Oven & Fried Chicken (Bukit Timah)

Ordered the whole Korean Spicy Chicken and it was huge and flavorful. Good enough for 3 people

-

Insane amount of fries and potato wedges for only $18++! This is a really big appetiser and if you are only visiting with your other half, we would advise you to stay away for this dish as you probably need at least 3 to 4 others to comfortably finish it (the boat is MUCH deeper than it looks from the outside). Do note that the restaurant serves you ketchup by default and you need to pay 50 cents to get a small serving of the spicy yangnyeom sauce (which doubled as our chilli sauce). Otherwise, the fries and potatoes are rather tasteless and there didn't even seem to be salt.

Oven & Fried Chicken didn't accept reservations on a weekend and it can be pretty crowded at meal times so be sure to visit early to get a table!

We also got a spicy option and that was the Yangnyeom Chicken, which we heard was another of the restaurant's bestselling dishes. This was the less spicy version and it was quite manageable although you still get some kick from the spicy-sweet sauce. We heard that the normal-spicy version is really quite spicy and we were wary enough not to order that! 😅

Once again, we got the boneless option and it is great because there are no bones to trouble us. However, the entire surface of each chicken piece is covered thoroughly in the spicy sauce so the exterior is no longer crispy. If you prefer something crispy, go for the restaurant's sweet sauce fried chicken instead!

This is the half serving and it's around 8 or 9 pieces of chicken and it costs slightly over $20++!

We were recommended the soy sauce boneless chicken as it was the restaurant's bestseller! Indeed, it was a great dish as the chicken was covered with a thick and generous amount of sweet soy sauce (probably had some honey mixed inside it as well). The chicken pieces were really crispy on the outside and the insides were truly boneless, which is a great option for those who are lazy to deal with the bones. Do note that the boneless option doesn't come free though and you have to pay $4++ more for it. The soy sauce also isn't spicy and you will need to order some of the other dishes if you are looking for something spicy!

For around $42++, there are around 15 pieces of fried chicken in this dish and it is enough for a group of 4 to 5 pax especially since most of us will be ordering other dishes at the restaurant as well!

The standard has fallen sharply. In the past, the jjamppong used to be spicy and have a wokhei taste. However, this time it was extremely peppery (comparable to a bowl of peppery bahkuteh) and has no jjamppong taste at all. The seafood used to be fresh and plump as well, but it was mushy and not fresh.

Alerted the staff to the peppery soup, and was informed that the chef was aware that he has “accidentally added more pepper”. However, instead of replacing, they added more water and all that one could taste was just pepper.

Advise not to get the jjamppong and stick w fried/oven baked chicken if you are here.

Very disappointed w the food and service.
