The chicken will come to the house

On Monday l tried to go to Bonchon Chicken and Wee Nam Kee the day they supposedly opened. But Bonchon was out of chicken at 2 PM and Wee Nam Kee was closed for a meeting.
Last Friday Wee Nam Kee hosted a media lunch, which I did not go to because of work, so all those tweets about "kanin pa lang ulam na" and cereal prawns tortured me.
Last Saturday, my friend Harold from Stratworks made it up to me by bringing Wee Nam Kee to the house.
Not only did he bring food for 15 guests, he also brought Mr. Wee from Singapore and his Filipino franchisee Linfred Yap. OK, Jeroen was not prepared for the visit, I had to pry him out of bed.



Last year Jeroen and I met up with Mr. Wee in Singapore to discuss the possibility of bringing in the franchise to the Philippines.



But I guess God has other plans for us. The franchise went to the young entrepreneur Linfred Yap.

And here it is in Manila, well, a rendering of it. I haven't eaten there physically as the place is always crowded.



Here's what we had at home: Hainanese chicken rice, which my son Christian—who doesn't like rice—loved.
I think it's the perfect baby food. I was also thrilled to feed him with chopsticks. (I love my son.)
