Ever since that K-drama came out, there has been an insane number of Korean fried chicken places popping up everywhere. My friends and I have been eating this before this K-drama came out and scowled at it for making this Korean food so popular, it's made our favorite place for this to have queues of more than 2 hours, preventing us from eating there ever again. We have constantly looked for alternative places from some pretty bad imposters in Tsim Sha Tsui to awesome Tsuen Wan dai pai dong Kore
Located in Causeway Bay, in a building more known for Japanese bars, is this place that serves Korean fried chicken and beer. Their menu also has various items more fitting for a drink than an actual meal like tteokbokgi and kimchi fries. Fried chicken came in their original to some strange one called basil pesto. Drinks menu not only included Korean beer, Hite, but soju and soju cocktails. Menu is in English and Korean. Waiters are Korean and speak English and fairly decent Cantonese.
Logo is pretty funny.
Restaurant isn't very big but was comfortably spacious and clean. Though it was new, there was 50% full. There was a bar area on one side. Nice wooden tables and chairs made it feel less like a sleazy bar and more like a place to eat.
Eating ustensils for eating that chicken is placed on all the tables. The tiny thongs are used for holding the chicken while you eat. The bucket is for tossing the bones.
Soysauce Garlic Chicken ($178). As I can't eat spicy, we chose soysauce garlic. We weren't sure about the basil pesto so we decided to stick with the classics as our first time trying out the place. As everything is made to order, you do wait a bit. As all fried chicken places give out pickled daikon and salad while we wait for our chicken to be fried, we never really notice it takes a while. This place is a bit diffferent. They bring out the chicken, daikon and salad all at the same time on a pretty wooden serving board.The skin was crispy. Meat was moist. The sauce was sweet with a touch of spice. It oddly reminded me of the same sauce in the food court in Sham Shui Po that serves Korean friend chicken nuggets made by a friendly Korean man. I like that sauce in Sham Shui Po so this was pretty good sauce. Portion size was a bit smaller than our usual favorite place even though it is a whole chicken. But boyfriend reasoned that perhaps it's due the fact we always chose the spring onion version at that place and we eat so it looks bigger from the mountain of spring onion.
Pickled Daikon. This was odd as it's the first time I saw them use red rice vinegar instead of white rice vinegar. It works the same but it looked odd to me. It was still crunchy and tart.
Salad. Usually when they give us the salad, it's shredded cabbage with thousand island sauce. I usually just pick at it as I don't like shredded cabbage salad. But this place uses actual mixed greens. I liked this a whole lot more.
Combined with a soft drink (for me) and a Korean beer (for boyfriend), it came out to $270. Pretty decent fried chicken in a comfortable setting. Will suggest to my friends as an alternative place for fried chicken.張貼
