The Best Food We’ve Had on A Trip: Part 2

Remembering a place by food.

“As an foreign student studying in Sydney, it’s hard not to miss Jollibee. This was when my boyfriend and I stumbled upon Arisun, it’s a Korean joint recommended to us by a friend who said we would not be disappointed, and we were not. From the moment we walked in, we felt at home. The staff were efficient and friendly. They were no Filipinos but they were just as hospitable. You could smell the food from a mile away. It had such an enticing smell that our hands dug in straight away like it had a mind of their own.

The unique taste and crispiness of the fried chicken definitely satisfied our craving and longing for Jollibee’s Chickenjoy. The best part is its unique twist — instead of gravy, you dip the chicken in hot cheese. I did not know how it would taste at first but it was a legitimately wonderful experience.

For just thirty-three dollars or one thousand and two hundred pesos, Arisun provides you with a huge bowl (equivalent to two Jollibee buckets) of fried chicken enough to feed two people (yes, just two because you’ll definitely love it so much that you wouldn’t want to share). You’ll definitely get your money’s worth and beyond.” —Amparo, 25
