Daily Chicken is a vibrant new addition to Bugis Junction’s food scene, offering a playful take on Korean street food.
A sister brand to Daily Beer, the eatery is decked out in a fun retro diner vibe, with a menu featuring both popular staples and outlet-exclusive dishes.
Daily Cold Bibimmyeon 3.5/5
It was a hot afternoon, so we opted for the Daily Cold Bibimmyeon ($8), a refreshing dish of chewy noodles served in a spicy chilled broth, topped with crunchy cucumbers and hard-boiled egg. While the dish was cooling, we found the broth needed more depth.
For a dry alternative, there’s the Daily Bibimmyeon ($8), where the same noodles are tossed in a sticky sweet sauce.
Cup Gangjeong 3.8/5
An interesting to-go-only snack is the Cup Gangjeong, which comes in two sauce options: Red (spicy) and Black (sweet garlic soy). The snack includes a mix of rice cakes with sweet potato, potato wedges or pop dumplings; all placed atop a cup of Sprite or Coke for convenient enjoyment. We went with the Daily Chicken Gangjeong – Red + Soft Drink ($12), expecting a spicy kick. However, the sauce leaned more toward being sweet with just a mild heat.
Daily Chicken Original 4/5
I was most excited about their signature Daily Chicken Original (starting from $17 for half a chicken) and glad it did not disappoint. I particularly liked the crunchy skin and the non-greasy, juicy meat. The fried chicken comes in several flavours, including Red (“spicy angry bird sauce”), Black (sweet garlic soy), and Crunch (coated in corn flakes with garlic and sweet-spicy seasoning). Portions are flexible, allowing diners to choose between half, whole, or a full serving of wings.
Crispy Pastry Honey Hotteok 4/5
For dessert, the Crispy Pastry Honey Hotteok ($14) was a standout on the menu. A twist on the traditional hotteok, this version uses deep-fried honey hotteok for extra crunch and is served with whipped cream. Though the whipped cream was a bit heavy and the hotteok slightly oily, it was a satisfying sweet treat. If you’re craving something savoury instead, the Crispy Pastry Corn Cheese Hotteok ($14) replaces sweet and savoury corn cheese.
