[CLOSED] Chickano (Bedok North)

Living in Bedok and tired of having fried chicken from the same few commercial joints and that Arnold's seems a bit too far? Try Chickano, a new local brand of fried chicken that had recently sprouted in the Kaki Bukit neighbourhood. Menu consist of items such as combo meals, burgers and interesting sides such as satay; desserts are also available at the display fridge outside the restaurant. Being in Kaki Bukit also means that this fast-food restaurant is halal-certified; more dining options for our muslim friends! Service is slightly patchy for now as they are getting used to the set-up, and do note the lack of a soda fountain means that Coke is being poured out from a 1.5 litre bottle as of now (go for the Snapple which comes at no extra charge if you are particular about it). Hope that they would grow as time goes on!

Two-piece Combo Meal consists of two chicken parts, fries and a drink (between Coke and 3 variants of Snapple). Coleslaw comes at additional $2.50 as a side. Fried Chicken here is more crunchy than crispy; the batter felt very biscuit-like, though the skin came off from the meat rather easily. Meat was tender and juicy, though the frying made it a bit oily (way better than fast-food joints out there). Fries were crisp and well-salted, but seemed a tad hollow while the coleslaw had a thick-enough dressing and was fresh; also contained fruits which made it slightly zesty and refreshing after a platter of fried food.
