Justin's Fried Chicken (JFC)

It is now the FIFTH day that our boiler has broken down. No heating. In the middle of winter. Wonderful, just wonderful. We've actually seen our breath fog up IN THE HOUSE a couple of times! A very depressing sight. Repeated pleas to the housing agent has brought back replies of "We will deal with your problems in order of seriousness." But surely NO heating in this cold weather is enough to warrant emergency status??? Then again, these are the people who suggested we open our windows (IN THE MIDDLE OF WINTER) to get rid of excess moisture in our flat. Whee~! I've taken to wearing a coat and scarf IN the house, as sad as that may sound, heh. They're promising to come tomorrow though, so hopefully we won't be in this situation any longer.

But anyway. Enough ranting. Today, Justin decided to do yet another version of his Chicken in a Chicken series (together with Five-Spice Chicken), only this time he added a lot more Sainsbury's Chicken Seasoning. The resulting chicken was much more flavoursome than his Chicken in a Chicken, and looked very pretty, almost like fast food chicken! So I (jokingly) suggested that he set up a fast food chicken place called "Justin's Fried Chicken", although this chicken, of course, was not fried.

But Justin (who is a potential investment banker and takes all things to do with finance and business very seriously) replied that it would not be a feasible business plan as there are already a lot of fast food chicken stores out there, and the competition would be high. Um, right. *SNORE* I wasn't serious about the suggestion at all, sigh. He also said that when you think of fast food chicken, people almost always think of KFC.

Is that true though? Here in the UK, when I think of fast food, I think of Quigley's (a halal fast food store in Bristol) because obviously, the KFC here is not suitable. But even in Brunei, I don't really eat at KFC all that much. I like their chicken, but I would prefer something like TPH's butter chicken instead. (Yummy!) In terms of fast food, I would most likely think of Express instead - their chips are drool-worthy! Something I can't get here at all, heh. But apparently, KFC is more popular in Malaysia, which is true, I guess. One of my friends ate KFC almost every week during the summer when she was back home in Malaysia! (Yes, not very recommended, health-wise :P) But then, KFC in Malaysia is much cheaper than KFC in Brunei, so I suppose its a cheap meal.

I still prefer TPH though. One of my favorite restaurants :D Or perhaps Kaizen Sushi's garlic-fried rice and tori teriyaki. And of course, Express just for their chips, hehe. GAH! I want to go back Brunei and eat all those! Maybe I shouldn't have started thinking about them, hehe. Oh well. 6 more months! :D

Quote of the day: Avoid restaurants with names that are improbable descriptions, such as the Purple Goose, the Blue Kangaroo or the Quilted Orangutan.
