WING BITES: UNLIMITED WINGS AND RICE

Wing Bites in 2F Torre De Santo Tomas
DISCLAIMER: We judge based on our own criteria!

The unli-chicken wings craze is still very much alive when it comes to students who are on a tight budget. Especially if it's PHP 215 for unlimited wings and rice and with over 9 flavors to choose from! Wing Bites is a good place to satisfy this chicken wing craving! They also have a PHP 299 deal for unli wings and rice with bottomless iced tea. Sweet! Lucky for them, we were craving for the delicious taste of deep-fried wings today.

Wing Bites shares their space with Sbarro
Wing Bites is located 2F THE ONE, Torre De Santo Tomas, España, Sampaloc, Manila. They had no available parking areas around the building as it was inside a dormitory for students, but it is an easy location to commute to as it stands in front of UST along España! Jeepneys (going to Kalaw, Pier 15, Quiapo from north, and SM Fairview, Welcome Rotonda, Project 2-3, Project 6, and Project 8 from south), uvs, and buses are accessible in order to commute to Torre De Sa to Tomas. The space was a little small especially if you're accommodating a lot of hungry students, the setting was like a food court since it was an open dining area, but they have some long tables set-up near their stall which makes it easy for their staff to cater to your hungry needs. You have to pay for the deal upon ordering, and we had to pay fast because students were coming in quick, and it takes a while for them to cook and serve the chicken. Their staff is very attentive when it comes to your customer needs, they quickly gave us our own pair of plastic gloves and our bone bucket, the rice was served after shortly as well but we had to wait for a couple of minutes for the chicken wings. Their staff was accomadating so we had no trouble asking for our next batch! 

Dining Area for Wing Bites
The real reason we came here was for the highlight of their menu, the chicken wings! 
From Left to right: Blazing Hot, Classic Buffalo, Sweet Sriracha, Honey BBQ

For your PHP 215 deal, it's affordable for the common unli-chicken wings and rice, what's great about ish they had 9 flavors to choose from: 
- Blazing Hot
- Classic Buffalo
- Honey BBQ
- Mango Rojo
- Parmigiano
- Maple Mustard
- Soda Pop
- Sweet Sriracha
- The Zing

We didn't get to try all of them, but the Classic Buffalo and Sweet Sriracha was a favorite. The Sweet Sriracha wasn't too spicy, while the Blazing Hot stood up to its name! They didn't coat the wings with the sauce like others usually do, they just poured it over the chicken which made the flavor unevenly spread on the wings. For most, they put the wings on a tray like in the picture, which made the sauces kind of mixing in together. 

NOTE: the Honey BBQ has a watery sauce so it will get mixed with the other flavors.

The wings weren't too small and had a good crunch on them when you bite into it! It wasn't really greasy as well! That's a plus point! But one thing we noticed was that the chicken seemed to have a few unplucked hairs (or feathers) on them, which kind of turned us off, but nevertheless, the wings were tasty fine! The coating on the chicken wasn't too thick and the wings weren't dry, so when you bite it you still get a juicy flavor on it that satisfies the taste buds. Wing Bites truly is an affordable find especially for students!
