In
recent years, Korean Fried Chicken, also known as another "KFC" has
been gaining popularity due to the K-wave entering Asia. There are many
different recipes for Korean Chicken but all carry the same characteristic
-crunchier and less greasy than the us
It is very common to find Korean Fried chicken outlet in
Singapore but in malaysia?? I have not heard about its existence in Johor Bahru
, Malaysia. Upon hearing the opening of the 22 Korean Fried chicken, I am dismay and over-joyed. With the power of my
puppy-eyes and glib tongue, I managed to persuade my BF to cross the border with me
for it :D .....and of course for other cafes nearby. haha
With
the aim to conquer 22 Korean Fried Chicken, M2escape (read more),
Palladium Café (read more) and
Lis Gelato (read more) which
are situated in the same area – Mount Austin, I have successfully completed my
mission and went even more places. I went to the Cats Café and Zoom Park too.
Do read the individual post for more details.
22 Korean Fried Chicken is the first Korean Fried Chicken
open in Mount Austin, Johor
Bahru. The interior design of this restaurant forms a space which fills it with the industrial style concept which
is in contrast with the foods being served. Inside the restaurant there are also shelves selling Korean products which allows patrons to buy these products after
dining here. However it also imposed patrons
with a challenge of finding a seat for dining due to its limited space.
We went at 1.30pm on a Saturday afternoon. The place was
packed with no indoor seat except maybe 2 benches outdoor. The environment was
so noisy that we literally need to shout across the table to talk to each
other. We proceed to the ordering counter to order our food before securing seats as we believe that by the time we obtain our food, we
should be able to find seats. Yay, Success!!
Since it is a Korean Fried Chicken Shop, of course we decided
that the best selection was fried chicken. Each Chicken Wing Set (4pcs) Set
comprises of two chicken wing (cut into 4 pieces) , wedges as well as a
drink (choice of lime water or orange juice). There are 5 flavours (Crispy,
Garlic, Gangjeong (Sweet), Bul Dak (Spicy), Hot BBQ). Since bf is not a spicy
eater, we wanted to try the garlic and gangjeong flavour. Unlike Four Fingers
in singapore, 22 Korean Fried Chicken does not allow us to mix the chicken
flavours. This is why we are 'forced' to order two sets.
After 15 mins of wait, the paging system finally display our
numbers and our food is finally here - Garlic (Left) & Gangjeong (Right).
We would expect the chicken to be hot or at least warm. But
apparently it was not. Sauce that was spread on the chicken skin was
tad little. Furthermore, the meat was a dry with no marination. It
would taste much better if the juiciness of the meat was retained and more
sauce was applied. Would appreciate if more drink choices was made available.
