Chir Chir

Honey Butter Chicken (with toppoki and potato wedges) - MYR56.90++ (10% service charge 6% GST = MYR66.35 nett). The portion is enough for 2 persons. The boneless chicken pieces have crispy coatings (not oily at all) with tender juicy meat. The deep fried toppoki (rice cake) is soft and chewy while the creamy honey butter mayo dip with a hint of garlic taste goes well with the fried chicken.

Crispy Fried Chicken - MYR49.90++ with a slightly sweet mustard dip and an appetising cucumber salsa. Customers can change half of the portion of this dish to eithwe Spicy Chicken or Garlicky Chicken by paying an additional MYR7++ so the combination will cost MYR56.90++ (MYR66.35 nett).  As we do not know how spicy it would be, we play safe by changing half a portion to Garlicky Chicken instead of Spicy Chicken.

Garlicky Chicken is coated with a special soy sauce that tastes slightly sweet. As with the Honey Butter Chicken, the crispy batter is not oily at all and the chicken meat is juicy and tender. The only difference is that the chicken pieces are not boneless.

Tongs are provided for customers to pick up the chicken pieces so that their hands will not be dirty. No fingers licking here. We took home many pieces of chicken for dinner as the 4 of us could not finish them for lunch in one sitting.

The fried chicken is supposed to be eaten with beers topped with whipped cream but we are not going to have beer during lunch so we wanted to order green tea and was advised that it is cold canned green tea but it is out of stock. The only hot drink on the menu which is Honey Yuja Tea is not available too.

As I do not want soft drinks (MYR6.90++), the waiter suggest that we order a cup of Mocktail at MYR24.90++ (MYR29 nett). He said that the portion is big enough to serve all 4 of us and he gave us 4 small glasses. The Mocktails are fizzy drinks and there are 4 choices - red (berries), blue (lemonade), green (green grape) and yellow (passion fruit). As I like to eat berries, I selected red.

Luckily the drink is not that sweet and with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves, I tried to bluff myself that this drink is better than soft drinks.

The waiter made the drink fizzy by using the apparatus above so you can say that the fizziness of the drink is freshly made at your table. They also provide a small bucket lined with a plastic bag (as can be seen in the photo above) for customers to throw the chicken bones into. I will be back in a few months time to try the garlicky chicken tenders as I prefer boneless chicken.

Chir Chir is located in Pavilion Elite, same floor as the supermarket in Pavilion. KFC is opposite it diagonally.

Total Bill is MYR161.75 nett for 4 pax (about MYR40 per pax).

  1. Chir Chir is also available in SG, but I have not tried it yet as long time didn't eat fried chicken already

    For fried chicken, I usually go KFC

    What is the difference between KFC and Chir Chir? Shall I say Chir Chir is more high ended?

  3. Wow! I love that Honey Butter Chicken esp it is Korean style. I must go there when I lepak at Pavilion. My Seoul buddies often boasted they have the best fried chickens in the world. I like their way of using a box to throw chicken bones as the Korean & Japanese loathed the way we spit and throw bones all over the tables. Kikikiki
