Hellow~ This is Ailsa again! Who can say no to fried chicken??? I'm judging you really hard right now because no one can ever resist fried chicken okay. One day, me and bella strolling around Gandaria City and despite we already have so many foods and desserts, we just can't resist the 20% off at Kyochon. So we decided to eat at Kyochon as evening "snacks" ((what)), but now we will be reviewing the one at Kota Kasablanka! Please excuse our badly taken photos because we're just getting started of our foods-photography-thingy back then.
Located at Upper Ground level of Food Society, just like the other restaurant at the same row, Kyochon has half-open places at outside and at inside near the cashier. Last year i went to Seoul for Summer School and i realized that you can easily find Kyochon at tourists attraction. But truthfully i've never tried Kyochon at Seoul, just because there're so many local restaurants that sell the same chicken ((even better)) as Kyochon and there's Kyochon in Jakarta so i can just try it the one at Jakarta he he. The ambiance was just like the one at Seoul minus handsome oppars of course and who can miss Lee MinHo's photos as the ambassador tho? lol. If you realise, i named the title of this post with Chickin not Chicken anyone know why? Because that's how Koreans read Chicken in hangul hahaha.
We've been to Kyochon for a few times already, not always together tho, and tried different kind of chicken that they offered so we will just sum up all the chicken that we've tried till now! Kyochon has 3 different sauces which are soy garlic sauce for original, hot sweet sauce for red, and honey. The first time we tried Kyochon, we ordered their Medium Red Drumsticks (75k) contains of 4 pieces drumsticks. Shockingly, the size of drumsticks was bigger than our expectations ((comparison with the other Korean franchise chicken)), the same size as our usual fried chicken at McDo and so on. We recommend this one for spicy lovers because at first you won't really find it spicy but as you eat more you will find the spiciness hit your throat at the end, that's the typical hot Korean sauce. Bella once ordered their Large Red Wings (110k) contains of 6 pieces wings. The taste was exactly the same and the size of wings were slightly bigger than the mix wings.
The second will be their famous Honey Drumsticks (120k)! Bella ordered the Large one contains of 6 pieces drumsticks. Now we know why all our friends recommend us this one. It was really really delicious! The honey sauces tastes sweet and it was perfectly match with the chicken. We're not a big fan of honey tho but this one didn't really have that typical honey taste but more like the sweetness of honey.The honey one is definitely our favorite!
Last one we will talk about their Mix Wings (99k) that contains 12 wings chicken altogether with 4 pieces of original wings, 4 pieces of red wings, and 4 pieces of honey wings. We already go through the red and honey, so now we will go to the original. The original one was good too but not as good as the other sauces. It was quite salty and make your throat dry. The size was smaller, just like that chicken wings from some brand that you can cook at home, than the normal menu. That was understandable tho because the mix one contains of 12 wings.
As you can see at the picture above, they will always give you radish kimchi. Not sure if it match Indonesians taste-buds but i like it tho rather than the spicy one that i tried once at Seoul. Well, Bella didn't really like it because it tastes pretty weird. Just try it first then judge it for yourself! Maybe if you already familiar with the usual kimchi, you can find the radish kimchi eatable too!
Beside fried chicken, they have other various menu too! Maybe next time we will try their other menu but for now let me review their Kimchi Soup (15k). Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. The soup supposed to taste a little bit spicy and unique sour taste of kimchi, but this one taste plain and the contents inside the soup wasn't that many (huhu sorry).
Not yet finish!! We have one last side dishes menu, Potato Wedges (26k). We read people's review said that their Potato Wedges is a must try. It is indeed a must try menu. Maybe it was just the ordinary wedges, but their seasoning tastes really good and well fried. The inside was really soft and the outside was crunchy.
For the beverages, we've tried Virgin Mojito (28k) and Orange Juice (22k). The Virgin Mojito was really good despite the mint leaves and ice cubes were too many. The orange juice was an instant one (they said) and it was really thick but it was good. The glass wasn't that big tho so maybe you need another glass especially if you order the red chicken.

| Already ate some lol sorry |
For reminder, the chicken need around 20 minutes until its done because Koreans really care about the calories so they have their own techniques for frying fried chicken. The price was a bit expensive but understandable considering the size of chicken and the amount of chicken in it. Just for sharing, in Korea they serves chicken in a large amount around 7 until 9 pieces per plate for 2-3 persons and the size of chicken just exactly the same with the fried chicken we know. Pretty much huh? Koreans really like to gather at night after work and they will go either to Chicken places or BBQ places. You can easily find those two at every streets in Korea. If you wondering why Koreans chicken franchise here serve large amounts of chicken please look at these picture below that i took (and eat of course) in Seoul.

So far, Kyochon is still our favorite Korean's chicken franchise! Worth the try if you haven't! Oh, and they usually have many different promos and discounts so don't forget to ask the waiters!
