Taiwan Style Fried Chicken

In March of last year, I published an article about Eating Chicken in TorontoFor this article, I made a selection of different places and their styles to prepare Chicken. But the Food movement in Toronto is always changing and it is very difficult to cover it all in one single article. When I was hanging out with Anna, she showed me a different place, where chicken is prepared as in Monga, Taiwan. Honoring this place, the restaurant adopted the name “Monga Fried Chicken” 

Fried Chicken is one of the most popular snack foods in Taiwan. Monga Fried chicken consists of chicken fillets marinated with honey and dipped in batter and fried. The idea of thick pieces is to keep the juices even when it is fried at high temperatures.  In this place, the Monga chicken is presented in 5 flavors: in the picture below, we can see one of our selections: Misty Chicken accompanied with Large fries and Fruit juice (we recommend to try their selection of natural juices.




We tried the Chee-z, a chicken fillet with a slightly spicy flavor and covered by melted cheese. I loved this one.





But following the Chinese tradition, they offer also a selection of Baobao (from Mandarin, Bāozi or 包子 which is the name of the steam stuffed bun). I decided to try the classic version, filled with pork belly and pickled vegetables.




Anna and I, enjoying a nice meal. Thanks for the suggestion
