Taiwan Fried Chicken Singapore: Crispy Chicken Guide
Taiwan fried chicken in Singapore means crispy, golden whole-cut chicken from the night market — served fresh at every I Love Taimei outlet across 14 neighbourhood locations. This women-owned brand has been bringing genuine Taiwanese street food to Singapore since 2009, with no pork, no lard, and no shortcuts. If you want authentic Taiwan fried chicken, this is your guide.
What Makes Taiwan Fried Chicken Different
Taiwan fried chicken isn't a lightly battered nugget or a dry fast-food strip. It's a whole piece of chicken — usually a thigh or a drumstick — dredged in a seasoned flour coating, then deep-fried until the outside shatters and the inside stays juicy. You'll find it at every properly run Taiwan night market, and it's one of the most iconic items on those stalls.
The difference between Taiwanese fried chicken and other Asian fried chicken is in the approach. Taiwanese versions use whole-cut pieces, not minced or formed chicken. The seasoning stays simple — salt, garlic powder, five-spice or black pepper — because the quality of the chicken and the fry speak for themselves. This style is deeply rooted in Taiwan's night market culture, where food is made fresh in front of you, every single batch.
How Does I Love Taimei's Taiwan Fried Chicken Work?
I Love Taimei's menu features XXL Taiwan Fried Chicken — a large cut of chicken that's been seasoned and fried to order. We've been doing this since 2009, and it's still one of our most popular items. The food is prepared with no pork and no lard, so it's inclusive and comfortable for families to share.
Every piece comes out of the fryer when you ask for it. There's no holding in a warmer for hours. That's the Taiwan night market standard, and that's how we operate at every one of our 14 outlets.
If you're curious about the difference between thigh and breast cuts — thigh is juicier with more fat content, breast is leaner. Both are worth trying, depending on what you're in the mood for. We've written about thigh vs breast in detail here if you want the full comparison.
Where Can You Get Taiwan Fried Chicken in Singapore?
I Love Taimei has 14 outlets across the island, from Punggol to Bukit Batok. That means Taiwan fried chicken isn't some weekend-only luxury you have to plan a trip for — it's in your neighbourhood. You can walk in, order at the counter, and take it out. Or use the delivery partner if you'd rather eat at home.
Our outlets are at Waterway Point, Sun Plaza, SingPost Centre, Northpoint City, Junction 8, Lot One, Sengkang Grand Mall, The Woodleigh Mall, Hillion Mall, Nex (Serangoon), The Clementi Mall, Bugis Junction, West Mall (Bukit Batok), and Tampines 1.

What Else Should You Order With Your Fried Chicken?
If you're coming in for the chicken, the rest of the menu is worth exploring too. Taiwan tempura is another night market staple we make in-house — crispy vegetables and seafood battered in the same style as the chicken. Brown sugar bubble tea rounds out the experience, because in Taiwan, a night market trip always ends with something sweet and cold.

Why Does I Love Taimei Serve Taiwan Fried Chicken?
The short answer: because it's what we love about Taiwan's food culture. The brand started in 2009 with a simple goal — bring the genuine street food of Taiwan to Singapore, the way it's made. That includes how the chicken is cut, seasoned, and fried. We keep it simple and honest, the way Taiwan night market vendors do.
