Tucked in an otherwise ordinary coffee shop in Toa Payoh is Waker Chicken, a Korean food stall that specialises in Korean-style fried chicken.
The stall typically has long queues, and for good reason.
It is said that despite being coated in sauce, their fried chicken still maintains its crisp texture — even if you're ordering it for takeaway.
There are four flavours available:
Original Crispy
As its name suggests, the original crispy chicken is coated in batter before being deep fried.
- Rice set (three pieces of chicken tenders with rice): S$5.50
- Tender/fillet: From S$6

- Whole chicken: S$25
