📍 Cheemc
Finding cost-effective Asian food in the UK is a difficult task. Today, I was recommended by a friend and went to CheEMC Korean Restaurant in Elephant and Castle. Currently, there is only one branch. The restaurant is small, but the staff are busy, so even if there are seats, you have to wait to get seated. Fortunately, the Korean store staff were very friendly, and they asked us to take a seat as soon as we processed the other customers' bills.
🍴 Honey Butter Fried Chicken - Half (£12.9)
Fried chicken covered with powdered honey was wrapped in exquisite greaseproof paper. Half of the portion was already larger than expected. The inside of the store was provided with a very comfortable container for bones, so we didn't have to put all the bones on a plate. The outer skin of the fried chicken is crispy, covered with powdered honey to fill the outer layer with the aroma of butter. The meat inside is tender and hot, and it can be seen that it is fried right away, so the waiting time is longer. Compared to some bad restaurants, every slice of fried chicken here has enough meat; not a single chunk of it has only bones. The lettuce on the side is topped with a spicy salad dressing to neutralize the heat of the fried chicken.
🍴 Kimchi fried rice (£8.9)
A solar egg was added to the fried rice, then sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds. We couldn't wait to open the exquisite dish. The yolk of Sun Egg breaks when touched, and the ingredients and flavor of fried rice are also very delicious. Although there is no meat in the rice, the ratio of rice and kimchi is excellent. You can eat kimchi in every bite, and it's incredibly delicious. Compared to using kimchi to fry rice myself, this one is a higher level.
🍴 Iced jasmine tea (£3)
Finally, to avoid dry mouth after eating fried chicken, we ordered a cup of iced jasmine tea. The jasmine tea here comes out of a tea bag. It has a light jasmine tea flavor, nothing special. Until then, the clerk will kindly give us a full bottle of water, as well as drinks such as Korean soju and juice.
All in all, if you want to eat Korean food in London, I highly recommend you try this place. Perhaps because of the location, the food here is reasonably priced, which is actually much better than the Korean restaurant in Leicester Square. What's more, the distance from the UAL Academy to the restaurant is relatively small at night. I suggest that if you are only accompanied by girls, don't go to the restaurant alone at night!
