Hot Star Large Fried Chicken - 豪大大雞排, Melbourne CBD

Nothing beats Large Fried Chicken from Hot Star.  It is one of my favourites from the famous Taiwanese night market in Shih-Lin 士林 and I am super excited that it has finally made it over to Australian, and in MELBOURNE! 

What is so special about this Fried Chicken you ask? It is pretty much a large piece of chicken breast (with some rib bones still attached) flattened out to about 30cm in length & 10cm in width (I know it's HUGE) coated with delicious 5 spices and what I believe corn flour.  It is then deep fried to perfection, crispy on the outside and succulent on the inside, gosh it is so delicious! If people have tried and enjoyed Taiwanese style Salt and Pepper Fried Chicken pieces "鹽酥雞" before you would love this since it pretty much similar coating but you get a MASSIVE piece of chicken.

A piece of this chicken and bubble tea from Gong Cha next door I could picture myself back in one of those night markets in Taiwan, and you could too!
