Although Fortune Centre has a lot of nice food to try, but for me, the restaurant around there that you must try is Hangawi Korean Food.
Why do I say so? It’s because this is the only place that consistently has a very long queue especially during lunch hour and because of that, everytime I passed by, I would feel intimidated to join the queue.
From what I remember, countless of time I visited Fortune Centre, I had not a single chance to try their Korean cuisine. Kind of sad, but I kept hoping that one day I could try it.
Finally this week my lucky star was shining on me and suddenly I saw no queue in front of Hangawi Korean Food. I was literally shocked and without thinking twice, I directly ordered the food.
But at the time I wanted to order, my mind was blank because I didn’t have any preparation to plan on which menu I should try as I never expected no queue at all.
I tried to ask recommendation from the guy who took my order, but I didn’t get any satisfying answer as he just kept asking me what I wanted.
So anyhow I just saw the menu and chose the first dish that was displayed in the menu: BBQ Chicken Set ($7.50).
After ordering, I got the number, took the soup myself and found the empty table.
It just took a few minutes for them to serve the dish and I got one bowl of rice, one hot plate of BBQ chicken and two side dishes (kimchi and small anchovies).
Their rice seemed a special one. Perhaps they were mixing brown rice with white rice or they were using other type of rice. I didn’t really care about the type of rice because the rice was acceptable for me.
The BBQ chicken colour was brown (I mentioned it as some Korean restaurants served red colour of BBQ chicken). The chicken was tender enough and surprisingly the sauce was tasty enough to eat with rice.
I could easily said that this BBQ chicken was slightly better than the other restaurants that I tried before.
The kimchi taste was also on the spot, crunchy and fresh.
I was happy to finally tried it and I don’t mind to have a second visit only if there is no queue 😁.
