Gave Otoke Chicken at Asian Food Mall in Lucky Plaza a try recently; a new Korean fried chicken stall which gives a slight impression of being a 4Fingers Crispy Chicken spinoff given the packaging of the paper cups here. A little odd considering how it's located beside Jollibee within the same food court, but Otoke Chicken works for those who are looking for a sauced-up (quite literally) fried chicken treat.

Liked how the fried chicken here was not too greasy here; the chicken being pretty tender and succulent. Opting for the Spicy Sauce, the Spicy Sauce comes pretty piquant and is not shy in terms of its spiciness — the heat being pretty prominent and lingers around which works well for spicy lovers; all that whilst carrying a slight savoury and sweet note of sweet soy typical of Korean fried chicken. While the fries come with a generous seasoning of honey soy powder for flavour, we were not fans of the soft fries; whilst not being drenched in oil, it was peculiarly limp and soggy within — would have preferred some crispness on the exterior and fluffiness within. That being said, it's not a bad eat; in fact a pretty decent option to go for — perhaps albeit of a bad location for how it may draw some unfair comparisons with its more famous neighbour, but it satiates the Korean fried chicken cravings just about right at an individual-friendly size and a reasonable price.
