Yay! it’s Saturday! it’s payday! how I wish we had more Saturdays in a month like every other day?!
In order to get connected with the outside world, it’s my habit to go out every Saturday because online freelancing really isolates me with the world out there. So, I had the day spent with my good old friend Chona.
I was really looking forward for this day because Cho and I agreed to embark on a mini adventure to satisfy our cravings with Korean food. It was really my idea but I got her approval in a sec.
Just an idea, I worked as an online English tutor a year ago so I got this little knowledge about Korean cuisine, though, most of them are strangers to my taste buds. I never liked kimchi so I crossed it out on my list. My real goal today was to be able to eat Duk Boki. Well, I got no idea with how it really spells but you can get the idea with that.
A year back a delightful Korean parent visited us in our office and cooked the sumptuous meal for us (tutors). That was my first encounter with Duk Boki and it was the very first Korean dish that lauded by my taste buds. Ever since, I wondered when will I be able to eat it again.
So we went to the known Korean Town in Angeles City. Cho and I decided not to commute rather walk and visit some of the stores that we passed by. That has cost me 3 packs of seaweed and a never before had pelvic pain. I realized I’ve never had such a long walk for quite a while. I swear my hips are like killing me right now.
We had seen a couple of restaurants and food houses but we are reluctant to barge in due to unfamiliarity. Anyways, we randomly end up with this small food house named Crowing Chicken along Friendship Highway Extension just blocks away from Timog Park Subdivision (First Gate). It was beside a mini Korean grocery store.
So, let’s get started with the real purpose. We were welcomed by the friendly male filipino staff (who happens to be honest too), yes the crew were pinoys. I was so excited to see Duk Boki on their menu. It was available for P250 and already enough for 2 people (in fact, we were really full with only one dish on our table). The dish was served within 15-20 minutes, had to wait a little long but time flies when girls talk. Finally, it was served nice and warm with radish cubes along .
The final verdict..It was a great meal, I came for Duk Boki and I had it. The taste was similar with the one that was cooked for us by the delightful parent. No objection. Also, I was also pretty surprise with how I enjoyed the radish cubes. I honestly thought we’ll just leave it the way it was served.
Also, I had to commend the male waiter who ran for us outside to give us our change. Well, it was suppose to be a tip for the awesome food- our meal cost P350 but I accidentally gave P500 instead P400 (I didn’t count the hundred bills one by one, silly me). I was really grateful with his act, it’s not everyday that you met such honest people.
I’ll definitely go back soon. Haven’t tried their specialty yet. Got this tasty rumor about their chicken meals.
(FYI, I wasn’t paid to write about Crowing Chicken’s Duk Boki, I’m just sharing my Spicy Saturday experience. Walang basagan ng trip! Peace ya’ll)
