On my last visit, I felt that this shop was in its teething stages, since then it has improved.The rude waitress is not there anymore and you are served by Star studded crew which I shall explain later.There is more items on the menu that were not previously there such as the fried chicken, burritos, quesadilla, kebabs and burgers.I ordered a lamb kebab, fried chicken, and roast chicken.The fried chicken was good because there were two versions spicy and non spicy.It was also interesting that they had a beverage called Halo Halo which is Flipino!It would be good if they also offered fries with chicken salt that is served in Australia, because one of the owners is also from Oz.I really liked the aluminium boxes that they used to serve the food, the exact same ones used in the English takeaways.On my previous visit it was the white CFC boxes.Roast chicken:This was very spicy, it was like chicken roasted and then dipped in chili oil and grilled.The texture of the chicken was so juicy, and it has definately improved since my last visit.On my last visit, the skin was ripped and falling off, this time it was intact and grease free!Interestingly on the chicken it had grill marks on it resembling the alphabet, the one on the drummette resembles an "N" and the one of the thigh resembles an "O". So when it was served together it looked like the word "NO"!Fried chicken:I was expecting just ordinary fried chicken, but it was amazing, it is a delicious version of the fried chicken served at the Green Waffle in Central.The difference is that the one here has taste!!It was loaded with spices such as caraway seeds which you could visually see, the chicken was meaty and juicy.It is close to the divine ones I had at PFC in London.Spicy fried chicken:The spicy version was also good too, same as the fried chicken, also big and juicy, both the coating was light.However this one was spicy but not as spicy as the grilled chicken, it had cumin powder on it, which really made it taste nice.Lamb Kebab:It is not the English kebab I was expecting served in pita bread, but tasted better than the Hongkie ones, there was less sauce dripping from the kebab but it was still flavourful.The lamb was thinly sliced and accompanied by sweet purple onions with spices too.Price: slightly more expensive than your average fast food joint but the drinks are fairly priced at $6 per can unlike other places where they charge you $15-$20 per can, and there is a convenience store in close range.English menu: yes, and they speak English too!Service: very friendlyYummy factor: veryMSG levels: did feel thristy afterwardsAnyway just for fun, the staff studded couple (owners) are from the filming industry, lets hope to see more of their productions.Irina Hadjieva - known as Irina Clarkson or Irina Hadzhieva-Clarkson was an art department director for various films and also an assistant direction.2009 The Fourth Kind (art department coordinator - as Irina Clarkson) 2006 The Black Dahlia (art department coordinator: Bulgaria - as Irra Clarckson) 2004 Air Strike (video) (art department coordinator - as Irina Hadjieva) 2003 Air Marshal (art department coordinator) 2003 Alien Hunter (art department coordinator - as Irina Hadjieva) 2003 In Hell (art department coordinator - as Irina Hadjieva) 2003 Disaster (art department coordinator - as Irina Hadjieva) 2003 Rats (art department coordinator) 2003 Marines (video) (art department coordinator - as Irina Hadzieva) 2003 Submarines (video) (art department coordinator) 2003 In Hell (second second assistant director - as Irina Hadzhieva-Clarkson) 2002 Derailed (third assistant director)2002 Run for the Money (art department coordinator - as Irina Hadjieva) 2002 Panic (art department coordinator) 2001 The Order (art department coordinator: Bulgaria - as Irina Hadjieva) Ross W.
