Hi Whatsup!
Chir Chir (pronounced
as chee-real chee-real) embodies the ‘Chimaek’ culture of Korea, a popular
concept of combining fried chicken while drinking alcohol. I was first
introduced to this brand while I was on a holiday in Singapore; it was easy to
spot the place as it was littered with people in line waiting to be called in. Chir
chir’s name actually comes from the bubbling sound the oil makes when the
chicken hits the deep fryer (ooh even the names is mouth watering!)
The Korean
very famous version of fried chickens has finally arrives in Jakarta and my tummy
rumbles with excitement! The franchise giant with 100 outlets under its belt
decided to make its mark here in town, located at Pantai Indah Kapuk, Rukan
Garden House with its iconic chicken barn and eggs as exterior.
Bringing
along what seems to be ‘a thing’ to dine at Chir Chir is the 45 minutes of
waiting in line to finally have a table. The staffs were very accommodating and
worked extra hard to caters the hungry diners after a long wait (though they
should hire more staffs for efficiency sake). The interior, resonating the
exterior, was filled with more eggs and chickens with cute inviting murals. Pricing
wise, it is actually cheaper than its Singapore branch yet I would still consider
a little on the pricy side.
So these are the menu I had :
Cheese Fries _ IDR 69K
French
fries topped with combinations of melted Cheddar and Parmesan cheese just
simply divine. The saltiness of the fries gave the right amount of savories and
elevated by the generous amount of cheese is simply something you must try. The
price of the dish might surprise you however I might have to say the ample
amount of fries and cheese might make you a little bit more forgiving. Do try
the white yogurt sauce that also comes with the dish. YUM.
Mac n Cheese – IDR 69K
Another
favorite cheese dish on the menu, it is a quite iconic dish to the restaurant,
the Soft cream sauce and cheddar cheese covered macaroni is one of the must
try. I would have to say is a good appetizer dish, cheesy yet not filling, to
wait for the bigger main course dishes.
Fried Chicken – IDR 159 K (half original half garlicky)
Moving on to why I came to the restaurant in the first place, the fried chicken. This is literally a whole chicken served to the table with choices of original, spicy or garlic for the chicken. What I was satisfied with was ordering half of the whole chicken with the original type chicken and the other half the garlic chicken (garlic chicken was the bomb!)
. The chicken comes in wedges (not the
typical shoestring fries) and it was fried to perfection. I particularly loved
the garlic sauced chicken; it was a mix of the secret house special soy sauce
with minced garlic and fried garlic cloves to gives the extra kick of flavors.
Nest Snow – IDR 159K
This is one
of the signature dish and a very unique one; it has fresh whip cream on top of
the dish hence the ‘Nest snow’ name came from, it consisted of chicken tenders
in Cajun seasoning, mashed potato cream and whip cream completed with grated
cheese on top. The dish looks very appetizing; it is served in ‘hot plate’ look
alike, fried chickens stacked neatly on top of another, fresh creamed
vegetables around the plate and topped it with whip cream. It almost looked
like dessert!
The tenders
were fried nicely and thoroughly flavorful.
The sauce was definitely the
selling point; it has thick sweet, salty and umami flavors that works
wonderfully with the chicken. One negative thing I could pointed out would be
that the dish could have a little bit more grated cheese to have that extra
boost the dish need, not that it is already delicious on itself.
Do not be
shunned by the price of some of the dishes, it comes in big portions so it
definitely allows patrons to share with 2 to 3 people (depending on how much
you usually eats) and thus shares the price of the dishes. Happy sharing!
