The other night I got together with a couple of girl friends for dinner.  We decided to have our little reunion at the one place we used to hang out a lot when I was still working in TF.  LKG Tower.

     Oh how I had missed this place!

     So you can imagine my shock when we got there around 6:30PM only to find the place near empty.   I was like, what the hell happened???  This place was usually packed with people who either are there to hang out, have a couple of drinks or have their dinner break.  Where did all the people go??

     I soon got my answer.  Jollibee, the one-stop shop that has always been the fallback for every working yuppie in the area, had closed.  If I remember correctly, they moved out of the building and into a newer and better location.  Ground floor, still along Ayala, but accessible to the throng of people milling around the CBD. 

     It saddens me to see how empty the place was.  In fact, it was so empty that I ended up almost losing my apptite.   So anyway, we walked around trying to decide what and where to order dinner. 

     Then kulot goes, "Have you seen the owner of Fowl?" and I was like, "What Fowl?"  She points at a food counter where an organic resto used to be.  Oh.

     She said that the owner of the place was really cute and so to satisfy her curiousity and mine, we ended up eating there. 

     Looking at the menu photos, everything looked appetizing.  After some difficulty, I decided to order their Fried Chicken Steak.  I basically had an idea what this should look like, having ordered this dish from some resto before but I was surprised when I got my food.

     Their version of the fried chicken steak was simply fried chicken strips (generous in size though), dripped in gravy.  The place boasted of not using MSG but heck, with the amount of salt they use in their food who needs MSG anyway?   Everything was salted to high heaven.  The chicken strips, the gravy and even the mash potatoes.

     I don't think I'll be trying out the food there again.  Besides, the owner isn't really that cute.
