korean fried chicken always begins with the trifecta of condiments. jalapenos on the left, pickled radishes in the center and a salt/pepper blend on the right. normally you dip the chicken in the salt/pepper (since it's not seasoned) and you eat the radish and jalapenos afterwards. the radish is sweet and a bit sour and of course the jalapenos are spicy.
this is the chicken with a "salad" of shredded cabbage with a "thousand island dressing" which is actually a mix of ketchup and mayo.
you can't each chicken without beer. we had two kinds last night: OB and Hite.
we also had spicy rice cakes after the chicken (they actually ran out of chicken which is crazy for a chicken place, but it was tuesday night and i guess they weren't expecting that many people??)
this is a cold stirfried salad with conch, i had to look up what a conch was in english... it's a marine snail that lives inside those really pretty shells.
to finish off the meal we had yellow watermelon. yup yellow! never had it before, but it was amazingly sweet. they said they bought it at h-mart so i'm looking forward to picking up some soon.
Overall - it was a decent meal - i think we've had better fried chicken before, but still it was good to have some old school korean food.
