There were seats further inside too, and since we wanted to eat somewhere quiet, we snuck into a table in the back haha (why sneak in, you ask haha) my partner and I are extreme introverts... T_T

## What does the spicy seasoned nurungji chicken taste like?

Finally, the spicy seasoned nurungji chicken I ordered arrives 🌟 Doesn't it look so tempting 🥺❤️

It comes out sizzling on a hot plate, and thanks to that plate we got to eat the chicken piping hot for a long time.

Two big chicken legs 🤤 The textbook definition of crispy outside, juicy inside... such a delicious nurungji chicken... they say it's carefully roasted for 90 minutes over the gentle radiant heat of oak firewood, so how could it not be delicious!!!

## Making chibap: Hetbahn rice stirred into the sauce

There's nurungji (scorched rice) laid underneath the chicken too... it's fun scraping that up too haha. But most of all, this sauce is so addictively delicious... I thought, this is prime chibap territory... the nurungji wasn't even enough, so we ended up adding Hetbahn instant rice haha.

Hetbahn instant rice, ₩2,000

Mix it, mix it, mix it all up!!! Nice and thorough haha.

Press it down, press it down!!! Perfect chibap complete haha. With this sauce, I genuinely cannot resist chibap haha. Guess I'll go stuff myself, dot com.

## Adding Chapagetti noodles for 5,000 won

Still wanted more, so we ordered jjapaguri too, and Jangjakkun nails that as well haha. Is there anything they don't do well? The fried egg on top was absolute perfection.

Mixed the fried egg all in and slurped the noodles up. Ugh... accidentally overate again today...

## Is Jangjakkun Yatap Direct Branch worth it for chicken in Yatap?
