Mom's Touch PLQ - Heartwarming Fried Chicken

Merlion Wayfarer recently had a chance to try out Mom's Touch, an exciting new Fried Chicken brand brought in from Korea for the first time in Singapore.

Based in South Korea since setting up its first store in 2004, Mom’s Touch presently has over 1,200 stores across South Korea and is established in major cities in the USA, Taiwan and Vietnam. Its brand name comes from the simple thought of preparing its food for their patrons, the very heart-warming way a mother prepares for a meal for her family.

Marinated with its very own special blend of seasoning, the Mom's Touch Fried Chicken ($3.60 per piece) is available in both spicy & non-spicy versions...

The fried chicken is hand-battered and handbreaded in the kitchen for a fuller, tender and juicier taste. The chicken tastes fresh and delicious, with none of the cloying oily taste you would expect from a "fast food" outlet...

Mom’s Touch Spicy Sauce Chicken ($3.80 per piece) is a  popular choice in South Korea with its signature Homemade Spicy Sauce...
