Izakaya Style Dishes

If you go to Izakaya style restaurant, they have many small portion of dishes like Tapas.  Lee and I love Izakaya style, so one night I made Izakaya style dinner.   I made “Tebasaki Chicken (Japanese chicken wings)”, “Pork Wrapped Asparagus” and “Halibut and Aioli Potato Tower (My own creation)” for us to feel like we were at Izakaya style restaurant.

Halibut and Aioli Potatoes Tower

Halibut and Aioli Potato Tower

Pork Wrapped Asparagus is really easy and delicious.  You dip it in Ponzu and radish sauce when you eat. Halibut and Aioli Potato Tower was my creation.  I fried thinly sliced potatoes and layered them with sauteed (lightly battered) Halibut.  Finished it up with Aioli Sauce.

Kyo Chon Chicken Wings

Kyo Chon Packaging

Tonight Ayu-chan suggested we try Kyo Chon chicken wings for dinner! Her really good friend Marie-chan has been recommending them for some time now, and we took the bait!  Ayu-chan made the trip to pick up chicken wings for the both of us tonight.

Upon arriving home, I see two bright red and white boxes in two similarly colored bags. I can smell the garlic in the air as we prepare our table to take part in the chicken wings! I also see that we have two kinds of wings, along with the garlic we have spicy wings. We are ready to eat. Itadakimasu!

We both first tried the garlic, and I think we both realize that these are very good chicken wings! The garlic has a very crispy crust, and an addicting flavor to it. The meat inside is as chicken meat should be, moist and tender, not the KFC variety which many times nowadays is mushy and somehow soupy inside. On to the spicy wings! Which we find to be very good, but for some, such as Ayu-chan, it can be very spicy to eat and definitely needs a glass of water to accompany the wings!

Kyo Chon Chicken

All in all, we both agree some of the best fast food chicken wings (korean style) we have had, although the only thing we did notice that may keep us from coming back to Kyo Chon, or having on a regular basis is the price. In our minds this is very, very good fast food chicken wings. Kyo Chon though charges these wings at a very premium price! The cost of our meal was $20 total for two boxes of the tasty wings, and one box has ten wings a piece. It is still a very tasty meal, and my guess is that I am sure we will be back, just maybe not that often.

Lee can cook too..
