I kept reaching for them before the mains arrived. ![Sweet-and-salty roasted peanuts served before the meal](https://img.superchart.com/images/cityhall-huhugwan-yuringi-bar-seat/cityhall-huhugwan-yuringi-bar-seat-10-10e2w-900.webp) Crunchy pickled radish was served in a clear container. Taking out just what I wanted with the tongs cut through any richness perfectly. ![Crunchy pickled radish in a clear container](https://img.superchart.com/images/cityhall-huhugwan-yuringi-bar-seat/cityhall-huhugwan-yuringi-bar-seat-11-njg0b-900.webp) Golden fried dumplings were topped with a spicy sauce and scallions.

The colorful presentation made me even more excited before taking a bite. ![Huhugwan yuringi showing moist chicken inside](https://img.superchart.com/images/cityhall-huhugwan-yuringi-bar-seat/cityhall-huhugwan-yuringi-bar-seat-16-4v6bk-900.webp) Maybe because it is so well known near City Hall Station, the fried chicken looked especially impressive.
