Happy Thursday! It's a beautiful clear day and evening in Vancouver. There's no rain! Hubby and I decided to take a walk and find ourselves near City Square Shopping Centre. We grabbed dinner at Five Star Fried Chicken for the first time and tried their Cheesy Chicken Poutine which is part of La Poutine Week 2023.

The gravy on the Cheesy Chicken Poutine was warm and salty, which is an excellent contrast to the colder cheese curds. Also, the chicken was a bit crunchy compared to the soft, soggy fries soaked in gravy.
Below is the description of the poutine on the La Poutine Week 2023 website:
Cheesy Chicken Poutine
We serve our unique cheesy chicken poutine which made with our signature crunchy fries and fresh gravy, you will also be able to enjoy our spiced fried chicken added in small pieces which we prepared with mixture of 17 different spices and marination of good 26 hours before cooking, the addition of cheese curds will boost the taste to its extreme level. We double the layers of every ingredient used so you can enjoy every bite all the way to the end.

We also ordered a Star Combo which includes 2 pieces of fried chicken, fries, and a drink. The batter was thicker than other fast food chain fried chicken, but the inside was well-seasoned and juicy.

Again, my Filipino-ness came out when I told my hubby that I wanted to eat this with rice and gravy.
