Apparently Basasak Chicken is too new for the geotag database to handle despite being in business for a few months. It’s located in the same coffeeshop as the (in)famous Ponggol Nasi Lemak, next to the chicken hotpot stall.

Their mainstay item is their Korean fried chicken (KFC), which comes slathered in seven different sauces. Sauces aren’t the only thing you can choose from, as the chicken comes in 4 different cuts, from the ubiquitous wings to a whole chicken. As a solo warrior denied the option of drumsticks on the evening I was there, I settled for a ménage a trois of wings ($7).

Their fantastically fried wings were coated in a stellar batter that easily surpasses many of the mainstream KFC chains *cough cough Nene COUGH HACK fingers cough*. The generously sized wings were just the right amount of salty, and exorbitantly crispy even down to the last one. I ordered them dipped in Basasak’s Sweet Spicy sauce, which is the second spiciest sauce available. It was cloyingly sweet, but there was a good amount of spice behind the sauce and it made for a sticky good time.

Basasak doesn’t just do krispy KFC that’s devilishly delish, they’ve got army stew and tteokboki for 2 along with a small squad of sides. So round up the lads, and head on down to Basasak to krack away at their KFC.
