Restaurant Review - Best Croquettes Ever 칠리차차

Chilly Cha Cha 칠리차차 is a hidden treasure that takes fried food to a whole new level. This small Korean owned restaurants cooks up all things deep fried that is absolutely amazing. They also offer the traditional Korean eats of ddukboki and kimbap, but the menu is beyond imaginable. The one thing that is to die for is their amazingly stuffed croquettes. The batter is on point and the food is extremely cheap which makes being full for lunch or dinner within budget. Fried items average at $2 a pop and because it is so cheap, ordering everything on the menu just might happen. 

Although Chilly Cha Cha offers a menu that is low in price and you would assume that their items are not filling, being that it is the equivalent to a Paris Baguette's croquette, these croquettes are palm sized. Consuming two can probably fill you up already! Being that there are so many different kinds to choose from, including a mystery flavored one, there is definitely one that caters to everyone's taste. The most popular ones include the curry, pumpkin, and corn which comes with a mashed potato blend. 

Pictures give this croquette no justice so it is something that you have to try to believe. Initially, I thought it was a little overrated by Eat Your Kimchi, but I've come to realize that it is that amazing. I've been craving for it since I left and realized that this is one of the very few places I actually go back to. Can you say amazing?

With directions from the Eat Your Kimchi website, an additional important note to point out is that form the Sangsu station exit 1, walk straight until the Dunkin Donuts on the corner and taking a right onto the Parking Lot street. When you see the C for U mart on the corner, take that street down to the left. Staying on the right side, Chilly Cha Cha is on the corner across the street from the seven eleven next to a Cafe Bar. It is not exactly on the corner, but towards the right after you see the 7/11.

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Fell + Cole

Fell + Cole originated in San Francisco, but you can find this Gastronomic Ice Cream shop in a small cozy story hidden in one of the Hongdae alleys in Seoul. Just opened in July, the shop offers a handful of vegan, alcoholic and many other delicious flavored ice creams, sorbets, and sherbets. You can find many differently paired flavors that you cannot find elsewhere. That, and there are alcoholic goodies which are the favorites of many. There are of course, the classic wine and even the more traditional flavors like Makgeolli. For just $5 a scoop, it is a must visit on any hot day, but of course I am not one to hold back from eating ice cream in the cold winter days!

Address: 408-1 Seogyo-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul 
Phone: 070 4411 1434
For the easiest way to Fell + Cole in Hongdae, take the Sangsu station on line 6. Take exit 1 from the station and turn back to the main intersection. Make a left when you reach the light without crossing and go straight until you reach the seven eleven on the corner. Take a left at that very street and go straight for three blocks. Fell + Cole will be on your left.
