The best part? Prices are wallet-friendly, portions are generous and needless to say – the food is legit and authentic!

As its name suggests, Chicken Clinic at Upper Thomson is a hospital-themed eatery specialising in Korean Fried Chicken. It is the only Korean restaurant in Singapore utilising surgical equipments in its fried chicken presentation.

While they may not serve up the best Korean fried chicken, it is still something you might want to check out when you are next at Thomson.
