South Korean Hip-Hop trio Epik High is going around Manila to look for the best fried chicken.
Making the most of their time in the Philippines, Tablo, Mithra Jin, and DJ Tukutz, the Epik High trio, ventured around the capital of the Philippines looking for the best chicken.
“So we hear the best fried chicken in the world is right here in Manila,” Tablo who was wearing a shirt that read “I f-ckign love fried chicken” said.
Tablo shared that they visited Jollibee, the convenience store Uncle John, and 24 Chicken.
“These three are apparently the chicken kings here,” Tablo said.
They first went to Jollibee, the fan-favorite fast food chain.
“This place is totally a hot spot,” Tablo said. The trio then agreed that the chicken had rich flavors.
Mithra Jin ate the chicken with his hands and said, “Oh, it’s got a nice saltiness.” He also gave some hacks on how to debone chicken.
“The salt level is perfect. The crispiness of the batter is really good,” Tukutz said.
“When it meets the gravy, the flavor is complete,” said Tablo.
“I wish I could take some of this gravy home,” he added. “It was worth flying here for this.”
Then they visited Uncle John’s as they were told that they had great chicken.
“Honestly, my personal taste leans more towards this one,” Mithra Jin said, he also said that it would be perfect with beer.
“I finished it in three bites,” Mithra Jin added. “It’s got a nice kick. It’s definitely spicy.”
Tablo and DJ Tukutz enjoyed the chicken skin and believe it has a great chance of being sold separately.
They then tried 24 chicken and ordered the best-selling Jack Daniel’s and other flavors.
They were ecstatic about the sudden burst of flavors from the chicken and were rendered speechless between bites.
“I wasn’t expecting this flavor, it just hit me out of nowhere,” DJ Tukutz said.
Mithra Jin also said it has a unique flavor.
“I need a beer. This is insane!” Tukutz said when they tried Jack Daniel’s.
Tablo said, “This flavor, I’ve never had anything like this anywhere in the world. This is a completely new taste for me.”
“You can’t eat this anywhere else. It’s definitely worth trying,” Mithra Jin said.
