ICG Chicken & Burger is selling Korean fried chicken and had its first stall established at Balestier Food Center. It is now opened in West Mall, right at the entrance of the mall. There aren't many seating space available as most people usually do takeaways.
Specializing in Korean fried chicken, there is a wide variety of different flavoured fried chicken to choose from. From the original crispy fried to the saucy sour cream chicken. There are 3 sizes available for the chicken tenders: small, medium and large. Small consists of 6 tenders to the large size of 16 tenders.
We opted to try their highly recommended sour cream or rather creamy onion tenders at $7.90 for small. The chicken batter is lightly fried and it does not give a heavy oil taste. Topped with onions and homemade sour cream, these chicken tenders are addictive! We love them. Besides these lovely chicken, there are burgers and other small sides.
We will definitely be back to try the other flavours and items, thus do stay tuned for more of our reviews.

9pm Kkochi, a Seoul street food stall from Myeongdong, has setup its debut stall at Causeway Point Woodlands selling a variety of meat and balls in skewers and of course not forgetting the all popular tteokpokki.
There are 4 standard sets that one can choose from and prices range from $5.90 to $8.90. We opted to try their Set C which comes with regular chicken, chicken ball, pork zigzag and dumplings.
The staple can be either ramyeon or rice. We opted for their spicy ramyeon. We love their chicken balls which are juicy and crunchy. The rest of the skewers are average tasting but thr ramyeon was good. Love its springiness. Overall would rate the set 3.5/5.
We would probably try their tteokpokki the next round as they look simmering hot and delicious in the pot. As for the meat skewers would prefer the japanese yakitori over it. There is no place to sit and eat so rem to find seats first before da baoing.

Located in the quiet Grantral Mall at Clementi, K Toast is opened by a humble middle-aged Korean man who puts in great effort in making the toast. The toasts looked very much like those sold at Issac Toast but at a more affordable price.
There are few seats along the walkway opposite the shop for dine-in customers. Fortunately there wasn't much crowd on a Sat morning. Their highly recommended toast will be their hot bulgoggi/bulgoggi toast and chicken toast, both priced at $4.90 each.
The hot bulgoggi/bulgoggi comprises of a slice of juicy beef patty topped with sauce, pickles, egg, cheese and shredded cabbage. The toast are panfried with butter as well. The chicken toast is the same except for the patty.
One bite into the toast sent the sauce oozing out from the toast. We personally felt that there wasn't much buttery taste on the toast and a little too saucy which made the sandwich too sweet. We are more inclined towards Issac in terms of taste. Probably the toast originally tasted better with the owner's skill but now the shop has been tended out to 2 young students to handle.
Though their toasts wasn't as good, we must give praise to their coffee. Their Americano and latte deserves 2 thumbs up with pricing at $2.50 and $3.20. Its very fragrant yet not overly roasted.
Overall, for an affordable toast for breakfast, K Toast is definitely a place to try. Hopefully they are able to attract more crowd.
