously, I was in a bit of a rush to get to a job interview, so I had to inhale this meal and couldn't quite give it the attention it deserved, but there were really only four different items - the chicken, steamed rice, corn and gravy. I won't play coy and leave it until the end of the review - the chicken was awesome! The coating was super crisp, and the meat within was moist and tender. I do wish Filipino fried chicken had more seasoning to it, but hey, well executed fried chicken is still a wonderful thing! The gravy had a pleasant peppery kick to it, and I slathered it over both the chicken and the rice. The small cup of corn was a bit of an afterthought, and I probably should have gone with the coleslaw on the off chance that it would be a vinegar-based dressing to have something to cut through the rich chicken, but it's likely mayo-based anyway. I love that Filipino food has really been blowing up in Halifax the past few years, and I'll definitely be doing a deep dive into it all, including a return visit to McJolly for the spaghetti next time!

Ok so the KFC business has been crazy since Covid- now you can't call the store to order- it most…read morebe prepaid- that's fine though. Anyway I was not much of a fan of the quinpool rd location in the past regardless, but now based on location they choose the closest one in the app- I will say I've had pretty good customer service experiences with the store when I had a concern as the number is right there- the app itself could use some work- They usually always include an extra piece of chicken and yes may be to size but that's always a nice little find- and today I saw free poutine with an over $25 order on the app- and it didn't give a promo code or say just include it to be comped so when I last looked it says offer applied, when I verified with the store it wasnt there so the customer service number was the store they provided and the person didn't know- anyway long story short they applied it but informed it needs to be added as in add the deal button which I didn't see at first so that was very nice- a d the lady on the phone was greatly helpful- and the chicken looked good from the pieces to the tenders to the popcorn chicken for me and my family.

Stopping by for a quick bite after work and before a trivia night at a taproom that didn't have hot…read morefood, Turbo Chicken checked the box for quick eats that weren't an American chain. I kept things as simple as it gets, getting their Classic chicken sandwich, and upgrading to a combo with a drink and fries for an additional $5. I didn't do any research before coming by, so I was happy to see that they had milkshakes and I eagerly upgraded my drink to get a strawberry milkshake. Childhood nostalgia satisfied: check! There was a smattering of other customers before and after me on a relatively quiet Monday evening, and I got my food quickly. The sandwich is bare bones, and it might have been worth the upgrades to one of the other sandwiches so it didn't look so brown and sad. That said, even with just pickles and the "Turbo sauce", it was a solid fried chicken sandwich! I always prefer dark meat for its flavour and juiciness, but the thick cut of breast held its own. It was a big piece of chicken, eclipsing the bun it was in and the batter had a good crispness to it. The Turbo sauce was your standard burger/sandwich sauce of mayo and miscellaneous condiments mixed together, and added some further richness and a little more flavour, while a few pickles brought some acidity to cut through it all. The milkshake was just about everything you could want in a standard strawberry milkshake - thick, but not too thick, fruity, and a taste-induced teleportation back in time to dinners at diners with my mom. The sack of fries was HUGE - there's a definitely a couple potatoes' worth of fries in there! They were from-frozen, but were crisp and so plentiful, it's impossible to complain. Turbo Chicken is throwing down with more well-known international chains, but with better pricing, variety and quality products, I'd come back for another quick bite anytime.
