Hot Star

Okay let's do some comparison here. Two things that differentiate Hot Star from other large fried chicken are the sauce and the chicken. Their price is more expensive than their competitors. It ranges from Rp.50.000 - Rp.56.000, while market price in Jakarta for this item is around Rp.38.000.

Okay I'll be honest, two of relatively better things that I found in this chicken are:
1. Their sauce. If you choose BBQ or Black pepper sauce, the sauce is liquid-base, not powder. Actually there are pro and cons about this.
Pro: personally, I think it tastes better, more tasty and yummy for fried chicken. Like glaze korean fried chicken.
Cons: since the sauce is liquid, it'll become easier to make a mess. The wrapping paper soon became a bit soggy, and I just don't like it when it became soggy and mess your hands.
2. They don't really chop the chicken.
Pro: it's actually easier to eat since you only need to bite it.
Cons: it's harder if you buy this to share with your friends. And you actually have to grab the wrapping paper in certain way in order to bite it, so that the sauce makes the wrapping paper become soggy quickly.

Now. There are also two things that made me not falling in love with this chicken:
1. There. Are. Bones. Damn, I'm enjoying this chicken until I bit its bone. It's just not pleasant. Just do fillet please.
2. Since this is not a boneless chicken, it just doesn't make sense that it's actually more expensive than their competitors that are boneless. And it's not only 1-5% more expensive, it's around 35-40% more expensive. Why? Why and why? I've seen the chicken, it's actually smaller too compared to others.
