As an avid fan of finger food and snacks, I go high and low searching for good snacks around Singapore. I came across this shop in some other forums so I decided too give it a try. Their shop is pretty easy to locate. Just at the very end of Bugis Street when you head in from Bugis Junction's side and make a right turn when you hit the other end of the crowded/sheltered area.

You can see quite a crowd gathering around the shop as they are waiting for their freshly-made snacks. The have those kind of ice-cream display fridges to display their food and a few chef inside preparing your wonderful snacks.

BBQ Crispy Chicken

The piece of chicken is first grilled/BBQ-ed before going through a layer of flour for the deep-frying procedure. The crispy chicken chop can be sliced as requested and it taste pretty decent. It comes with a little sauce on its surface and some spicy herb flavouring powder around it.

Personal Rating: 8.1/10

Popcorn Chicken aka Yan Shu Ji

Marked as their "Chef's recommendation" but it failed me badly. The pieces are too big to handle, you will probably need 3 bites to finish 1 piece of it. The flavouring is pretty so-so and dull. Nothing fanciful except for the crust. I can taste that the crust uses flour and bread crumbs mixed for deep-frying. Lai Lai Family restaurant's Yan Shu Ji is so so much better in terms of texture, big size and quality.

Personal Rating: 6.6/10

Milk Tea
I do not drink any tea products so I can't comment much. My friend who have tried it say that it is so-so only.

Here's the "rare" footage of what it is like inside the paperbag filled with this delicious BBQ Crispy Chicken. What more to review? It just gets better and better each time I head down for my regular dosage =x

Look at the steam and yummy slices of chicken meat. *yum yum*

Sour Plum Drink with Pearl
Delicious and refreshing. Sweetened to the perfect level with a dash of smokey sensation in it.
