December | 2015 | The Chicken Scene

The boys couldn’t stop raving about Sam Sam and how Hollywood was missing out on the best Korean Melbourne Fried Chicken ever. This blog is a result of massive FOMO

We settled in the downstairs area and got straight into business; beers and loads of fried chicken. We got half boneless in the original flavor and half boneless in the soy and garlic flavor in addition to the wings in the hot and spicy sauce

The wings arrived first and were the typical Korean style where they are fried then doused in the sauce. They had the right level of heat and were good. Cooked well, hot and steamy. The accompanying coleslaw was also a delight.

The remainder of our order arrived and it was the right size: BIG! The original style was good, had a good crunch to it while the soy and garlic had good tasty flavors. Overall the chicken was all fresh, juicy and tender. The order was also accompanied by the delicious slaw and pickles.

Overall Sam Sam is a really good Korean Fried Chicken that is in the heart of Swanston St. It is also has a cool vibe to it that is definitely worth checking out

Hollywood’s Rating: 8/10 Clucks

It was a long day of travel for Hollywood and on the way home yet another article was out listing more of the best Melbourne Fried Chicken and to Hollywood’s surprise there was a new entry really close to home, Leonard’s House of Love

This was a quick hit and run after a long day at work. This place had a really cool chilled out set up and seemed like a great spot to hang with some friends and kick a few drink backs with some good ol crispy cluckers. Hollywood’s order was The Hot and Glazed Chicken Tenders with Pickles & Chipotle Mayo.

The order consisted of 3 big pieces of tenders and let us tell you that this chicken was truly amazing, hot steamy freshly cooked and spiced right. The mix with the pickles and chipotle mayo only made it even better.
