Chowking is suddenly one of my favorite fast food places nowadays! I recently tried their new Orange chicken and love it. It reminds me of one of my favorite dishes, General Tso’s chicken which I have for around US$ 12.00 in New York and at Chowking I can have it for P 69.00 🙂 Just make sure it is crispy!!! YUMMY!
and even if I did not get to dance the chicken dance I made sure I had a photo with Echo!!! 🙂
In the middle of a long day at work or after a tiring 9 to 5, perhaps nothing can sound more enticing than treating yourself out to a nice, special meal instead of eating your regular, home-cooked fare. But don’t you just wish there was something different and exciting in restaurant menus to shake things up? Well, wait no longer – because at Chowking, there’s something oh so new and oh so delicious to wake up and titillate those tired taste buds!
From the country’s number one and pioneering quick-service Chinese restaurant chain comes the your favorite juicy and crispy chicken now with an orange twist! It’s Chowking’s new OH!some OH!range Chicken: chunks of juicy, premium meat that’s crisp on the outside and tender on the inside; richly flavored by a masterful blend of Chinese seasonings and generously topped with a tangy, amber-colored glaze and real mandarin orange bits.
Whether for lunch or dinnertime, you can finally forgo your usual fried chicken without sacrificing the familiar feel and quality that loyal Chowking customers know and love. And like the rest of the appetizing and affordable dishes being offered by the chain, the recipe for Chowking Orange Chicken is tailor-made to please the specific demands of the Filipino palate and comes specially prepared in the kitchen of expert, Gold-certified chefs; ladled hot and fresh upon order onto your waiting plate.
So delightful is this orange twist that it shares the limelight in Chowking’s new campaign with none other than celebrity endorser Jericho Rosales and his OH!some OH!range dance moves!
With his contagious dance move mapapasayaw ka when you get your hands on the oh! so juicy, oh! so sweet and spicy, and oh! so orange-y savory morsels.
Indeed, part of the appeal of this new offering is that it requires no special occasion for it to be enjoyed. However, there is actually a real cause for celebration as Chowking marks its 25th outstanding year in the foodservice industry!
From a single store in 1985 to over 400 branches around the Philippines, United States, United Arab Emirates, Indonesia, and Middle East, Filipinos today are never far from a rewarding dining experience at a reasonable price.
