Those who’ve watched the Korean movie Parasite and are now curious to try the food featured in the film can now do so at Chir Chir. With every purchase of a full-portion Chicken dish, you’ll get a free bowl of Ram-Don, a noodle dish typically served with steak. Chir Chir, however, has put their own spin on it with grilled chicken and boiled egg. It’s a meal in itself, so this is pretty much a buy-1-get-1-free deal of sorts – nicely shared among a pair.
Your chosen main dish can be ordered from the following categories in the menu: Signature Menu, Special Menu, Fried Chicken, Dakgalbi & Jjimdak, and Roast Chicken. That’s plenty of choices!
Promotion period: Until 15th March 2020

While we’re all being wary in light of the virus situation, perhaps it’s still worth venturing out to cop these deals – especially if they’re available at places near your home. After all, we all have to get our daily meals in, and it’ll be a waste not to take advantage of these promotions – especially the food ones. That being said, remember to use serving spoons when dining to upkeep personal hygiene!
