Hailing from Busan in Korea, Outdark's first flagship here is housed in a conspicuous two-storey corner lot in SS15. Dimly lit and sporting a modern wood-and-steel setting, this bustling spot with seats aplenty is made for gatherings. The queues are for their Originate Chicken (from RM39, good for two), tender, boneless fried chicken tossed in a basket with criss-cut fries and French fries. If you like chicken nuggets, this is like hitting the jackpot with a supersized, real-meat version. Order it in the crispy Original or glazed in the sweet-sticky Honey Garlic sauce — side sauces are supplied for an extra flavour boost. For a more holistic experience, share the Outdark Platter (RM88) between two to three. The set comes with fried chicken, seafood pancake, japchae (glass noodle salad), grilled rice cake, kimchi as well as DIY rice balls to keep you busy between bites. On the more exotic end, there is also a dish of Stir-Fried Chicken Feet (RM38) served on a half-and-half bed of seaweed rice and gooey cheese.

Outdark, birthed in Busan, makes it foray into Malaysia with this SS15 outpost. Spanning two floors, the resto is modern, spacious and packed-out! Ordered their signature boneless chicken platter, and it came with a flurry of fries (French, criss-cut and wedges). It doesn't matter which flavour you get because all available sauces are provided with it. But after attempting the ones glazed in Honey & Garlic, I'd say go for the Original so you'll get to have your chicken still crisp and crunchy. Refrain from getting classic dishes like the Kimchi Fried Rice (RM13) or Japchae, which were nowhere as good as the chicken.
