Korean burger and fried chicken brand Mom’s Touch is back in Singapore. After leaving the local scene in February 2022, the popular Korean brand returns on 14 August 2026, opening along South Bridge Road with a refreshed menu, hand-battered fried chicken, and a strong dose of K-culture.
Known for its generously sized chicken burgers and crispy fried chicken, Mom’s Touch is promising an upgrade for its second coming in Singapore. Each chicken thigh patty is made with 100% chicken thigh, hand-battered and fried to order, so diners get hot, crispy, juicy chicken straight from the fryer.
The comeback also introduces several Singapore-exclusive creations alongside new K-inspired flavours. Adding to the excitement is a collaboration with girl group LE SSERAFIM, the brand’s global ambassador, with exclusive merchandise and a K-pop experience for fans.
Super Thigh Chicken Burger 4/5
The Super Thigh Chicken Burger ($9.95) is the Singapore-exclusive creation and easily one of the most substantial burgers on the menu. At its centre is Mom’s Touch’s signature whole crispy chicken thigh, noticeably hefty and giving the burger plenty of bite. The chicken is encased in a craggy, golden-brown batter that delivers a satisfying crunch, while the meat underneath remains juicy and tender. It comes with lettuce, fresh onions, and pickles, adding freshness and acidity to balance the substantial fried chicken. What makes this Singapore edition different is the secret Singapore sauce, which brings together Korea’s familiar savoury-sweet profile with a bolder, peppery kick. The combination works particularly well with the juicy chicken thigh. It is hearty, indulgent and definitely built for those who enjoy their burgers with plenty of fried chicken.
All-in Chicken Burger 4/5
If you believe there is no such thing as too much chicken, the All-in Chicken Burger ($8.95) takes that idea quite literally. Available with either a crispy fried chicken thigh or breast patty, the burger is stacked with chicken ham, a fried egg, lettuce, onions and pickles. It’s finished with Thousand Island and herb sauces. A lot is going on here, but that is precisely the appeal. The crispy chicken provides the crunch and juiciness, while the chicken ham adds another layer of savoury flavour. The fried egg brings richness, especially when the yolk mixes with the sauces and chicken. The pickles and onions help cut through the richness, while the tangy Thousand Island sauce adds a familiar fast-food burger element. Go for the thigh if you prefer a juicier, more indulgent bite, or breast if you want something a little leaner.
White Garlic Chicken Burger 4.2/5
The White Garlic Chicken Burger ($7.95) is the one to consider if you are a serious garlic lover. Besides the crispy chicken patty, the burger comes with chicken ham, melted cheddar, onions and pickles, all tied together with a thick white garlic sauce. The sauce is creamy and almost mayonnaise-like in texture, but with a much more pronounced sweet and garlicky flavour. It coats the chicken generously and gives every bite a fragrant garlic kick. The cured chicken ham adds a salty, savoury dimension, while melted cheddar contributes extra richness. Thankfully, the fresh onions and tangy pickles add enough sharpness and crunch to keep the burger from getting too heavy. With crispy chicken, salty ham, melted cheese, and creamy garlic sauce, this is one of the more indulgent burgers in the lineup and should appeal strongly to garlic fans.
Grilled Beef Burger 3/5
For those who prefer beef over fried chicken, the Grilled Beef Burger ($7.95 single / $10.95 double) takes a more familiar approach. The burger comes with a juicy beef patty, melted cheddar, lettuce, tomatoes, onions and dill pickle sauce. Compared to Mom’s Touch’s towering chicken burgers, this feels much more like a classic fast-food cheeseburger. The beef patty brings the savoury foundation, while the melted cheddar adds creaminess. Lettuce and tomato add refreshing crunch and juiciness, while onions and dill pickle sauce add tang. It is straightforward and familiar, and perhaps less exciting than the chicken offerings, but that simplicity also makes it a lighter option. With the fresh vegetables replacing some of the heavier fried components, it is noticeably less rich on the palate.
Angus Beef Burger 4.2/5
The Angus Beef Burger ($12.95 single / $17.95 double) is a step up for beef lovers and another Singapore-exclusive creation. Made with Australian Angus beef, the burger comes with a juicy beef patty topped with a fried egg, cheddar, lettuce, onions, pickles, white garlic sauce, and steak sauce. The burger is rich from the beef and melted cheddar to the fried egg and creamy garlic sauce. The pickles and onions provide some much-needed acidity and crunch, while the steak sauce gives the beef a deeper savoury note. Compared to the Grilled Beef Burger, this is considerably more substantial and indulgent. The combination of Angus beef, fried egg and garlic sauce makes it feel more like a loaded burger rather than a simple fast-food cheeseburger.
Original Boneless Fried Chicken Thigh 4.2/5
Beyond the burgers, Mom’s Touch’s fried chicken remains one of the main reasons to visit. The Original Boneless Fried Chicken Thigh ($9.95 for 5pc) comes in generous half-sized pieces, battered and fried to order. The result is piping hot chicken with a crisp, golden exterior, while the thigh meat stays tender and juicy inside. The Original version is the most straightforward, allowing the crispy batter and chicken to take centre stage. It comes with Honey Mustard sauce on the side, adding a sweet, tangy contrast to the savoury fried chicken.
Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken Thigh 4/5
The Soy Garlic Boneless Chicken Thigh ($11.95 for 5pc) brings a more classic Korean fried chicken character. The crispy chicken pieces are coated in a sweet and deeply savoury soy garlic glaze, with plenty of aromatic garlic coming through. The sauce adds another layer of flavour to the crunchy chicken without completely overpowering the meat. The contrast between the crisp coating and sticky glaze makes this a satisfying choice for those who prefer their Korean fried chicken saucy and flavour-packed.
Cheesy Sichuan Boneless Chicken Thigh 3.5/5
For something with a Singapore-friendly kick, the Cheesy Sichuan Boneless Chicken Thigh ($12.95 for 5pc) is the more adventurous option. The fried chicken is coated with a thick, spicy Sichuan sauce and finished with a rich cheese sauce. The cheese mellows the heat while adding a creamy, savoury element to the chicken. Interestingly, the combination leans towards a sweet-and-sour profile, with the spicy sauce providing the heat and tang while the cheese rounds everything out. It is a fun combination and one for those who enjoy a little spice with their fried chicken without wanting the heat to completely dominate the dish.
Mom’s Touch’s return to Singapore comes with a noticeably bigger, more ambitious lineup, especially for fans of its signature chicken burgers and fried chicken. Hand-battering and frying the chicken to order makes a difference, with the chicken arriving hot, crisp, and juicy. Among the burgers, the All-in Chicken Burger and White Garlic Chicken Burger were our favourites, while the Super Thigh Chicken Burger stands out as the Singapore-exclusive creation to try. The fried chicken is also worth ordering, especially the Original if you want to appreciate the crisp batter and juicy thigh meat on its own. With Singapore-exclusive creations, familiar Korean flavours and the added LE SSERAFIM collaboration, Mom’s Touch is clearly returning with more than just nostalgia. Whether you remember the brand from its first run in Singapore or are trying it for the first time, its comeback offers plenty of crispy chicken, oversized burgers and K-inspired flavours to dig into.
