[CLOSED] Chick And Ken

Also had salted egg sauce - decent and a goopy mess. Chicken was ok, not crispy and not seasoned but the sauces can do the work. $10.90 set lunch comes with iced lemon tea and a side (we opted to add on $3 for mushrooms and sweet potato fries). #burpple

Korean fried chicken is a good idea anytime, but especially so on cheat days! This Lorong Telok joint offers a great lunch deal ($10.90), and is a decent 10-minute stroll from Raffles Place MRT Station. The set includes two wings and two drumlets, one side with choices like French fries or rice with kimchi, and iced tea. They only allow you to pick one out of eight flavours for the chicken though, so bring as many colleagues as the flavours you want to try!

Before the bingsoo craze, the food fad in Singapore was owned by another from the same origin - Korean fried chicken. I don't think any place offers 8 flavours of sauce coating other than Chick And Ken. I wish I could taste all 8 on my own, but even just 2 was a challenge to finish. The salted egg sauce fully coated the wings, finger-licking good with the slightly grainy consistency and heat from the chilli padi. The brown sugar was not as sweet as I expected, could afford to be more caramelised, but the lime zest made it quite appetising.

Looking for some unique and value for money lunch spots in or around Raffles Place? Located at Lorong Telok, Chick And Ken's Set Lunch currently offers 8 notable fried chicken flavours that you can choose from as well as regular or premium sides to go along. The sets each came with 2 wings and 2 drumlets and a generous serving of fries. Both of the sauces and fries were good but like many who reviewed, the meat was not deeply flavoured.

In a nutshell: good sauces, not-so-great chicken. The meat was bland, tough, and apparently not fresh, from the way it took quite some effort to be torn off the bone.

I thought the salted egg one would win my vote hands down - still yummy although it was kinda soggy and it would be great if there was more of that salted-egg kick there! 😋😋 #chickandken
