I dedicate this burger to a chef whom I have learn so much from, Chef Loh Mun Hon. Har cheong gai is Singapore's answer to plain ol' fried chicken - and a way more scrumptious one, in our opinion. Chicken wings marinated in fermented shrimp paste add up to one umami-packed. Har Cheong Gai is first marinated and then dipped into a batter or dusted with a flour mixture and left to marinade overnight before deep frying it the following day.
