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 usualfried chicken. This is due to the chicken being fried twice. There are sweet or spicy or garlic version of it available in the market.It is very common to find Korean Fried chicken outlet in Singapore but in malaysia?? I have not heard about

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 .....and of course for other cafes nearby. haha
With the aim to conquer 22 Korean Fried Chicken, M2escape,Palladium Café and Lis Gelato 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.
If I was to choose which flavor I like better, that would be Garlic flavour as the taste was
richer.
