Jinjja!! Chicken at Jewel Changi


Jinjja! Chicken is a Korean fast food company specialized in fried chickens.  I visited their branch at Jewel Changi early this year. 

You order your food at the counter, then you will be given a buzzer and you can pick your seat anywhere you like.  It was not meal time so the crowd was pretty thin.  There were plenty of seats available. 



I ordered their 6-piece chicken wing as an ala carte item for $7.00 as my snack.  The food was ready very quickly.  The fried chicken wings looked very much like those from 4 Fingers, but the color is different.  4 Fingers' fried chicken wings look much darker, like caramel, but this one has a lighter color.   I think both apply a layer of syrup-like sauce when roast, but in 4 Fingers' case, the syrup is completely crystallized. 

Jinjja!! Chicken wings are neither crispy nor soft.  It is somewhere in between.  The skin is not crystallized, but it is hard.  The type of chicken wing they use are quite small in size, so they have not much meat, and on the dry side.  In terms of taste, I could only taste possibly the taste of the sauce on the skin, a very strange taste.  Other than that, I was not able to distinguish any other distinct flavors.

I probably will give them my patronage once in a blue moon.  The taste is not very memorable, nor the portion size.
