LONDON, United Kingdom (The Adobo Chronicles, Berlin Bureau) – KFC, the old, reliable fastfood chain has apologized to its patrons for the shortage of its prime menu item — chicken.

A shortage of chicken has forced many KFC stores to temporarily close shop.

An investigation conducted by The Adobo Chronicles revealed the reason for the shortage: the chicken has crossed the road — from KFC to Jollibee.

Jollibee, the popular fastfood chain based in the Philippines is about to open its first store in the U.K.

Apparently, British chicken find more joy in being served at a Filipino establishment.

Oh, Chicken Joy!

City-wide Hunger Strike Looms in Baguio

F112987A-C7FB-4E45-B424-1C39568186BB BAGUIO CITY, Philippines (The Adobo Chronicles, Manila Bureau) – Hundreds of thousands of Baguio City residents are threatening to go on a hunger strike beginning on March 1 this year.

March 1 is the start of the implementation of a new city ordinance that prohibits fish vendors from cleaning and scaling the fish that they sell at the Baguio City Public Market.

The ordinance is supposed to address environmental and drainage problems caused by vendors offering this free service to their customers.

Most Baguio residents who rely on fresh fish for their daily meals are not happy and so they are orgnizing a city-wide hunger strike that will last until the city government repeals the new ordinance.

”I’ve never scaled or cleaned fish in my entire life,” says one Baguio resident. “It was so convenient for me that the fish vendors always do it for me.”

“This whole thing smells real fishy,” said another resident who goes to the market everyday to purchase fish for her family’s meals.

There Is No P.F. Chang’s In PyeongChang

EE80A055-523B-4460-88FF-48F57B651E19 PYEONGCHANG, South Korea (The Adobo Chronicles, Seoul Bureau) – Hundreds of hungry athletes and visitors to the Winter Olympics have been contacting The Adobo Chronicles asking where in PyeongChang they can find a P.F. Chang’s.

The calls started coming in after ABC News aired a segment titled P.F. Chang 2018. Little did viewers realize it was a satirical piece on the Winter Olympics.

P.F. Chang’s is an Asian restaurant concept founded on making food from scratch every day in every restaurant. Created in 1993 by Philip Chiang and Paul Fleming, P.F. Chang’s is the first multi-unit restaurant concept in the U.S. to honor and celebrate the 2,000-year-old tradition of wok cooking as the center of the guest experience. Since inception, P.F. Chang’s chefs have been hand-rolling dim sum, hand chopping and slicing all vegetables and meats, scratch cooking every sauce and wok-cooking each dish, every day in every restaurant. P.F. Chang’s new Farm to Wok® menu highlights its wholesome, scratch-cooking approach and introduces new dishes and drinks for lunch, happy hour and dinner. Today, P.F. Chang’s has 210+ U.S. restaurants, including airport locations, plus 66 international locations in more than 19 countries across the globe.

Unfortunately, there is no P.F. Chang’s in PyeongChang.

But here’s good news.

There are several P.F. Chang’s locations in South Korea, if you’re willing to make that extra trip out of PyeongChang.
