One of Singapore's most popular bastions for Korean fried chicken has sprung up in the Klang Valley, offering signatures like the soy-coated Ganjang Up & the sticky-sweet Yangnyum Up (RM28 for half a chicken), marinated for 12 hours & served fresh & hot, as crisp & juicy as most customers could hope for, saturated with the saucy flavours of crowd-pleasing Korean cuisine.
Other striking enticements include the strictly-for-sharing Snow Squid Topokki, a cast-iron pan filled with a whole battered squid, rice cakes, fish cakes, kimchi, corn, cheese, fried rice & egg pudding, reaching the bubbling, boiling point at the table, a guilty indulgence that'll feed three to four people for RM68.
The watermelon soju is a textured 'cocktail' worth having for RM48 - it lasted the entire evening for two of us.
