roughly 50% chicken and the rest soy filler. sheesh.

Badhobz 10-27-2025 11:38 AM

50% chicken seems generous. half the time it tastes like a vegan tofu queef with sprinkle of chicken beaks and toes. mmmm!!! tasty!

spoon.ek9 10-27-2025 11:45 AM

I always suspected it tasted off compared to actual chicken. Hence, I never ordered it.

Claiming to have an iron stomach and having like 5 shits a day is kind of ironic. (pun intended)

just look at the photo in that article, it looks more like bread than chicken. the plate above it definitely looks like normal chicken.

That is so weird. I went to the quiet, off the beaten path, location on Kingsway. Next to Wendy’s and across the street from Metrotown Mitsubishi. Got there at 11:00 am. No big line up. The sandwich came in one of those boxes.

whitev70r 11-05-2025 01:54 PM

Ladies behind the counter will be making these all day long! And only these, I suspect! Nobody ordering anything else.

spoon.ek9 11-05-2025 03:45 PM

I passed the info along to gf and she said it's not that great so she won't go lineup for it lol. I tried.

whitev70r 11-05-2025 03:50 PM

^ dump her. Please cross reference GF and frugal, financial literacy thread in Van Real Estate.

spoon.ek9 11-05-2025 04:26 PM

She's spoiled when it comes to food lol. I'm now part of that problem (at times) but at least I got her to discover the joys of Yaohan food court frugality.

headhunt3r 11-05-2025 10:54 PM

Tried one spicy and one regular. Both okay, but I thought it was too dry. Can't believe that sandwich is $9.49 regular price.

spoon.ek9 11-06-2025 09:15 AM

I remember walking by their poco location and glancing at the menu. It was shocking, to say the least.

MG1 11-06-2025 11:59 AM

I guess it depends on the location. Mine was great. The best one I've had was at the Port Moody location. Might have been the fact I got it for free by joining their club. I wAnder if they still have the Big Mary Mondays. $4.99, iirc.

I ordered a Batter's Box from the Fraser Street location and it was, meh.

I won't be ordering anything for a while. I have so many McDonald's coupons from the book, lol. Now that was a good deal.

rymack 11-06-2025 03:07 PM

The Brighton (Burnaby near Lougheed mall) has whole beef tenderloins on sale . Reg is 69.99/kg on for 49.99 kg. Plus 35$ off per piece.
Dates are best before nov 8 but I wouldn’t worry about that. As long as you take it out of the bag and process it in the next week should be fine.

You need to know how to clean a tenderloin which I’m sure you can find on you tube.

Hi whitev70r's GF,
