Fowl Play: Chicking Left Us Hungry and Disappointed

I recently visited Chicking in Cresta, and to say it was disappointing would be an understatement. The staff were rude and unattentive, which set a poor tone for the entire visit. It was clear they were starving for customers, and I now understand why.

The food itself was a disaster. The chicken was completely tasteless and dry, lacking any seasoning or effort. For a place that specializes in chicken, this is unacceptable. To make matters worse, the dining experience was bizarre. For eat-in, they handed us three mismatched plates that looked like they were brought from someone’s home kitchen. It felt so unprofessional and disorganized.

Then there was the issue with drinks. They gave us a 1.5L cold drink bottle, which is just impractical for a dine-in setup. When I asked for glasses, they brought out dirty glasses that were clearly not washed properly. I had to request they wash them again, and when they returned, they were still wet and not even dried off.

To add insult to injury, right across from Chicking is KFC, with its large, clean seating area that’s always bustling with customers. Chicking on the other hand, was almost empty. Besides our table, there was only one other table occupied. It’s no wonder they’re struggling to attract business.

Unfortunately, this visit left me with no reason to return. For better chicken, better service, and a better overall experience, I’d recommend KFC or any other nearby option.
