Yes, K-Pop and korean dramas are taking Singapore by storm. The number of Korean food chains are also beginning to infiltrate our food spaces. Chicken Up is definitely one of those modern Korean cuisines that has landed on our shores. We first discovered Chicken Up as a stall at Kopitiam in Jurong Point and we fell in love with them. Last year they opened a proper restaurant along Tanjong Pagar Road! Not your usual traditional Korean cuisines and not quite KFC, Chicken Up definitely has its uniq
Not your usual traditional Korean cuisines and not quite KFC, Chicken Up definitely has its unique tastes and flavours. Apart from the fact that Chicken Up serves Korean Dim Sum as one of the side dishes, it also offers free salad and pickles to all patrons. The chicken is served spicy or spicier, Korean chilli style! There is also fried chicken with ramyeon (korean ramen). I must of course wax lyricals about the chicken itself. Crispy on the outside, soft and delicious on the inside. No toughness or dry chicken meat. It is as good as it gets, and I'm usually not a fan of fried chicken! Our favourite is definitely the "Suicide Beer" that is an awesome 1.5L mug of heineken beer on tap because nothing goes better with fried chicken than a cool mug of beer!
Of course, you can tell how authentic it is by the fact that the owners and waiters are Korean and most of its patrons are Koreans! Korean programs play on the TV and you can imagine yourself in another country! The best part of it is how the Koreans are so thoughtful that they provide a small little pail for you to discard your bones during your meal! Tanjong Pagar is now becoming a mini Korean enclave as many of the Korean restaurants pop up and Korean patrons swarm the area. Definitely a must try. The price can be a bit steep but it's worth at least one try.
