When the chicken wings were first served, I could not help but noticed little fried oil blisters on some areas of the wing. Crunchy on the outside but tender and juicy on the inside, these wings are every chicken wing lovers’ dream. We came to find out out that they only offer either the sirloin or the rump on each day.
I was expecting the meat to be tough, but was pleasantly surprised at how tender it was. When the Honey Mustard Chicken ($3.80) was served, I was disappointed with the presentation of the dish. Except for a light seasoning of salt and pepper on the grilled chicken skin, it lacked taste.
The chicken was not exactly the best, and I would have like for it to be juicier. If you are not a fan of Honey Mustard , Coal 3606 also offer other sauces like BBQ , Black Pepper and Mushroom .

We got the Chicken Chop Pasta at just $3.80 , which was value for its price. Ambience at Coal 3606 Coal 3606 is located in the Lawn Food Court of Republic Polytechnic on the third floor.
Given how well some of the food here were prepared, I truly believe that the stall owners have the potential to elevate their food to another level.
