Chix Hot Chicken Review: Taufik Batisah Opens A Fried Chicken Cafe At Bugis

I don’t know about you, but fried chicken and chilli is a combination I won’t miss out on! Chix Hot Chicken - Fried Chicken Seasoned With Ghost Pepper Food at Chix Hot Chicken After waiting for a couple of minutes past 5pm, the shutters finally pulled open! My colleague and I walked in and took in the cosy atmosphere, before heading to the counter to pick our dishes.

When my eyes laid on their Chicken And Waffles ($14.90) , I got super excited, only to realise it is only available on Sundays. Bummed, I went ahead to get two types of fried chicken and their fried chicken sliders.

I didn’t want to destroy my taste buds before I tasted the good stuff, which is why I chose to start with The Original ($9.90 for a quarter chicken) . As the spices were dusted on the chicken after it was deep-fried, the flavours were only skin-deep.

Taking it up a notch, I tried their Nashville Hot Chicken ($9.90 for a quarter chicken) . As I took my first bite of the Mild Hotness chicken, I was slightly taken aback by the lack of spiciness.

Even though the lack of heat was disappointing, the chicken was very succulent and we still enjoyed it. While the Mild Hotness was manageable for those who aren’t fans of spicy food, the Extra Hotness chicken was anything but.

I felt the ghost pepper work its way to the back of my throat, causing me to choke. My nose kicked off to leak and I had to wait for a good 10 minutes before the heat kicked off to dissipate from my taste buds.

Get it if you like spicy food but don’t want to kill your taste buds with the ghost pepper spice mixes. When these Soul Sliders ($12.90 for two sliders) came to my table, I was #shooked .

The burger is made up of a chicken patty, house-made coleslaw, pickles, and pink mayo, sandwiched between two buttered buns. Their house-made mayo came with a tinge of heat, and was slathered all over the tender patty.

Ambience at Chix Hot Chicken Just a 10- to 15-minute walk away from Bugis MRT Station, Chix Hot Chicken is located at the now defunct The Lab. They officially opened on 19 June, so pop by soon before the crowd gets wind of the delicious fried chicken here! I’ll definitely be back for their Soul Sliders, and all you fried chicken lovers, jio your kakis and swing by soon!
