How it started
“Cooking has always been something that I really enjoyed, especially for friends and family on special occasions,” said Nick
During his father’s birthday, he decided to cook up a Korean fried chicken recipe he had learnt a while back from his Korean friend to serve his family members. He was surprised when he saw how much his family enjoyed them hence they cemented the idea in his mind about starting a side business. Nick only daringly started off his food venture after receiving support from his brother and sister-in-law.
How it’s going
Well, the first thing you would notice about Oppa Wingman is their mascot: Oppa Jae who is the modern-day inspiration of a K-Pop Oppa; fashionable, energetic, friendly, suave! The idea of “Wingman” came from both the slang and that we sell fried chicken wings.
“We wanted to give life to the brand by creating a character that people could relate to and remember,” said Nick when he was researching on logo designs.
Currently, Oppa Wingman has 2 flavours Soy Garlic and Yangnyeom (sweet & spicy sauce). He took time and made sure that his recipe for his creations has authentic flavours of South Korea.
According to Nick, the crowd favourite is currently the Soy Garlic! To prove this fact, Oppa Wingman actually sent us a box of their Korean fried chicken and here is the review:
The box had both flavours and let me say: IM A FAN OF THE SOY GARLIC FLAVOUR! The Yangnyeom flavour had a lesser impact on me, and it was not as spicy as I thought it would be, but it still tasted really good! Their chicken is very crunchy and it comes with a pickled radish side dish to wash down the stuffiness. Here is a video of some good crunching:
Overall, it’s a 9/10 for me! Since Oppa Wingman is a relatively new business, I can’t wait to see what they have planned for in the future.
sorry~ missing a few pieces here as I have forgotten to take pictures after munching on the first piece T.T
