OMOnok, Korean in Marikina

Lilac Street is home to a number of dining places that serve flavored chicken, especially wings. I don't dislike wings, but thighs are my favorite chicken parts. Omonok has been operational for more than a year already before I decided to give it a try; I'm not a big fan of Korean-style chicken that's why Omonok didn't appeal to me when I saw it for the first time. I regret not tasting their chicken right away!!! It's soooo good! Their chicken has a great balance of sweet & savory flavors, plus the spiciness is just right. The price-size ratio is also quite acceptable, plus one gets to choose from 3 parts: wings, legs, and yes, THIGHS!!! Oh, and if you're a lazy eater, you can opt to have chicken nuggets. :) I also love their Omo-rice - their version of fried rice, which could already be a meal on its own even without the chicken! They also have a spicily good version of coleslaw as well as delicious fries that are seasoned with salt & nori. As for dessert, they have yummy Korean ice cream like Melona!

Currently, Omonok is only open on Saturdays and Sundays, 4pm-10pm. Actually, sometimes, they don't open at all :( it's because the owner hasn't found a trusted helper yet. So whenever they're open, I make sure to drop by! In the past, Omonok allowed al fresco style dining, but for now, they only accept takeaways (unless you're a friend of the owner hehe). Hopefully this 2016, they'd open their dining area again and open also on weekdays. Fingers crossed!
