"886's popcorn chicken is Taiwanese night market technique executed at a level above casual. The basil is added at the correct moment — not wilted, not undercooked. The chili is structural, not decorative. This is the dish that defines what Eric Sze is doing."

"886's popcorn chicken is Taiwanese night market technique executed at a level above casual. The basil is added at the correct moment — not wilted, not undercooked. The chili is structural, not decorative. This is the dish that defines what Eric Sze is doing."
"The chicken is double-fried for the correct texture — crisp exterior, juicy interior, with a residual heat that carries the spice. The basil fries in the same oil, crisps slightly, adds a note that is neither herb nor vegetable but something else. This is street food with a point of view."
