Good forCasual, With friends
The queue outside this Tampines mall unit told me everything before I’d even sat down. Good news: the fried chicken lives up to it. The double-fry gives you that glassy, audible crunch that holds even after the sauce hits.
Get the half-half so you can compare the soy-garlic against the gochujang-forward spicy. The spicy genuinely builds — order extra pickled radish. The cheese-corn side is the sleeper hit and disappeared faster than the chicken.
It’s not cheap for fried chicken, but portions are generous and it’s a fun, loud group meal. Go early or be ready to wait 30 minutes on weekends.
Renée’s verdict · 4.0 / 5
A loud, crunchy, crowd-pleasing group feed — just brace for the queue.
