Honey garlic chicken

These deep-fried nuggets pack a light, airy crisp so pronounced it can be heard from the other side of the parking lot. That was Impression #1.

Number 2: You know those honey-sesame crunchy candies you can buy at Longs? That’s how sweet this is. Impression #3: Hoo, that’s a lotta garlic! And the chicken? Almost an afterthought, since we were reeling from the crisp and the outer flavors. We do recall the chicken was tender and moist.

Note: A fellow foodie who lives in the ‘hood says last time she had this, she wanted more honey and garlic.

Cost: $5.50 for a mini-bento with one scoop rice and mac salad; 50 cents more for green salad
