I've been binge watching Kdramas lately, I just finished watching I am Not a Robot and currently I am watching Fight for my way, and every time I do this I just can't help but crave for Kfood. Is just me or does this happen to you too? Its all crazy this time I was craving for some Ramyun, Tteokbokki and fish cakes. My sister and I decided to try out Kko Kko for late lunch since we've been seeing the cheese fondue for quiet some time now and see if it'll live up to the hype. My sister and I had very high expectation from Kko Kko, if you want to find out how it fared read on.
Kko Kko Home of Seoul Chicken |
We visited the Kko Kko branch at UP Town Center. We made a reservation earlier thru Booky. When we got to the place it was soooooooooo hot. Seriously feels like the AC was not working properly or something. Geeez I am about to eat ramyun and the AC wasn't helping at all, -1 for that. They have a high tech menu, they'd present you with an Ipad to view their menu.
Kimbap - Original Php 158.00 |
The Kimbap was OK, nothing special.
Let's get cookin'! |
Rabboki
Korean RamenTteok (Rice Cakes), Odeng (Korean Fish Cake), White Onions, Cabbage and topped with Mozzarella Cheese simmered in a spicy soup cooked on the table. Php 368.00 |
I sort of regretted ordering it because its going to be cooked on our table, the heat of that plus the the AC was not enough to cool the place 😬 We were hoping the taste would make up for it since it looks yummy when it was served in the table. The broth wasn't too spicy that's good news for people who don't like spicy food, however it wasn't rich with flavor, It was just OK, nothing special. The Tteokbokki was too soft and so was the Odeng, we didn't over cook our Rabboki because I didn't want the noodles to be over cooked and becomes too thick.
Chicken Cheese Fondue It looks glorious. |
Chicken Cheese Fondue Melted Cheese in a bread bowl served with spicy potato wedges, homemade onion rings and boneless chicken chunks tossed in Yang Nyum Sauce of your choice Php 658.00 |
Let me just tell how glorious looking this Chicken Cheese Fondue was. It was just so beautiful.
The Cheese fondue comes in a bread bowl with Fries, Onion rings and Boneless chicken chunks tossed in Yang Nyum Sauce, we opted for the Classic Soy. I really liked the onion rings than the fries. In the menu it says it is served with potato wedge but what they gave us was fries.. I wish they had potato wedge instead since that would be perfect with the cheese fondue. The boneless chicken was drenched with the Yang Nyum that I barely tasted the chicken itself, plus, there were too much breading and very little chicken. Nonetheless the cheese fondue made everything better. I just wished that there were more melty cheese than the cheese sauce. The cheese fondue felt like it was 95% Cheese sauce and only 5% Melty cheese - Mozarella cheese. I guess this is best for those "Chicken and Beer Moments" - referencing to My Love from the Star Kdrama 😉.
