[Dining Korean Food in Singapore] Kko Kko Nara Korean Fried Chicken (Tanjong Pagar)
Yes I am back at the Tanjong Pagar/ Tras area for some crispy Korean Fried Chicken (KFC) this time round. I have been wanting to try Kko Kko Nara's fried chicken for the longest time and finally! Just a short 5 mins walk from the Tanjong Pagar Station, this place is easy to locate.
First up! As always, in a Korean restaurant we have the Banchans ( side dishes). Happy with the selections and plenty of top-ups as usual. hahah
We ordered: Bo SSam Set $18.00
The set comes with pork belly BBQ ( already cooked in the kitchen), served with lettuce for your Bossam wrap, a soup ( we ordered Kimchi), a doshirak ( rice served lunchbox- style).
It was meant to be a 1 person serving, but I think 2 or 3 person works just fine if you are planning to order other dishes. I love their pork belly and Kimchi soup.
Next up: Chicken Combo Small $20.00 ( cheaper than dinner by $6 or $8. Go for lunch! exactly the same serving.)
Comes in 3 different tastes, 3 pcs each: Original (left), Garlic (right) and Spicy (red)
To be honest? I was having high expectations as I have long heard they were famous for authentic Korean Fried Chicken. But truth be told?
Actually the taste wasn't as awesome as I had expected. I had tried KFC in Korea and 4Fingers in Singapore but why, I keep linking back to 4Fingers and was thinking how 4Fingers tasted much better and perhaps even more economical.
KKNR's KFC were a bit blah on taste... quite mediocre. The garlic flavor wasn't strong enough for me and the spicy version was a bit too sweet.
Also the chicken pieces were all cut up in different sizes and different parts, so it was a bit messy?
The chicken didn't come in hot and was perhaps just a bit lukewarm to say the least, turned cold in like 5 mins ( after snapping the photos )
Tada! Here's the lovely cuisine, fantastic on appearance.
Still, it was a joy eating at KKNR with great company.
The service was prompt with attentive servers (who are non-Koreans/Chinese) and the food was served readily fast, not much waiting time was needed.
I definitely wouldn't mind revisiting just to try their KFC again, just to see if it will taste different. Haha
Have you tried their KFC before? How did you find it?
