Chir Chir (치르치르) Korean Fried Chicken at Somerset, Singapore

By this time you guys should have known  that I have a profound love for South Korea.Their pop culture, their make up, and of course their food!

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!!

One of the korean food that I love is their Korean fried chicken. I don't really know why, but Korean Fried Chicken is... somewhat different compared to KFC or McDonalds although I cannot say that the latter is less tasty.

Korean fried chicken has this unique seasoning taste that people cannot get bored of and most of them claims that they are using healthy, low fat chicken. With the increasing concern of healthy food, the hype of Korean culture, and the tasty chicken, no wonder the Korean Fried Chicken is now one of the world's phenomenon. The franchise of this business has spread across nations. 

I have been to and tried couple of Korean Fried Chicken in Jakarta, namely Bonchon, Chili Jeans, Kyochon, Kkuldakk, etc. 

       


This time, I will review my experienced in Singapore, with Chir Chir Korean Fried Chicken. 

One of my very close friend are working and living at Singapore, one of the country with quite large amount of Overseas Korean nearby. They have a lot of good and innovative Korean restaurant. 

Chir Chir Chicken has been a hype recently, following couple of big instagram food bloggers who come for a visit and recommending this restaurant on their blog. 

The restaurant was located at the #B3-04-06 of Somerset mall, in Singapore. 
B3 stands for Basement 3 and I foolishly go to 3rd FL.
FML!

Anyway, the price of the food is quite high, ranging from SGD 26-30++ but the portion is amazingly huge!
We ordered a Salad. I honestly forget the name of the salad, but do not worry, there are not many option to choose from.

The salad is fresh and sourish. It is a good appetizer and it has great amount of chicken in it as well. 
Simply delicious.

For the main course, we are having Garlicky Tenders for $26.90.
It is so good! the chickens come in abundance and they have roasted tokpoki and garlic!
I love roasted tokpoki and even though I dislike garlic, I ate it! 
Simply delicious! *droll*

If you manage to notice, they provide the cute mini-fork/tongs so that you don't need to use your hands on the food. It is quite sturdy and practical. Not to mention cute! Hehe!
The service is spot on and the food is delicious. It worth the price!

My Journey to Trick Eye Museum, Singapore

The Iconic Singapore's Merlion

I went to Singapore during their Golden Week this year, on 7th to 9th August 2015. 9th August is Singapore's Independence day and this year is their 50th year of independence!! There is a big big celebration going on. 

It was a sudden trip, planned less than 24 hours LOL. I feel a bit ripped off honestly as the rental fee for rooms is skyrocketing. I pay SGD 120/ night for a room at Lucky Plaza. 



Anyway, I went to Trick Eye Museum Singapore. I have been wanting to go since I saw the post from eatandtreats last june.

To reach the museum, you need to take taxi, or cable car to Sentosa Island from Vivo City. Take note that you will need a balance of SGD 4 (return ticket) in your EZ link card or you will have to queue to purchase the ticket. 

I highly recommended this museum for you all, vain people! LOL! 

You can buy the tickets online on the website here for additional 20% discount and immediate entry (no need to queue for ticket), you still need to queue when your ticket is scanned, though. 
I saved mine on my phone and show it to the employee at the front door. The tickets look like this and they have barcodes as attachment.

Alright, keep in mind that there will be a renovation coming soon as the email comes with a notice. 


You can find this notice on their website as well, so check it first, before you plan your visit to avoid inconvenience. 

Anyway, lets talk about what's in the museum!! 

Right in the front door of the museum, you can find the Flute man and the Drainage Hole man! I was exited already then!!

What I would prepare if I were to come back are:
* Wear pants
* Come early (less people means less queuing for photo taking)
* Sleep tight to be your best state
* Charge your camera and make sure the memory is enough as well.

Wish you an enjoyable visit!
