Tu CAN is a small
restaurant in Noksapyeong known for their chicken and chips combo. With a
limited menu of jerk chicken and orange chicken, the main entrée is sided with
salads, rice, and other delicious goodies. With a small menu, the must order is
the chicken where you can share half a chicken between two. The more popular
order is the jerk chicken that is served with a barbecue sauce and a ton of
herbs spiced into the chicken. The orange chicken is served with an orange
sauce and the chicken topped with fried garlic slices.
The two differ in
taste and varies on customer’s taste. Personally, the jerk chicken at Tu CAN is
more favorable because of the sauce that is served with. Nonetheless, both
chicken are baked up the same way, slowly oven roasted and not dry at all.
Because the chicken is small in size, it is able to obtain its juices and
bring in the crowd. Served with a bed of freshly deep fried potato chips and its
own sauce that is recommended to be dipped with the chicken, Tu CAN is a must
visit.
Aside from good
taste, the price of this chicken is extremely affordable and welcoming. Chickens
are priced at just $12 for half and $22 for two halves of both the jerk and the
orange. In addition to the chicken, they serve Mango Salad for just $10, a side
of rice and beans for $3 and a handful of drinks that range in price. The recommended
is the naranja con leche, fresh orange juice and milk which is a great combo
for the meal. They also have caipirinhas, mojitos, pina coladas and more!
This extremely small
restaurant seats roughly 20 guests at one time, but it is constantly packed
with people who are peeping in to get a seat. This spot is famous among the
Koreans as well as foreigners which goes to rave about the food at Tu CAN. That
and it’s pretty impossible to find jerk chicken, a Caribbean and Brazilian cuisine
in Korea. Their bright colored décor is extremely welcoming for a group of
friends to enjoy a great meal. Just keep in mind the wait time for a chicken to
cook up if they run out!
