Kyochon 1991

Hai there, Eaters.

Last Saturday as always, I went to Kota Kasablanka Mall to do my monthly grocery shopping. What I love about this mall is that besides it is so close to where I stay, also because it has a cool dining spot, called Food Society.
Food Society itself is a place where you will find many interesting restaurants. The ambience itself there is very cozy and nicely decorated.
As you might know, I am such a dying fan of chicken wings. I love it so much so if I see any chicken wings in the menu on a restaurant that I visit, I just gotta order them. And when I walked by that day, I saw a restaurant that served chicken wings.
So this is my culinary diary in Kyochon 1991.

Kyochon 1991 is quite renown is its origin, South Korea. Famous for its delicious chicken wings and drumsticks. Most Indonesian people know this restaurant because of its brand ambassador, Lee Min Ho, whom is a well-known actor. But for me, it all comes down to the food. Is it good? Let's see.

This restaurant has two dining areas. Indoor and outdoor. I prefer to choose the outdoor dining area since it would help me to get better lighting for my photos.
The interior is nice, dominated by elements of wood. It's very cozy. The service was also good. Starting from greeting me, taking orders and delivering the food. It really didn't take long for the food to come out too.

The Menu book

First up, I ordered an appetizer. And since this is a Korean restaurant, I decided to order Kimchi Soup - IDR 15K.

 Kimchi Soup

It came served in a small bowl. As an appetizer, it's so refreshing. The sweet sour and spicy flavors mixed up so well. For my palette it's quite spicy. It used quite a lot of chilli powder. Inside the soup I found cabbages and chopped scallions. The overall taste was delicious. A bit spicy, but tasty and delicious.

The main stars of the restaurant are chicken wings and drumsticks. But you will find other delicacies such as salads, soups, potatoes, and steaks too.
The chicken wings that I ordered has three variants of flavors to choose: Original Wings, Red Wings, and Honey Wings. You can choose the portions too:
5 pcs: IDR 35K
10 pcs: IDR 67K
20 pcs: IDR 130K
Since I just couldn't decided on what flavors to order, I might as well ordered 5 pcs of every flavors.

 Original Wings

First I tried the Original Wings - IDR 35K (5pcs). The chicken wings were covered in crispy batter. It was savory and delicious. The meat was juicy and tender. I was amazed with the flavors. It's so delicious. The level of saltiness was decent enough. First I thought it's quite pricey to imagine 35K only for 5 pcs of chicken wings. But it really measured up with the taste. Excellent.

 Honey Wings

The Honey Wings - IDR 35K (5pcs) for me was the champion. It blew me away. The golden glazed honey batter was soooo tasty. I couldn't stop chewing on them. I never had chicken wings incorporated with honey before, but I can say as my first time I am loving it. The taste was sweet and savory. But the sweetness was very well balanced with the savoriness, so it complemented each other so excellently. This is a must-order if you should ever visit this restaurant. I even ordered another extra portion just because I'm so loving this dish.

 Red Wings

The Red Wings- IDR 35K (5pcs) as you can tell by the color, it's quite spicy. But the level of spiciness was decent. It didn't make me sweat. The taste was also good. It's a bit greasy and oily for my palette. Still delicious though. I'm not a fan of spicy food, but I liked this dish.

 Korean Tea (Ice)

For the beverage I ordered Korean Tea (Ice) - IDR 13K. It came with a separated small cup of liquid sugar. Basically it has the same taste like ocha. I added the liquid sugar to make it sweet. It's really fresh.

Overall conclusion, best chicken wings so far for me. I'm loving the flavors of each variant of their chicken wings menu. They were so delicious. My appetizer also was so good.
You might find this restaurant quite pricey for their chicken menus. But if you're a delicious food lover, you will find it so worth every penny you paid for.
For my list of chicken wings-serving restaurant, Kyochon 1991 is at the top. As a chicken wings lover, I will definitely be back for another bite of that Honey Wings. Or maybe I will try their drumsticks next time. Either way, a comeback is a must for me. Care to join me?

Keep on chewing!
