It is so dried and so hard like a rock. I believe this whole chicken was left over from previous days that they just barbecued again with almost 3\/4 of its surface burnt. It is the worst BBQ chicken I&#8217;ve ever tasted in my entire life.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;What&#8217;s worse is the owner&#8217;s attitude really pisses you off. I&#8217;ll never come back to this stall again.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">However, Max did not elaborate further on what happened.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">A spokesman for Chong Pang Huat refuted the Stomper&#8217;s claims.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">He said in response to a Stomp query: &#8220;The complainant said the chicken is tasteless, but our marinade is the same every day for both chicken wings and spring chickens. We do not have issues from other people regarding our taste.<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;We do not keep leftover food and this is clearly an allegation that cannot be proven. Food leftover from four days ago would be rotten<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">&#8220;I believe &#8216;burnt&#8217; is subjective. From the picture, in my opinion, this chicken is not burnt. The charred parts are the bottom part of the chicken and not on its surface. We usually only trim out any charred parts on the surface of the chicken. Slight charring is, I believe, a byproduct of any food that is barbecued, especially by charcoal.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">Noting that &#8220;food is subjective&#8221;, the spokesman said: &#8220;If any customer is unsatisfied with our food, we will gladly refund them their money.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"font-secondary pt-md text-18 font-normal leading-1.5 text-grayscale-800\">The spokesman said Max can reach out for a refund and added: &#8220;We also apologise for any unpleasant experience.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr class=\"border-t border-primary-200 mt-xl mb-md\"\/>\n<div class=\"flex w-full flex-col gap-md py-md xl:flex-row xl:items-center\"><span class=\"font-primary text-18 font-semibold leading-1.2 text-black\">Get more of Stomp&#8217;s latest updates by following us on:<\/span><\/div>\n<hr class=\"border-t border-primary-200 mt-xl mb-md\"\/>\n<p>Join the conversation<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.stomp.sg\/singapore-seen\/kovan-stall-responds-complaint-about-bbq-chicken-being-tasteless-burnt-and-hard-rock\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A man paid $12 for a BBQ spring chicken, which he said was the worst he has ever had in his life.
