Crisp - Fried chicken with unique style

One drama once said: Fried chicken and beer are the things to celebrate the first snow in the year. However, as the big fan of fried chicken, it is the thing to celebrate everything in life for me!!!! If you get a little bored of the traditional fried chicken like me, maybe it is the time to try something new, such as Crisp.

Crisp is usually very crowded at dinner time leading to a long waiting time, various from 10 minutes to 20 minutes. The seating area is quite narrow. If you are a small group, you usually need to share tables with others. However, the unique fried sauce here do worth the long waiting time and uncomfortable seating.

There are four choice for the fried chicken, Seoul Sassy, Barbecue, Buffalo and Plain. My favorite is always the Seoul Sassy, the unique korean style sauce tastes a little sweet and garlic. Barbecue sauce is also hot in the restaurant, however, I don't like the combination of sweet and spicy a lot.

Buddha bowls is the rice bow topped with various kinds of vegetables. Mum... Healthy food! Haha~~~ The buddha sauce is put on each table as well as the spicy sauce. But, do not mistake the spicy sauce with the bowl sauce, for the spicy sauce is horribly spicy... I wasted most of my bowl at the first time for I added a lot of spicy sauce instead! Stupid me!!! T.T

By the way, there is a great deal in store, $19 for the whole chicken with two sides and two bottles of soda drink from Monday to Thursday. Kimichi is really good here for it is not that spicy!!! Haha~~~~

Java & Mug - Korean style cafe in Chicago Korean Town

Cafe culture is so popular in Korea. When you are in Seoul, you can easily find a cafe which offers great drink and delicious drink. One of my friend told me, in korean couple culture, it is always the boy treats the dinner and the girl pay for the coffee, lol~

When I visited Seoul in last winter, I visited a lot of cafe, the coffee, food, atmosphere left me a deep impression, so it is so excited to find a korean style cafe in Chicago, which serves great waffle, coffee and Bingsoo. :-)
