So it actually took several attempts after being turned away each time before we were finally able to get a table at Haeduri in the City. Despite being situated a little out of the way, from the real centre of the city, it's always packed every time we go. This time we finally decided to bite the bullet and take a 40 minute wait just to satisfy our curiosity.
Having to wait for such a long time definitely allowed us to go through the menu. There wasn't too many options but we had our hearts set on KFC. By the time we had our table, we were also immediately ready to order.
That day we tried their mint choco soju, which was on sale. It was without a doubt the worst soju I've ever tasted, like drinking mouth wash. This is coming from someone who loves mint chocolate and mint choc ice cream. It was very lucky we had three people to share it around, otherwise we would have wasted the majority of the bottle.
A friend of ours wanted the seaweed rice balls. There isn't too much to say about this other than it didn't come with as much rice as I would have imagined, an abundance of seaweed and a lot of mayonnaise. It was very tasty but we could have done with more, and the mayonnaise was fairly unusual in this dish.
We also had a serve of Korean steamed egg. Having mastered this art at home, it was fairly standard compared to what I could make. They either made it with water or some very light broth and wasn't as flavoursome as chicken soup would have made it, but the texture was quite nice regardless.
Our main event of the day was of course the Korean Fried Chicken. By the time we ordered, most of the flavours were already sold out. We settled on soy, original and spring onion. Ironically when we asked them for an extra serve of mayonnaise in which to dip the chicken (because it was so dry), we were advised that they had no mayonnaise, despite how much was put on top of the seaweed rice. Anyway the chicken was quite dry on the outside, a little bit more moist on the inside but could do with more flavour. All in all, I've definitely had better chicken at other places. Despite the crowds, I really think that Haeduri was not worth the hype, next time I'll just stick to momo chicken instead.
