I haven't been a month back from Seoul, and this already the second Korean place I've been to in HK. I keep telling my friends about my food adventures and they're like "let's do that here!" and then... back at the hof. I wrote a song about it:
I like chicken. I like liquor. Hof & soju Please deliver.
(Sung to the tune of "Meow Mix" from Austin Powers.)
Anyway, after trying several places with crazy long lines, we settled on Fairyland Chickenpia (I guess it's like a cornucopia... but with the corn* replaced with chicken).
So we got the set B (I think): a plate of (boneless) chicken, some chips, and 2 beers. We actually got two set B's for 5 people and had room for a little dessert.
First up, I disapprove of chips instead of fries. This is a big mark against the place in my book.
Chicken: I liked it. The breading was thick and crunchy (not crispy), it reminded me of the thick breading that comes on chicken tenders in the US. In fact, "really good chicken tenders-- except from different parts of the chicken" is probably how I'd describe this to an American. I'm just imgaining them with some cream gravy... I've had worse things in Korea, but I've also had better. I think the place down the street, Lee Family, does better.
The kimchi pancake was interesting. It was a bit floppy in the middle and a little greasy, and some slices didn't have much kimchi in them. But it was the spiciest kimchi pancake I've had and I eat these frequently. Came with a good dipping sauce. I'm going to give it a B+ for the spice.
As I've just said, the food here is really good. I won't say "excellent," but I would not hesitate to eat here again except maybe for the lack of fries, which I hereby again lament. I think you can get better Korean chicken nearby, but if it was me I'd just go to where the lines were shortest, cuz it's all good.
題外話/補充資料:
They have Makkoli! Doesn't make up for the lack of fries though.
The area in the bathroom where you squeeze yourself in for the urinal is so narrow that they made one of my male friends use the women's bathroom because he wouldn't fit!
*yes, I know the 'corn' in 'cornucopia' means 'horn.' Give me at least some credit.

girls night with korean food we had three dishes, draft beer and a bottle korean rice wine. picture time!
main dish: sour chili fried chiken. portion is good enough to share by 4 girls. chicken is sweet, sour and spicy, we all love this flavour! but the coating of flour is a bit thick. potato chips are fleshly fried, a bit dry though.
err quite a disappointment i must say. the source is watery and can taste nothing more than the spice. the texture of the duboki is good, practically safed this dish.
to our surprise, the korean rice wine costed us hkd100, a bit expensive considering we do not like it very much.
costed each of us hkd170, a good place to taste fried chicken i believe, atomosphere is okay for reunion , a good meal
