- Table & Apron
Soulfood and hearty meals is what you’ll get at Table & Apron. Known for its fortnightly supper clubs on its upper floor, this restaurant is also famous for another crispy delight. Huge pieces of fried chicken are tender, juicy and tasty with its crispy skin! Thai basil is fried with the chicken so you get crispy herbs with every bite. The chicken is brined for a few hours before being dipped in a buckwheat flour batter and fried. Brining keeps the meat moist and the batter comes off as light and crispy. More than just a menu staple, their fried chicken epitomizes Table & Apron’s philosophy of comforting home food.
