Korean fried chicken feast!
A big Korean sharing feast: fried chicken platters with tteokbokki, sweet-and-spicy squid, honey sweet potato, fries and a fruit salad.
A proper Korean blowout with friends: two big sharing platters loaded with fried chicken and all the sides. ๐๐
What we shared (across two platters):
- Korean fried chicken with fries
- Tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) in a red sauce
- Sweet-and-spicy squid
- Honey-glazed sweet potato and pumpkin chunks
- Charcoal/black sesame mochi balls
- A fruit salad with cream
These over-the-top platters are made for a group, and ours arrived stacked. The fried chicken was the headline, crisp-skinned and juicy, some plain and some in a sticky sauce, the kind you keep reaching for. The tteokbokki brought the chewy rice cakes in that sweet-spicy gochujang sauce, and the sweet-and-spicy squid added springy seafood with more of that addictive red-sauce heat.
The sides kept it interesting: candied sweet potato and pumpkin with a sticky honey glaze for something sweet between the spicy bites, chewy black mochi balls, golden fries, and a cool fruit salad to reset the palate at the end.
It is gloriously excessive eating, the sort of spread where everyone digs in and the table slowly empties. Loud, fun and very satisfying.
Overall: 4.4 / 5. ๐๐๐ผ Crispy Korean fried chicken with chewy tteokbokki and spicy squid, a fun group feast. Would re-do.
