**** Zion Market has moved and Gala did not make the move with the market
I had to drop by Zion Market to pick some stuff up….mainly beef knee bones. Yep, beef knee bones. At the end of my "smoke session" I'll do the knee bones and give them out as gifts to folks who have dogs……the pooches really love the stuff.
Anyway, it nearing lunch time and I decided to grab something to eat. Gala Chicken had moved from their original location in the market, to the spot that Myung In had before they recently closed.
I decided to order the Chicken Wing combination….though in retrospect; maybe I should have just ordered wings.
In terms of wings; this might have been the best I've had at Gala. I'm glad they don't cut into the chicken anymore to test doneness and the batter wasn't too crumbly; like I've had here twice. The chicken was very moist; though it wasn't evenly coated in batter….it was also slightly greasy, but not in a bad way. In terms of seasoning; I still like some hot sauce on the wings….though not the overly sweet stuff that's provided.
Overall; all that rice seemed like overkill to me; they were quite heavy handed with the vinegar in the mac salad; but it was nicely chilled and along with the shredded cabbage helped to cut any greasy tones and richness. And the shredded cabbage made me feel like I was actually getting some vegetables…….along with cutting the richness, it helped to cut the guilt as well.
Not the best wings; but still decent, and better than I'd had here in the past.

nice!
Never put vinegar in my mac salad. Is that something you recommend?
Better than before Kat!
Hi Kobi – Depends on if you like vinegar or not. Growing up; some of my “aunties” used to put a tablespoon or two or to taste of apple cider vinegar or rice vinegar on the macaroni while it was cooling off.
Nice. Waiting for Bonchon to open this fall.
I’m sure they’ll do real well Junichi!
I didn’t know they had mac salad! I liked their chicken when we bought them for a party some years ago. Though probably should have gone with wings and/or drumsticks as we got some with mystery parts or more bones in our batch lol
I tend to like the wings at these type of places Elle…..if you get breasts they tend to be on the dry side. Mystery parts, huh? That doesn’t sound very tasty.
I like the crispy wings!
When they are done right; it’s good Soo….
