Oven & Fried Chicken at Komtar Johor

PC Saturday, August 24, 2019

Our food exploration continues to our neighbouring city Johor last weekend. We decided to join in the crowd fun during this mid-autumn festival as the shopping malls often offer great deals for mooncake etc at 1/3 the price with the exchange rate to SGD.

There are many restaurants around City Square Mall and Komtar and being fried chicken fans, we decided to try their Korean fried chicken restaurant. Oven & Fried Chicken has great reviews in SG, so this has heighten our expectations a little.

There aren't many customers during dinner time at the restaurant and we could comfortably find seats and eat at our pace.

We ordered 4 dishes in all:

1. Original fried chicken (abt $20sgd for whole chicken) - awesomely fried chicken. Crispy on the outer skin and so tender and juicy inside. Very close to the ones we had in Korea. Goes so well with their mustard and sweet chilli sauce. Rating: 4.2/5

2. Jambalaya fried chicken (abt $24sgd for whole chicken) - another thumbs up dish. Fried chicken marinated with sweet garlic sauce. Could taste the fried chicken even with the sauce. Very very nice. We simply love this dish. Rating: 4.2/5

3. Cheese tteokpokki (abt $10sgd) - sweet and spicy tteokpokki covered with loads of gooey mozzarella cheese. Deliciously good for those who love cheese. Rating: 4/5

4. Kimchi beef stew (abt $7sgd) - with the price, expected a small bowl but was surprised at the huge portion loaded full of ingredients. Very appetizing with the sourish kimchi taste. Definitely one of the recommended dishes to try :) Rating: 4/5

Overall for the price and quality, its definitely very worthwhile to try this restaurant in JB as compared to SG. Other than the immigration factor, do drop by a visit if you have craving for fried chicken. Besides price factor, service is awesome as well.
