Yes, you read that right, you can now have another affordable option for Korean fried chicken at below $10! Southeast Asia’s fastest-growing Korean fried chicken brand, Phat Fingers launched its first retail outlet on 28 October 2022, at the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District at 51 Telok Ayer Street. The new outlet features well-loved Korean fried chicken, burgers, rice bowls and shaker fries, with a selection of Korean beers and sojus.
Launched in 2021 by TiffinLabs as a delivery-only brand, Phat Fingers has expanded to over 32 storefronts virtually across Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, experiencing more than 20% growth in revenue month on month. The launch of the retail outlet serves as an avenue for the brand to strengthen its relationship with its consumers by offering crispy, juicy, and spicy Korean fried chicken to CBD dwellers.
Affordable, Yet Delicious
With the majority of their menu priced below $10, the portion and quality of the food were very worth it. The outlet features curated sauces ranging from sweet & savoury to extremely spicy, such as soy garlic, honey butter, classic yangnyeom, and nuclear spicy.
We had their PSY’s Soy Garlic Tenders and Nuclear Spicy Tenders (6 pieces for $9.99) and they were really tender and juicy. These tenders were easy to eat (they provide disposable gloves) and it was a perfect dish to go with beer or soju, which they serve as well. If you are not good with spicy food, the heat of the Nuclear Spicy ones would definitely make you sweat. The spiciness only hits you all at once a while later, so do not be fooled by the initial mildness like I was!
Their Classic Yangnyeom Burger ($8.99) was my favourite. Again, the chicken was done really well and the pairing with the melted cheese and slaw was a fail-proof combination.
They serve shaker fries as well, and we tried the Mala Fries ($4.50). While the fries were crispy and satisfying to crunch on, it unfortunately did not taste like mala, though it does have a kick of spice. They have other options such as Seaweed and Wasabi too. For those who are on the go, a K-Rice Bowl with Chicken Poppers or Cutlet for just $7.99. It was a fairly simple and healthier dish, with the chicken being the main star.
Phuminant Tantiprasongchai, President of TiffinLabs SEA shares that: “As we usher in a new post-pandemic dining experience, we hope to provide consumers with the full dine-in experience by switching things up with curated menu items available anytime and anywhere. Our customers appreciate that our flavours are 100% true to the nuances of the Chimaek culture, made with fully imported ingredients with no MSG.”
