4FINGERS was founded after its creators discovered the best Korean-styled fried chicken in New York’s Koreatown - they knew they had to share it. The recipe has since been refined and perfected, and its fried chicken has been constantly raved about since its inception in ION Orchard mall in 2009. In just two years, 4FINGERS added six more stores scattered all over sunny Singapore. Since then, they have expanded regionally to our neighbours - Malaysia and Indonesia.
