Price:$9.90. Verdict: not recommended. Cheese fries has become commonplace pseudo-western dish that one can find from KFC, to hawker centers, to the more atas bars around. And yet not all cheese fries taste good and this particular cheezy fries from Chir chir falls prey to this category. Chir chir is a relatively new Korean fried chicken outlet and it specializes in fried chicken in different sauce. And let's just say cheese fries is not its speciality. The cheese is bland, unflavourful and stingily inadequate in quantity. The only saving grace is perhaps the small cup of yogurt-like sauce. And also, the world is full of relatives and the only comparable dish (ie in the carbo category) that this has is the dish of Mac and cheese that is pathetically small and not value for money. So perhaps, on that note, if one were to crave for some carbo amidst the chicken-overload, this particular cheezy fries can perhaps fulfill that craving in spite of all its shortcoming.

Price: $32.90. Verdict: On the fence. The name 'Nest Snow' attempts to capture a complex and schizophrenic dish that is really neither here nor there. What it essentially is is a plate of chicken tender lying atop a cheese-milk concoction sauce with whipped cream resting awkwardly atop the chicken tender. There are 2 main problems with this dish. First, there are too many things going on at the same time thereby making it difficult for one to focus on the goodness of the individual component. Secondly, the mix of semi-viscous sauce with crispy tender while not unheard of is often a recipe for unsatisfying mediocrity. This dish fails to overcome its fate of unsatisfying mediocrity. And yet, not all is lost in this dish because the milk-cheese sauce is in all honesty quite tasty and lovely. While the crispness of the chicken tender has eluded us due to the copious amount of milk-cheese sauce, the original tastiness of the chicken tender remains strong and continues to carry its own weight amidst this dish of confusion and schizophrenia. This dish is not recommended if you were to only get a single item from the menu. But if you have already gotten the much tastier garlicky chicken, and wish for some novelty, go ahead and order this.

Price: $28.90. Verdict: recommended. Fried chicken with garlic soy sauce sounds boring and a typical but it has exceeded all usual expectation. The meat was tender and juicy and the highly appetizing garlic soy sauce makes it nigh-impossible to stop one from grabbing yet another piece. The win-it factor for this chicken is however not the meat. It was the skin. The skin was crispy and yet not excessively oily. It was well flavored with the appetizing garlic soy sauce and yet it does not overpower the inherent X-factor of the chicken meat. A must try for every patron to chir chir
