黑 Rice (squid ink rice, garlic, mentaiko mayo, sous vide egg and PH fried chicken) from Paddy Hills. The earnest chicken couldn’t help but be completely overshadowed by the greasy, comforting and scrumptious rice, which possessed the delectable smokiness of a Simon Road kopitiam wok. 3.9/5 ⠀ This was a…
Bangkok Fried Chicken with green chilli nam jim from Bird Bird. The chicken smells like it had just finished a rejuvenating spa session, whilst elsewhere the green chilli nam jim launches a fiery seed blast which envelopes your tongue with a sharp citric wave – an attack that is, interestingly,…
Sauced Padi Garlic Chicken from Oven & Fried Chicken. Essentially sweet Korean fried chicken caught in flagrante with Two Chef Eating Place’s famous drunken cockles.

Humpback…

Unlike the travesty that was the Hainanese Chicken Rice Balls, this nasi…
Spring chicken from Arnold’s Fried Chicken. Essentially a one-way ticket to Facial Liu Sha Bao Station on the Fatsville Line but dang, it was an epic and memorable journey. The crispy and phenomenally tasty skin was the obvious star of the show, like KFC chicken skin undergone a flavour mega…
Chicken karaage ramen burger. Essentially the love child of a female Singaporean-Japanese ramen and a male American hairy-legged burger who goes for spin classes at the gym. The ramen patties tasted like an interesting crossover between mee goreng and eggy carrot cake, while the chicken karaage was tender and juicy,…
