Eungkeum tteokbokki (₩7,900) / spice level 1 (Shin Ramyun-level heat) / added cabbage (₩1,500) / added mozzarella cheese (₩2,500).
Loaded with fish cake and rice cakes. They said the spice level was about like Shin Ramyun, so I added cheese to tone it down — and that turned out to be a very smart move.
Fried chicken for 17,900 won: how big is a whole bird?
Fried chicken (₩17,900).
A seriously big bird, fried fresh in clean oil!
Good call not splitting it half-and-half with seasoning. They also gave a generous portion of sauce on the side.
The chicken was fried a nice pale golden color, well-brined, and once tossed in the sauce — instant yangnyeom (seasoned) chicken 👏
Pineapple sherbet, the cooldown after spicy tteokbokki
To finish it off, pineapple sherbet (₩8,000).
The sherbet was the perfect finish to put out the spicy fire — a Yeonnam-dong favorite with everything you need, right down to dessert.
