The Internet says broasting is a trademarked method of cooking chicken that combines pressure cooking and deep-frying. Kashif, who owns Red Rooster, says broasted chicken is popular “back home” in Pakistan and the Middle East. The chicken is marinated for [...]
Most Taiwanese cafes specialize in bubble tea, but I enjoy them for their lunch combos which are always a terrific value and almost all your food groups are covered.

On the night we were there, two boys kept re-enacting their favourite dives from the World Cup while their [...] In a week where KFC comes up with this monstrosity, the McDonald’s McMinis seem downright healthy. Responding to customers’ requests for more chicken choices, the McMinis are all-white chicken breast (choice of crispy or grilled) on a mini-baguette with a pesto or spicy thai spread.
