Charco's! Dun ask me why is it called charcos, i have absolutely no idea... Anyway just a brief introduction to this place. Charco's is similar to Kenny Rogers style, roasted chicken, that come in quarter, half or whole, served alongside with sides. On top of this, they have a larger array in their menu, burgers, ribs and kebabs etc...
2 types of Chicken to choose from, not male or female. Its either Charco's style, or the more expensive version, Portuguese style.
The salad bar is very long la... so long that i cannot take the whole row... Many types of salad to choose from... normally you get to choose 3 sides for a set meal. Just to name a few: Egg salad, Potato salad, Avocado chicken salad, tuna salad, caesar salad, seafood salad, bla bla bla salad and so on...
This was taken during my first trip: Half Chicken (charco's) with Chicken Avocado Salad, Seafood Salad and Caesar Salad. The Chicken is Humongous! It is very tender and juicy inside, and the plus point is that it is roasted! (healthier la) The salad comes in a very generous amount also. My favourite will be the seafood salad, which comes with crabstick meat, quite big and juicy prawns. The Chicken avocado salad has little or no chicken, and i have already feedback to the towkay (boss). The caesar salad is not too bad either.
This is my revisit: Darius ordered this. The burnt-look half chicken is the Portuguese style, and he chose Potato salad, seafood salad and one more unknown salad. D
Damage was $13.50
My order! Half a Chicken, with Tuna salad + Egg Salad + Seafood salad = A Happy me!
The tuna salad has some spices inside, but it has quite alot of tuna, makes a tuna lover like me damn happy la. Can you see the white mass at the right corner??? That's the egg salad, lotsa egg whites... save me time from the peeling of egg shells! not forgetting my favorit Seafood Salad!
I like them all! =)
Damage was $11.50, cos charco's is slightly cheaper
Charco's is located @

Goodwood Park Tote Bag...
hidden with 2 boxes of mooncakes - their famous durian mooncake and the assorted snowskin mooncake. The packaging is very nice, 4 big pieces of mooncakes packed in a long box, the box even has a magnetic catch to seal it!
Everything looks so nice... but is it nice to eat?! The answer is NO! Their durian mooncakes used to be durian flavoured snowskin wrapped around real authentic durian. But this year the standard has dropped drastically. Serious! The snowskin is "nua" or soggy, and the durian paste taste more like those long long durian cake which we can buy from M'sia... I dunno if is it that their standard has really dropped, or is it inconsistency in their standard and i happen to kena the lousy batch...
