Readers would remember one of my favourite all you can eat Korean Fried Chicken places is Kaikai Chicken. I've gone to their St Lucia store many times through the years and was keen to hear that they were opening a store on the Southside. So when Brisvegustation invited me to their launch party at their new Springwood branch, I definitely jumped on the offer.
The inside was bright and cheerful with fried chicken pictures adorning its walls. We were definitely hungry looking at all of that.
There was a considerable drinks menu with alcoholic and non alcoholic options. There was also non alcohol options which can be ordered on a singular or bottomless basis. We were lucky enough to get some bottomless tea and soft drink that night. The menu was the same as their St Lucia store with 12 flavours of fried chicken, a selection of fries as well as some sides and some donuts for dessert. Every time we ordered with the friendly staff, we were given a new form to fill out next time.
Other than soft drinks, they had peach and lemon tea. Both were a little sweeter than I would have liked but very fruity and delicious nonetheless.
First to arrive was the skin on potato and gravy. I didn't really understand why it was skin on however the gravy was pretty flavoursome and the potato was fairly silky smooth albeit heavy and dense. It went well as a small side to go with the fried chicken.
Our chicken came out before long and it was epic. Flavours from top to bottom, left to right were original, yangnyum, honey soy, cajun with spicy mayo, zesty lemon, goroumaru, soy wasabi mayo and Korean buffalo. All the wings were huge and unbelievably fresh. Last time I went the wingettes and drumettes were separated but this time they were served as a whole. The size of these wings were huge, almost on par with a small drumstick and unbelievably moist on the inside. My favourite flavours of the night were the lemon, goroumaru, original and soy wasabi mayo. The batter was not too thick and not too thin but also unbelievably crispy. Definitely a contender for best Korean fried chicken in town.
We also had several fries to share, the top one is nacho fries and the bottom one is takoyaki. These were crisp and I loved the additional flavours on the chips, especially the takoyaki, there isn't anything else like it in town. The portions were small which allowed us to sample more flavours too.
We definitely left room for the dessert, cinnamon jelly donuts. These weren't donuts in the formal sense but battered deep fried jelly sandwiches dusted in cinnamon. These were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I found it to be quite sweet but also very filling and wholesome. Overall we had a really good time and I can't wait to come back soon!
