That night, while wandering around looking for dinner, we spotted this tiny little shop. Nothing fancy at all, but there was this photo of karaage (Japanese fried chicken) that was seriously calling out to me. I was craving something fried, so it immediately caught my eyes.

We didn't go in right away though. They only had two items on the menu, so we thought, "hmmm... maybe let's see what else is around first." But after walking around for a bit, nothing else really interested us... So we ended up coming back. Honestly, best decision ever.

Karaage (Japanese fried chicken meal) EUR 11.80

We ordered both dishes to share and lucky we did, because the portions were actually quite big!

And I'm not even exaggerating here. This was hands down the best karaage I've ever had. Like, seriously. The batter was super crunchy on the outside and the chicken inside was thick, juicy and full of flavour. It also came with rice and cabbage salad which made it a really satisfying complete meal.

Kimbap EUR 8.50

The other dish we tried was kimbap, freshly rolled. Pretty standard, but still really tasty. It also came with cabbage salad on the side, so everything felt nicely balanced.

Overall, such a satisfying meal and the price was surprisingly cheap too. The owner was super nice and friendly too. Sometimes it's really these random little spots that end up being the most memorable.
