Deep Fried Chicken Skin is the new Crack

Fried Chicken Skin, PappaRich: Sydney Food Blog Review

Guys, we need to talk about chicken skin.

Ever since moving to Australia, it seems that chicken skin has been relegated to the “unhealthy” territory, so much so that to get chicken meat with the skin on requires you to buy the whole chicken or make special requests!

Well there’s one place(s) in Sydney that’s rebelling in the most delicious way: serving up a whole plate of crispy, piping hot, deep fried chicken skin for your eating pleasure. PappaRich.

This is something that brings back memories of my humid, SouthEast Asian childhood, where comfort eating gets elevated to an art form. An art form that has most doctors in a tizzy, sure, but a scrumptious, luxurious beautiful thing nonetheless.

Of course, that’s not the only thing that you can order (the Assam Laksa, Roti and Satay is pretty legit)

And of course, the Hainan chicken with rice noodles is also worth getting.

The Asian Equation: Pappa Rich, Parramatta

Sydney Food Blog Review of Pappa Rich, Parramatta: Char Kway Teow

Chain restaurants are really a double edged sword. If they’re good, you know that you’ll get it consistently good no matter where you go. But if they’re bad, then well, there’s no saving that relationship.

At least you know that you can always trust them one way or the other. So at least there’s that.

Sydney Food Blog Review of Pappa Rich, Parramatta: Satay

I’ve been to Pappa Rich a few times before, and well, they are consistent. Bad news is that they seem to be consistently average – childhood favourites get the slightly-more-authentic-than-western-but-less-consistent-than-asian treatment – but at least you know what you’re getting going in.

Sydney Food Blog Review of Pappa Rich, Parramatta: Char Kway Teow

Which doesn’t exaplin my temporary amnesia everytime I choose to walk in when I’m feeling nostaligic. I mean, I know that I’m not getting the hit of home that I want, but for some reason I can’t help myself. The Char Kway Teow didn’t have the wok hei that I wanted, but the satay was tender and properly spiced.

You win some you lose some I guess. Maybe I should stick to ordering fried chicken skin.

Mmmmm. Chicken skin.
