Finger Lickin' Good! Korean Fried Chicken Hot Spots - Hapjeong /Hongdae, Seoul, South Korea

The Cafe BBQ - Hapjeong

Chicken platter - 27,000 won

Koreans sure know how to make fried chicken, some of the best fried chicken I've ever had has been in Seoul. Well seasoned and super crunchy! 

The first place, well I'm still kind of unsure what this place is called so I'm gonna go with "The Cafe BBQ".

We ordred the "chicken platter" which consisted of chicken, a small side of fries, corn chips and a free garden salad which fed three people.

Outdark Chicken House - Hapjeong

First restaurant in Seoul to actually have customer service, I was stunned. Though the service here was better than most places they still mixed up our order. 

After repeating twice that we only wanted the fried chicken and not the half and half combo, we still got served the half and half combo which consisted of both fried and marinated chicken. 

As we were starving we let it slide and dug in. The chicken was super crunchy and well seasoned I couldn't have been more satisfied, the marinated chicken was better than I expected so I guess it was a win win situation. 

The only negative about the marinated chicken was that it's messy and they don't provide any wet towels here.

Half and half chicken (fried and marinated) - 17,000 won

Our chicken came with a decent amount of fries and wedges topped off with tteokboki(fried glutinous rice which it could have done without). By the end of it we were stuffed like two christmas turkeys!

Outdark gets pretty busy during dinner so make sure to get there early to avoid waiting in line.

Moja in the House - Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan

First night in Tokyo, such an amazing international city and super excited to try something I've never eaten before, which brings me to this place.

Moja is one of Tokyo's newest restaurants, though they only opened in March they are already known for their chicken & waffles. 

I have always been curious about this dish yet scared, but tonight is the night I give it a try. Out of all places to finally eat this I do it in Japan of all places, ironic. I know.

Chicken & waffle

Here it is! 

The chicken had was so flavoursome and crispy, the waffle.. well it was a waffle, don't forget to douse this baby with maple syrup and voila! (Would be even better if it came with a side of slaw or something to freshen it up.)

Who ever thought these flavours would work together is a genius! So If you're in Tokyo, do yourself a favour and try it. 

Finished the night off with a drink downstairs at The Guinguette and yes there was a table charge but its worth going to.

Overall Moja has super cool interior and great food, you won't be disappointed. It's also pretty big so we didn't need a reservation.
