You know it's the real deal when Koreans in Singapore flock there for a taste of home! Specialising in KFC (that's Korean Fried Chicken ?), Kko Kko Nara was founded by Ms Eon Lee, a Korean cook who spent six months perfecting her fried chicken recipe before opening the restaurant in 2008.

Nothing beats their original fried chicken flavour that's perfectly seasoned and greasy without being too oily! There are also three other delicious flavours of KFC - soy garlic sauce, sweet & spicy, and hot & spicy. Their menu is pretty extensive with hearty Korean dishes like soups, stews, pancakes, bulgogi, tteokbokki and bibimbap.
