Chimek - Perth

Had it once at the Freo Market so I was excited to see what this Northbridge store has to offer.

A lot of anticipation followed the opening of Chimek in Northbridge.

As a lover of fried chicken I had always wanted to try this place, but the only place it was available in Fremantle and when I was in the city one night

With lots of competition around for fried chicken, I had to start somewhere. I ordered the pull pork burger which ended up being pull everything together. It's packed with a lot of ingredients but the balance between dry and wet parts were definitely disproportion. My burger ended up being a glove of food needing more than just the bun to keep it together. Overall though it was a solid - 6/10 The chicken however was the star for the night. The fried batter on the chicken was crispy and full of flavour. The meat was tender and fell right off the bone - 8/10 It was quite a large meal even if it was just the chicken itself but if you're looking for good hangover food, this is the place to be.

Had a craving for chicken and cheese so I rocked at this joint in the morning. I ordered the buffalo NY with cheeses chips. It was really disappointing as the chicken was bland and dry - it definitely needed to be more spicier or at least spicy. The chips were cold also. I guess you gotta try at least once.
