Korean BBQ Chicken
A particular meal I enjoyed in recent times at a student rate was at the Korean BBQ Chicken restaurant at the basement of Cathay Cineleisure. A fried chicken chain from Korea (the BBQ in the title stands for “Best of the Best Quality"), there’s nothing discernibly Korean about the food served there but, at the student promotional prices they’re offering, who’s to complain?
As i was looking for a solid bite but not a huge meal, I opted for the chicken tortilla meal, which comprised of two slices of chicken strips wrapped in tortilla with some lettuce and cucumber, fries and coleslaw on the side and a drink to top it off. While the the tortillas were a tad cold when they reached my table, the chicken was pretty delicious and the fries were fried just right.
And, thanks to the student promotional price, I got the whole set for less than S$8! Definitely worth the price.
One of my friends went for the Korean charboiled chicken set, which he described as decent if not the best he’d tasted and another friend who just wanted a quick bite went for the col-pop, which is a cute cup in which they have popcorn chicken in a slot taking up half a cup and there’s a hole for the straw to access the bottom half, which is filled with a soft drink of your choice.
While the food wasn’t earthshakingly good, it was definitely a decent meal and, coupled with the fact that the service staff were friendly and that the total meal cost us barely $20 on a Friday night in town, Korean BBQ Chicken definitely left a good impression.
