Sticky Wings @ Westgate - Brand New Fried Chicken Concept Inspired By Southeast Asia Flavours

A new F&B concept selling fried chicken with Southeast Asia inspired flavours have replaced 4 Fingers at Westgate. The new fried chicken restaurant, Sticky Wings is a self service restaurant with 68 seats featuring light wood furnishing with vibrant pops of neon pink, blue, yellow and green.

Spicy Flamin Fried Chicken 4/5, Sticky Kecap Manis Fried Chicken 3.8/5

The fried chicken here comes in 4 different sets consists of different chicken parts combination, namely Black Belt ($8.50), Knockout ($8.50), Drumchucks ($8.50) and Level Up ($28).

Black Belt ($8.50) - 1 drumstick + 3 two-joint wings
Knockout ($8.50) - 6 two-joint wings
Drumchucks ($8.50) - 2 drumsticks
Level Up ($28) - 4 drumsticks, 8 two-joint wings

Diners can also choose between the fiery Spicy Flamin which is concocted with a secret blend of chillis or the sweet Sticky Kecap Manis. I have to warn you the spicy flamin fried chicken is really very spicy, not for the faint of heart. For those preferred to have the fried chicken without any sauce, you can opt for the Naked which comes without sauce.

Tat's Egg=citing 3/5

For the sides, we tried the Tat's Egg-citing ($5.90) and We Meet Again ($6.50). Tat's Egg-citing is actually straight cut fries dressed in an addictive salted egg yolk sauce, nacho cheese and topped with tomato salsa.The fries has a nice thickness giving it a good bite to it. The salted egg yolk sauce blend has a tad of spiciness with a hint of curry leaves aroma. However I thought the tomato salsa was a bit out of place.

We Meet Again 3.5/5

For the We Meet Again, the straight cut fries are crowned with slow-cooked minced beef rendang. The rempah is actually quite shiok. I even joking suggest to have the butter rice with the rendang sauce.

Cluckin' Good 4/5

Besides the fried chicken, Sticky Wings also offers burger on the menu. Instead of the usual bun, the burger is sandwiched in between two malasade (Portuguese doughnuts). We tried the Cluckin' Good ($7.90 each/ $10.40 combo) which comes with a juicy chicken thigh fillet marinated with aromatic lemongrass. The combination of the savoury fillings with the sugar dusted malasade works for me.

Let you in into something different and special at Sticky Wings. On weekdays, the restaurant offers local breakfast options such as bee hoon and nasi lemak with chicken wing, fish fillets and chicken cutlet. On weekends, diners will get to have pancakes and chicken sausage patties.

Note: This is an invited tasting.

Wee's Family Seafood @ Bukit Merah Central - A New Zi Char Place In Bukit Merah Central

It is great to know that my friend Milton from Wee's Family Coffee Shop has opened a 2nd branch nearer to my place at Bukit Merah Central named Wee's Family Seafood. The new branch is actually located behind an industrial building, hidden from the main road. It took up a stall inside the industrial canteen which is quite spacious and airy.

Prawn Paste Chicken Wings 3.8/5

We started with the Prawn Paste Chicken Wings ($8/$12/$16) which are coated in a light crispy batter. The chicken wings were also moist and juicy inside with a hint of prawn paste. I personally prefer the prawn paste flavour to be stronger.

Handmade Prawn Roll 4.5/5

One of our favourite items is the Handmade Prawn Roll ($10/$15/$20). The prawn roll is generously stuffed with many delectable ingredients such as minced pork, mushroom and crunchy chestnut. Marinated in five spice powder and encased in a thin crispy beancurd skin, this is best eaten together with the accompanying sweet sauce.

Green Dragon Chives 4/5

A common greens on the menu is the Green Dragon Chives ($10/$15/$20). Simply stir fried, I like the used of bean sprouts together with the green dragon chives for the extra crunch and bite.

Lamb 3/5

The Lamb ($25) probably is a rather rare dish to find in a zichar menu. I actually quite enjoy the red meat but my dining company is not a fan of the gaminess.

Crispy Pig Knuckle 2.8/5

A dish that required improvement is the Crispy Pig Knuckle ($30). While we enjoyed the crispy skin but we felt the whole execution was rather bland. It felt like the kitchen has forgotten to season it.

Assam Red Snapper Fish Head 3.8/5

For the price, I thought the Assam Red Snapper Fish Head ($24) is rather worth it  Not only was the fish head fresh, it was huge and meaty. Being an assam fish head lover, I think the dish is not sour and spicy enough. The flavours can be intensified further.

Salted Egg Crayfish 4.2/5

Wrapped in a thin batter and coated with salted egg sauce is the Salted Egg Crayfish ($20). What I applauded is the effort to de-shell the crayfish. Its like removing the barrier for the sauce to marry with the succulent crayfish. The batter which replaced the shell, provided the extra layer of texture to the dish.

Three Egg Fu Zhou Mee Sua 3/5

Last but at least we had the Three Egg Fu Zhou Mee Sua ($10/$15/$20). Once again this is a dish I do not usually see in zichar menu. The texture of the noodle is quite similar to those Ban Mian stall's you mian. I thought the dish has great potential but again it was under seasoned. I ended up mixing the mee sua with the sambal chilli to elevate the flavour.

Overall I felt the new branch still fell short in standard compare to the main outlet in Bedok Reservoir Road. Most of the dishes also felt a bit light handed. I thought they can be a little more bold in their seasoning.
