胖老爹美式炸雞 台中大智店
🚩Location🧭
Located near the intersection of Dazhi Road and Heping Street in the East District of Taichung City, close to the Dale Rog New Era Shopping Center.
🪑About the overall atmosphere🎡
The bright red sign reads American Fried Chicken, and there is no dining space available inside. There are long benches on both sides of the storefront for waiting or resting. This area is also surrounded by many dining establishments, so parking is difficult, but it's fine to park scooters at the entrance.
💰About the pricing💰
Thai-style Fried Chicken $80, Golden Sweet Potato Fries $55.
🍴About the meal☕
The chicken is cut and placed in a square box, alongside a packet of Thai sauce. The chicken has a very crispy skin but is a bit dry, and the bones are quite small. It feels like American fried chicken with a sauce packet presented as Thai, but it tastes a bit like Taiwanese sweet and spicy sauce. I assumed the chicken would be seasoned during cooking, but it ends up tasting like the flavors are not combined, so it's better to just have it plain.
The fries are slightly thicker than McDonald's, but nothing special, and the portion is a bit small.
🤨Conclusion♥
Ordering Thai-style fried chicken at an American fried chicken shop seems to be my mistake. Next time, I’ll just order the plain flavor; this Thai-style is not Thai at all, but the chicken itself is tasty.
