Chimaek Dining Experience at Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory, Pavilion KL

Do you love Korean fried chicken? If yes this will be a double bonus for you because Chir Chir is not any ordinary Korean fried chicken. The best part is that their portion is generous that is meant to be shared among family and friends. Chir Chir (pronounced as Chi-ruh Chi-ruh) derives from the tantalizing sounds of bubbling oil when chicken is placed in a deep-fryer.

 Chir Chir is known for its signature freshly cooked chicken dishes that are fried only upon order and each dish is paired with propriety sauces and marinade using all the ingredients from Seoul. The flavours are consistent in all Chir Chir outlets over 100 restaurants and counting across South Korea, China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore and now Malaysia. Let’s eat!

Crispy Fried Chicken, RM49.90

Crispy Fried Chicken, RM49.90

Crispy Fried Chicken is Chir Chir signature dish and is a must order. There are 3 flavours available such as Original, Spicy and Garlicky. By the way, you only need to top up RM7 to change half portion of the chicken to spicy or garlicky. All the three flavours has its own unique taste.

I would suggest you to go for the mix, I personally like the spicy fried chicken.  Crispy fried wings in Chir Chir’s special hot sauce and topped with fragrant almond flakes. The spiciness level is moderate and will only start to build up after the second piece of Spicy Fried Chicken.

Garlicky Chicken Tenders, RM48.90

Garlicky Chicken Tenders, RM48.90

Boneless chicken tenders in Chir Chir’s special soy sauce with fried topokki (rice cakes), sweet potatoes, wedges and topped with crunchy garlic flakes. Chiledren would like the Garlicky Chicken Tenders because its boneless, crispy, and fragrant. I like the fun combination of the fried chicken with sweet potatoes and wedges. However, I find the fried topokki is a bit hard to chew, perhaps its meant to be like that.

Honey Butter Chicken, RM56.90

Honey Butter Chicken, RM56.90

This is a winning dish and one of the must order. I love the extra crispiness when the chicken skin is glazed with honey butter sauce. Every bite is so satisfying and most people like this flavours because it has a hint of sweetness and goes well with Chir Cream Beer. This would be the perfect for happy hour. Chill Chill at Chir Chir!

Crispy battered chicken with potato wedges and fried topokki (rice cakes) glazed with Chir Chir’s proprietary honey butter sauce and finished with honey butter seasoning powder including dried cranberries and slices almonds accompanied with honeyed mayo garlic dip for that extra kick.
