Mario Maurer opens BonChon Chicken

MANILA, Philippines - Frequent travelers who love good food are fans of Korea’s most famous chicken brand BonChon, a cult favorite in the US and the world over. Now the cult phenomenon has formally opened in the Philippines with no less than Thai superstar Mario Maurer.

The Crazy Little Thing Called Love star recently flew in to the country for the first time to do a series of engagements including signing a movie deal with Star Cinema and appearing in a Fan Conference at the PICC with thousands of screaming fans in attendance.

He was greeted by BonChon executives for the ceremonial ribbon cutting with excited fans hoping to get a glimpse of the 22-year-old actor.

BonChon is known worldwide for its extremely addicting chicken, created from a secret recipe unlike any other: Crispy, light, with hot juicy meat flavored with your choice of soy garlic or the hot and spicy glaze. It’s the original highly-addicting formula that keeps people coming back for more.

BonChon celebrates a supremely successful first year by formally launching in the Philippines and opening its 10th store with the charismatic Thai heartthrob trying out some of their delicious offerings such as fish tacos, bulgogi rice, the best chicken sandwich in town, chapchae (Korean noodles) and the hugely popular soy garlic chicken wings.

BonChon Chicken outlets are located at Ayala Triangle Gardens, Greenbelt 1, Libis (Acropolis), SM Megamall, Robinsons Galleria, Greenhills Promenade, Katipunan, Shangri-La Plaza, Taft Avenue and Tomas Morato (Il Terrazzo). It will soon open branches in TriNoma, SM Mall of Asia, Alabang Town Center and Bonifacio High Street Extension.
