Team Bon Chon

By | Foodie, Great Achievements | 2 Comments

Heart2Heart loves Bon Chon!  So happy there are many branches in Makati nearby – Petron Dasma Station, Alpha Land and now here in Bonifacio High Street Central!

We arrived at 1130am and this is how it was but after 30 minutes the place was jam packed and with a long line outside the door!

James and I were so happy and honored to meet the very young, handsome and single 🙂  owner of Bon Chon!  Scott Tan!

He is only 30 years old and he runs almost 30 stores of Bon Chon in just two years!!  Amazing!!!  And he is working on many new projects which will hopefully be announced here too at H2H!  It was a Saturday and he told me that he has R & D meeting and food tasting in the afternoon after our lunch and he usually does his rounds to the stores on Saturdays!  No wonder he is so successful!

We ate so much that day!!  Bon Chon has expanded their menu into so many new food choices.  And Scott is very much involved in R&D.  He says that the mother company is not strict and that they can add whatever they want in the menu.  Which is perfect for him because he is very creative and innovative

Bulgogi was just a special offer at one time but because customers were requesting for it, they kept it on the menu

This is my favorite!! I asked him if he will venture into having other flavors like the other wings restaurants have, he said no, he will stick to the concept.  I was hoping for my garlic and parmesan wings 🙂
