My new favourite KFC joint - Bingo & Cook

Apparently the hype for Korean food or whatever Korean stuff is still here and is going to be with us for the next couple of years so just suck it up even if you are not into it (I am neutral as long as the food is good, by the way). Having heard so much good and seen so many mouthwatering photos on Instagram, I had to pay a visit with my friend who is a fried chicken lover.

The interior is well lit with simple yet comfy decor. Quite a spacious restaurant considered it is located in the heart of Causeway Bay.

The menu was rather small but it’s the quality of food that matters. The Korean chicken set with fried, braised and baked chicken seemed very tempting but too bad we had to give it a pass because of the gigantic portion.

Grape ade ($54) is basically a grape flavoured soda (think about lemonade, if that helps). Nothing too special but it made a great thirst quencher for a dinner with fried food.

Not long after the drink arrived we were also served the complimentary salad and 4 type of sauces. The slightly sweet and tangy yuzu salad dressing was so so yummy man! Not to be missed even though it’s only a side. I didn’t even try out the sauce provided as the fried chicken were delish enough on its own.

The fried squid in squid jjlomyn ($108) was spectacular! The friendly waitress cut the squid and rearranged the pieces for us so it’s easier to eat. It was crispy, well seasoned and not too greasy. The noodles were chewy and we loved the kick in the sauce too.

The Korean style chicken ($158) was undeniably their signature dish. Could tell it was nicely done just by its look. Both the sweet spicy and sweet soy sauce flavours tasted great and man the inside was incredibly tender and juicy! The amount of sauce added was just perfectly right so the skin was still crunchy towards the end of the meal.
