BBQ Chicken @ Sunway Carnival

BBQ Chicken - Koren BBQ Chicken is locate at the top floor (same floor as GSC) in Sunway Carnival... its right in between hp shops, electrical goods shops, mini waffle and ice-cream shops.... so if u're rushing to go catch a movie, u're sure to miss this place... so walk slow slow and u'll see it (sorry forgot to take a pic of the front of the shop)... they have seats inside and outside overlooking the floors...
i don't know why, but i just thought i'd give it a try... went there with BC and i was surprised that the menu was kinda quality type... not the print-on-A4-with-colour-then-laminate type of menu, but a decent one...
prices too were... errmm.. decent...



anyway it was lunch time so they had this meal thingy where you choose your main meal (depending on the price) and they throw in a drink, soup AND ice-cream... not bad ah!!! so we took that deal and BC choose a steak (chicken) sandwich or something like that.... which (as u can see the portion is quite big) she couldn't finish.. but there's a reason y.. i'll tell u later....



and i had their signature dish, the Korean Charboiled BBQ chicken... and damn it was good.... it's one of the best bbq chicken dish i tasted.. and not only they gave one piece of chicken-chop type of size, but TWO!!!!! and even u can choose your own side dish!!
ok, so the sandwich i think costs around RM12.90 or so and mine was RM14.90... mind you, we took the set lunch, so it was INCLUSIVE or drink, soup and ice-cream!! isn't the price ok?



ANYWAY..... the reason miss BC couldn't finish her food was because the meat/chicken was very oily... yes, and so was mine... as u can see the pic below... that's the oil from my chicken... i had to scrape it off using my knife to lessen the oil on the chicken.... don't get me wrong, i mean it IS delicious but then, health wise, abit too much oil, the chicken even had fat ooozing out from it. to those who love to eat skin and fat, i'm sure they wouldn't mind this....


i called for the supervisor, and spoke to him AND showed him how much oil we had... he said it had to be like that because of the flavour, if not the chicken would be tasteless - it seems.... u know how they cook it? they take the meat from the marinate (that HAS oil) put it to the grill, once cooked, they dunk it back into the same marinate with the oil and straight on the plate..!!! tht's why la so oily... i told them to try to soak it first on a paper towel, or on a rack thingy just to drain the oil... supervisor was not too keen with that suggestion... then i said to at least try / experiment and see if it makes a difference... AND that it's not very healthy eating oil like that...

*thought we'd get a discount... nada... sigh....

but then again, if u don't mind it, go ahead and eat it, it's lovely... i for sure will go back there again... after thinking twice bout the oil, who knows? they did take my advice?

Its olive oil, so no worries of having too much of it. Lowers heart disease due to HDL content in the oil.

NOW only they're posting up banners or info saying that they use olive oil.. the time i went, there was no indication of olive oil.. hence the review..

guess i can go there again to try it out once more...
