"Our favourite thing about New Malden High Street is the high saturation of charity shops—hello turquoise jewellery, hello Marmite merch from 1996. One of our other favourite things is the crispy Korean fried chicken at Chick and Beers. A casual solo dining and dinner with mates spot, it has a short menu that consists of chicken in its various forms and Addictive Carbohydrates Covered In Nice Stuff. But don’t get too distracted by the jalapeño poppers because you’re primarily here for a tender moment with gloriously crispy chicken that makes for some truly hypnotic ASMR.
