We can never get enough of Korean grub — which is why menu updates at Korean restaurants are always welcomed. At Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory, which specialises in 20 types of fried and roasted birds, new dishes will be unveiled come Apr 4.
The star of the show is the honey butter chicken ($28.90), where pieces of crispy chicken are piled in a heap alongside potato wedges and pan-fried topokki (rice cakes), then smothered in honey butter glaze. If that’s not enough flavour for you, there’s the accompanying honeyed garlic mayo dip for extra zing.
Other new offerings include the spicy seafood soup ($26.90) of clam-based broth filled with glass noodles, mussels, prawns, crayfish and squid, and the spicy topokki ($15.90), which tosses together rice cakes, fishcake, sweet potatoes, crispy fried squid and a deep-fried hardboiled egg in a blazing gochujang (red pepper paste) sauce.
For a snack, order the topokki and cheese ($9.90), where slivers of rice cakes are soaked in a creamy mix of cheese and sprinkled with bits of chicken ham and bacon. Then wash it all down with a double smoothie ($12.90, add $3 for soju) in raspberry, aqua or mojito — these jumbo-sized drinks are a blend of mangoo purée and flavoured ice slushie, topped with whipped cream and rainbow sprinkles.
