THE CHICKEN SHED
Fried chicken isn't only a lunch and dinner food, apparently. At the
Chicken Shed (with locations at Rusty's and Grafton Street), diners
can satiate their cravings as early as 6:30am. The said chicken can
be ordered in a variety of ways, but we're fans of the anytime crispy
sandwich, which simple comes with kimchi mayo, tomato and cheese.
Also check out the chicken rice bowl, which is piled high with sticky rice,
glass noodles, kimchi and a delicious sauce.
