Old-style boneless yangnyeom chicken, 22,900 won Look & texture: freshly fried boneless chicken, still crisp, is generously coated in a glossy old-style seasoning sauce. A snowy dusting of cheese powder and parsley on top completes the look. Taste: the sauce isn't too sweet but carries savory depth, faithfully recreating the taste of authentic yangnyeom chicken (Korean seasoned fried chicken). ![Close-up of old-style boneless seasoned chicken](https://img.superchart.com/images/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken-17-718kn-900.webp) ![Old-style boneless seasoned chicken dusted with cheese powder](https://img.superchart.com/images/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken-18-vwpyu-900.webp) Being boneless, it's easy to eat in bite-sized pieces, with a standout crispy-outside, juicy-inside texture. The cheese powder adds a nutty richness on top. ### 2. Bacon Hawaiian pizza, 7,900 won Look & dough: golden-brown slices piled high with chunky bacon, dusted with cheese powder on serving. The dough is pleasantly thick yet chewy. Taste: this pizza is the textbook definition of sweet-and-salty. Savory, salty bacon pairs with sweet, tangy pineapple for a clean finish without any greasiness. ![Slice of bacon Hawaiian pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken-19-sue9g-900.webp) Fresh out of the oven, the cheese flavor was rich and intense — genuinely the perfect beer snack. ![Freshly baked bacon Hawaiian pizza](https://img.superchart.com/images/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken-20-47pn0-900.webp) ### 3. Blueberry sour ale craft draft, 8,500 won Flavor & look: served in a gleaming red dedicated glass, the blueberry sour ale is a treat for the eyes first. ![Blueberry sour ale in its dedicated glass](https://img.superchart.com/images/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken-21-zlc5j-900.webp) Taste: this beer blends the sour ale's crisp, tangy acidity with a mellow, refreshing blueberry fruit aroma. It cuts cleanly through the richness of the chicken and pizza, leaving a clean finish. If you're a beer lover, this is a craft beer worth trying. ![A glass of blueberry sour ale craft draft](https://img.superchart.com/images/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken/raymond-isu-blueberry-sour-ale-chicken-22-3aq72-900.webp) ### 4. Melon ade, 6,500 won Look & taste: served refreshingly with ice in a long glass, the melon ade looks cool just to look at.
