Chir Chir Menu

The chir chir menu in Singapore is a chimaek menu, built for sharing: big plates of Korean fried chicken in flavours imported from Seoul, hot plate dishes, topokki, salads and beer, all meant for a table rather than a solo diner. Read the outlet warning first, though. Current directory listings report the Singapore outlets as permanently closed, even though older review listings still show hours, so treat this guide as a full record of the menu as it was listed, check before you travel, and use the reported prices as history rather than a live price list.

What is on the Chir Chir menu in Singapore?

Chir Chir, pronounced chi-re chi-re, is the Seoul chain that made chimaek famous: chicken and beer, shared at a table. The Singapore menu followed that idea closely. Fried chicken came in more than twenty variations, from plain crispy to garlicky soy, spicy yangnyeom, honey butter, K-urry and curry, served as whole chicken, half chicken, tenders or wings, with fried rice cakes and potato wedges on the side. Around the chicken sat hot plate dakgalbi, spicy topokki, Nest Snow, rosemary roasted chicken, seafood soup, mac and cheese, salads and a drinks list built around beer.

Portions were the point. Review after review warns never to dine alone here, because a single plate is built for three or four people. The chicken was made to order from fresh chicken, never frozen, with proprietary sauces imported from Korea, and it arrived with pickled radish and the chain’s small food tongs, so you could grab pieces without greasy fingers.

How much does Chir Chir cost in Singapore?

Expect a sharing plate to have cost roughly S$17 to S$33 in the listings, with bundles higher. The spread in reported prices is wide because sources span a decade: a crispy half chicken is reported at S$16.90 in one older guide, S$17.90 in another and S$18.90 in a later one, while a whole crispy chicken is reported at S$29.50 and S$29.90. That drift is normal for a menu that ran for years, but it means no single figure here should be treated as a current price.

Bundles were the better value for groups. A two-person chimaek bundle was reported at S$49.90, and a four-person bundle at S$83.80, with chicken, mac and cheese, spicy tteokbokki and beer included. Delivery listings later showed higher starting prices, with spicy yangnyeom from S$22.60 and K-urry from S$21.45, plus service charges on top, so delivery always cost more than the dine-in figures in older guides.

What are the best Chir Chir fried chicken flavours to order?

Start with the flavour that matches your heat tolerance. Crispy is the plain, crunchy base, and it’s the safest first order if you want to judge the batter itself. Garlicky soy is the signature for most reviewers, a sweet and savoury soy coating with crunchy garlic flakes. Spicy yangnyeom brings the heat, K-urry adds curry seasoning with curry leaves and sliced almonds, and honey butter is the indulgent sweet pick, served with dried cranberries, almond flakes, potato wedges and fried topokki.

For something different, Nest Snow is the showpiece: spicy Cajun chicken tenders on sweet potato puree, buried under cream sauce and a mountain of grated cheddar, parmesan and mozzarella, with whipped cream on top. Reviewers split on it, some calling it great for photos and average to eat, others loving the sweet potato and cream combination. Rosemary chicken is the calmer pick, a whole chicken marinated for twelve hours, oven roasted and served with salsa, a salt-baked egg and a baked potato with sour cream.

Honey Butter Chicken is the sharing pick for a first visit

If you go with a group, order Honey Butter Chicken first. It’s sweet, rich and built for sharing, and the cranberries, almonds and wedges give the table something to pick at while the next plate arrives. Order it with a plain crispy plate on the side, so anyone who finds the sweet coating too rich still has a classic to fall back on.

What else can you order besides fried chicken at Chir Chir?

Chir Chir was never only about chicken. The spicy topokki pot, reported at S$15.90 with breaded chicken extra, combined Korean rice cakes, Cajun battered squid, a deep fried egg and sweet potato cubes in a fiery gochujang sauce. The spicy seafood soup, reported at S$26.90, brought squid, crayfish, prawns and mussels in a spicy clam broth with glass noodles. Hot plate dakgalbi and topokki with cheese gave the table a sharing centrepiece, while mac and cheese and topokki with cheese covered the comfort end of the menu.

The oddest and most loved non-chicken dish was the honey grape salad, reported at S$18.90: sweet seedless grapes in house-made ricotta and whipped cream, with walnuts, almonds and pine nuts, served with honey-garlic tortillas. Reviewers called it the sweet ending the menu needed, since the menu itself had no desserts. Drinks leaned into the chimaek theme, with Chir cream beer, ice cold beer under fresh whipped cream, reported at S$13.90 for 350ml and S$18.90 for 650ml, and the Lady Killer beer cocktail at S$16.90.

Where were the Chir Chir outlets in Singapore?

The first Singapore outlet opened at 313@Somerset in February 2015, and later listings added Chinatown Point, Bedok Point, Jem and Bugis Junction. Hours in older listings were typically 11am to 10pm, with Friday and Saturday running later, and the Chinatown Point outlet was reported as open until 3am daily for supper seekers. Those hours come from older listings and shouldn’t be relied on now.

Current directory listings report the Somerset, Bugis Junction and Bedok Point outlets as permanently closed, and the official Singapore site no longer serves a live menu. If you find a Chir Chir listing still showing hours, treat it as stale data until you confirm by phone or in person. The menu in this guide is preserved as a record of what the chain served, not as a promise that a table is waiting.
