Mad Fo' Chicks, Eastwood

I heart fried chicken. ALL types of fried chicken. Japanese Karaage, Southern style buttermilk chicken, Korean style spicy fried chicken and even good ol Colonel Sanders. So when I read about newly opened Mad Fo Chicks (18 Railway Parade, Eastwood) on Bunny Bloggers, I was super excited at the prospect of more fried chicken out in the hood.


The menu is short and sweet and because they’re still new there’s some menu items not available just yet.


Place your order at the counter, stand to the side and watch as your chicken is fried to order before being dunked in your choice of either the mild or spicy sauce.


Take your tray of foods and either sit inside or out the back where there’s a garden vibe happening and also happens to connect to the froyo store next door.


The Small Mad Crispy Original ($6) is pretty bang on, while the pieces are boneless the meat is still surprisingly juicy and not all boring breast meat pieces. The batter is indeed crispy and tasty with its secret herbs and spices.


The boy has ordered the Small Mad Crispy Spicy ($6) which also comes with bonus Topokki, a Korean chilli rice cake (mochi) that has an addictive chewy texture. Since the chicken was freshly fried the batter still retained its crunch even when smothered in the spicy sauce and my god was it spicy. IT BURNED!! I retreated back to my original chicken after one bite but Noods powered through and enjoyed the burning haha


Couldn’t resist the lemonades on offer- the Blue Lemonade and Peach Lemonade were $4.50 each and came in the cute hipster mugs I do so adore. The blue lemonade tasted just like childhood! Blue lemonade icypoles! Sticky and sweet! The peach was a little less sweet which made it more refreshing though reminded me of peach Zappos.


I needed carbs and because I’m a sucker for novelty I had to get the 50cm Tornado ($5), a swirly, thinly cut potato with a whole heap of chicken salt that set my lips a-tingling.

Mad Fo’ Chicks is located on the other side of the station, on the ‘Korean’ side opposite the Eastwood Hotel. It’s child friendly with heaps of colouring in pencils for the kids and er the young at heart 😛
