Question: what is the best for a super chilly Friday dinner?
Answer: fresh hot take-out!
Once the temperature hits below 10degrees, I don't want to cook simply because my hands get icy cold from washing raw meat or vegetables (cannot use warm water to soak them). So especially on Fridays my laziness will peak and i just want to sit and wait for food to appear in front of me
This is my first time going to Brasas and my friend warned me that it would be busy on Friday evenings so I called to place an order in the afternoon.
I got to the restaurant at 5:20pm and there was a line-up at the order line already. But because I planned ahead I just walked straight to the pick-up line and there was just one person ahead of me . I had some time to look around and I was amazed at how many chicken they were cooking at the back (you will have to go and check it out yourself ). The guy was chopping the chicken at lightening speed too because they have so many customers
Ok back to the food! I got the family pack #2 which comes with two whole chicken, 1 rice, 1 salad and 1 french fries.
For the french fries, you can substitute with round potato instead, which i did and I loved them!!
For the chicken I got one spicy and one non-spicy. Both tasted good and the chicken breast wasn't dry. The spicy one (I only tried a small piece) has a stronger garlic flavour to it. I asked them for the sauce on the side but they forgot. I should have checked when I picked it up.
As for the salad, I got the Italian dressing but they do offer other type of dressings. Salad tasted fresh and they probably soaked the raw purple onion in cold water because it wasn't burning my throat.
The only down side for this meal was that the rice was so so salty..i was hoping to taste more spices and herbs than just salt. I will give it a try again next time.
