Originated from Seoul, Chir Chir (치르치르) is the largest fried chicken chain in Korea with over 100 stores in China, Taiwan, Indonesia, Singapore, and Malaysia.
Honey Butter Chicken (RM24.90) A highly addictive dish which I agree with crispy boneless fried chicken chucks with potato wedges and rice cakes, tossed with honey butter sauce and seasoning.
Started with this Rose Cheese Chiqueen, a cheesy chicken platter that’s going to become cheese lovers’ new favourite! Fried chicken tenders stacked over a bed of fondue cheese, topped with chunky potato wedges and cherry tomatoes, further heaped with mozzarella sauce.
Verdict: The food here probably cost higher than the usual fried chicken joint but rest assured, once you devour the fresh chicken, you’d know they’re worth it. Portion is big as well to justify the money spent. I’m planning to go back for the Curry Fried Chicken, anyone joining me?
To get the ball rolling, we were treated to the latest Curry Fried Chicken dish. Wah, I loved this chicken dish to the max. Brought to the table smelling so deliciously aromatic with the curry spices and herbs seasoning, I just can't wait to sink my teeth into this dish. Wonderfully juicy and fragrant, with the sweet and spicy flavours waking up our taste buds upon the first bite. Soft succulence, though not as spicy as local version, this one still packs loads of punchy spicy notes.
Next is the Spicy BBQ roasted chicken (RM 32.90 or RM 59.90 for double portion)- the oven roasted chicken with spicy BBQ sauce, an egg, alongside baked potato and sour cream. Sticky, gooey, and if I must say this, a glorious mess on your fingers when eating with hands, and just the right kick of spicy BBQ, this is quite a crowd pleaser. But order the Mac and Cheese (RM 16.90 or RM 30.90 for double portion) to go with this spicy bite of BBQ chicken.
Verdict: 1. If you are looking for a Korean fried chicken meal with an interesting local twist, then Chir Chir is the place to go with your friends and family. 2. Reasons to visit: Sizeable portion, locally-suited flavours, fresh and good quality ingredients 3. Must try: Curry Fried Chicken, Spicy Chi-bap
For those in with the popular Korean "Chimaek" culture, you can enjoy Chir Chir's new Curry Fried Chicken (RM30.90 / RM56.90 for double portion) with an icy cold beer. Fresh chicken is coated with the signature batter, deep fried and then sprinkled with generous amounts of addictive curry seasoning. Absolutely delicious, we couldn't get enough of this crispy chicken!
Chir Chir is located in Pavilion Elite, same floor as the supermarket in Pavilion. KFC is opposite it diagonally.
The chain’s focus on great taste, value and service has allowed it to grow into one of the largest "Chimaek" franchises in South Korea with over 100 stores and new store openings in China and Taiwan.
The very first Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory has landed in Malaysia with their first outlet already operating in Pavilion Elite KL. South Korea’s largest chain of the renowned “Chimaek” has arrived and serving nothing but freshly made to order chicken dishes, this one sure is one of the best chain Korean Fried Chicken place that I have sampled so far. With all their sauces and marination authentically from Seoul, this consistency leads to benefit Malaysians into being the opportunity to get a taste of the brand’s signature flavours and unique offerings in their funky and casual dining ambiance.
Chir Chir Fusion Chicken Factory has really nailed their chicken dishes to near perfectness. Prices are on the higher end but that’s justifiable for the quality and portion they served. All of their dishes we tried is larger in portion than a lot of places and feeds at least 2 to 3 people. Go for their chicken dishes because they do those really well and their drinks are very good too. Now I am wishing for more Chir Chir outlets to open nearer to me so I can get my fix of fried chicken more often.

Crispy Fried Chicken, RM49.90 One of the signature dish is Chir Chir and this is a MUST to have. Available in 3 flavours – Original, Spicy and Garlicky. For those who are loving fried chicken or first timer, you can have the chicken change half portion of the chicken to spicy or garlicky with just a top- up of RM 7. As for the flavours, personally I love the Original flavours. Love how the crispy chicken is being deep fried. It is indeed the chicken comes awesomely good where the chicken are fresh, well marinated and the crust comes crispy too. Once a bite, you can get the moist and juicy taste of it.

Another of my personal favorite is this Honey Butter Chicken . Chicken is cook to perfection and also marination is season well. Taste of honey and butter were quite prominent yet chicken meat is not too dry. The sauce do give you a little sweet end that make the taste a great combination.
The Crispy Fried version shown above is marinated for six hours in their house-seasoning before going into the fryer. Perfectly cooked, so crispy you can even see it’s the real deal.
