Chicken Up (Jurong East)

Korean Fried Chicken is all the rage in Singapore right now with restaurants popping up like popcorn chicken. I must say, the Korean method of double-frying the chicken and adding addictive sauces has transformed the humble fried chicken into quite something else. After having tried 4 Fingers, the Korean Fried Chicken that started this craze, let's check out Chicken Up, which many Singaporeans feel is the best Korean Fried Chicken in Singapore.  

 
 
Situated on the ground floor of the Jurong East MRT station, it is right next to the food court. If you are coming on a weekday evening, try to reach before 6.30pm because it can really packed after 7pm. 

 

 
Cup Bab is like the Korean version of the Japanese bento of rice topped with ingredients and sauce of your choice. You have a choice of Ganjang Chicken, Gochujang Chicken and Beef Bulgogi and Gochujang Pork while sauce includes Non-Spicy, Spicy and Freakin Hot. I opted for Ganjang Chicken topped with Non-Spicy Sauce. Fragrant rice topped with chicken pieces and ganjang which is a unique Korean soy sauce made from fermented soybeans. The simplicity of the dish makes it perfect as a take away item to be enjoyed at your convenience.

 

 
The star of the restaurant is their chicken, available in Soya -Salty, Yangnyum (Sweet), Spicy (Really Hot) and Original (So-So) flavours. You can order Wings (4 pieces) or Drumsticks (4 pieces), have your chicken in Popcorn (12 pieces) or as Chicken Ginseng Soup if you looking for something a little more healthy, or simple get a Whole Chicken (20 pieces). I ordered Drumsticks (4 pieces) in Soya flavour (I was told it is one of the most popular flavours, together with Spicy). The drumsticks are huge, they make 4 Fingers' Drumsticks look rather shrivelled and dry in comparison. Chicken Up has adapted the Korean method of removing the fat from the skin and double-frying, resulting in drumsticks juicy with thin and crispy skin. Dipped in sweet soy sauce, it is perfection in every bite.

 

 
Wash your food down with a cup of Korean tea such Honey Ginseng Tea, Honey Ginger Tea, Green Tea or Barley Tea, or choose one of the canned drinks such as Strawberry Milkis, Demi Soda (Apple/Grape), Bong Bong (White Grape), Peach Juice and Pear Juice. 
 
The outlets at Jurong East, Tampines, Dover and Bugis only serves part of the menu. If you want the full works with innovative drinks such as Watermelon Soju or mouth-watering desserts, do visit their flagship outlet at Tanjong Pagar.
 
Addresses, telephone numbers and opening hours of all 5 outlets can be found here. Oh, you can even get them delivered by ordering them on Foodpanda, an online food delivery service in Singapore.

PAUL

PAUL is a renowned family French bakery and patisserie founded in 1889. Bringing with them them the fine tradition of passion for food and French traditions, PAUL gives Singaporeans a glimpse into French culture and tradition through the delicious and visually-appealing pastries and food.       PAUL's Hot Chocolate is not as creamy as I would have liked it but every last drop is made with good-quality cocoa powder.     Lemon Tart With Meringue is not exactly my favourite dessert, but it looked so pretty that I decided to give it a try anyway. However, it proved to be too sour for my palette even with the beautifully flamed meringue.    Croque Madame is croque-monsieur (grilled ham and cheese sandwich) topped with a fried egg. Emmental cheese, cream and ham is sandwich in pain de eie and toasted till a rich golden brown colour. Topped with a fried egg with runny yolk, every bite is filled with delicious goodness.   Address and telephone n...

O'ma Spoon

                        Korean bingsu is a popular Korean dessert comprising of ice shavings and various ingredients such as sweetened condensed milk, fruit syrups, fresh fruits, Korean rice cake and ice-cream. Bingsu is all the craze in Singapore now and Korean bingsu cafes are popping up everywhere like wild mushrooms.                            Besides bingsu, this dessert cafe also serves usual cafe offerings such as coffee and tea. I have been told that their Signature Oven-Baked Honey Bread is very good. The flavours include Strawberry & Chocolate with Ice Cream, Banana & Chocolate with Ice Cream and Green Tea with Ice Cream.     I was told that   Mango Cheesecake Bingsu   is one of the most popular item on the menu. Oh my, it is a sight to behold! A bowl of shaved ice is topped with sweetened condensed milk and freshly-cut m...

Grandma's - Authentic Singapore Food

Grandma's has been around for quite a while now but I only got the chance to try their food recently when the third outlet opened in Suntec City.        I remember having these prawn crackers when I was little. They are so easy and good to eat, I can finish a whole package of this in one sitting.     I don't usually order Malay food, but the Nasi Bukhari looked so good in the menu, I thought I will give it a try. Fragrant yellow turmeric rice is served with golden brown chicken leg which is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Prawns were fresh and succulent but I don't really like the sauce the prawns are cooked in. What really amazes me about this dish is the beef rendang.          I never knew Bo Bo Cha Cha is so such a delightful dessert until I tried it here at Grandma's. The warm and thick coconut tastes so good with chunks of sweet potato and yam. This is definitely comfort food that warms the heart.   Gr...
