A Good Chicken

One day, my wife told me to 'call a chicken,' and I was so shocked! Turns out she meant to go eat chicken and have me order it. My thoughts were really a bit naughty, haha! Tonight, we went to this place called JIKKA! The entrance is so colorful that you can't miss it. The restaurant isn't big, but it's just as colorful and cozy as the entrance. The menu is in this vibrant orange color. Let's see what good chicken dishes they have. For drinks, I chose this carrot apple juice! Watching them freshly squeeze it with no added water, it tasted great with the carrot's aroma and the apple's sweetness. The Western soup here is special, made with fresh ingredients and no cream, making it particularly healthy. This soup is made with beef bones and lots of onions, making it very fragrant and sweet, and very comforting to drink. This corn soup looks so rich! The corn kernels are blended until smooth and then cooked with chicken broth, making it fragrant, sweet, and full of texture. It's best to share it between two people. The super sweet sweet potato fries look like golden sticks! They're fried to a crisp without being greasy, and the inside is soft and sweet, made with Japanese sweet potatoes, which are indeed different. The pear sauce shrimp salad is a large portion, enough for the four of us! The salad greens are so crisp and fresh, paired with crunchy and sweet shrimp and some pear, making it a great combination. We ordered quite a few fried items, and this golden armor is the devil among devils. The chicken skin is fried to a crisp like potato chips after removing the fat, giving it a fragrant chicken oil flavor without being greasy. It's amazing. This is the devil's pillar that my wife specifically wanted! It's actually chicken skin wrapped around luncheon meat and fried to a crisp. This snack is really high in cholesterol, so half a piece per person is enough. The handmade crab cakes are also very substantial, with a dry texture and lots of crab meat inside. The fresh aroma is a great combination, and crab lovers should try this. The thick-cut beef tongue is cooked just right, tender and juicy, with a good bite and no gamey taste. The quality is quite good. After eating so many fried items, it's time for some seafood! This garlic butter pan-seared sashimi-grade scallop is paired with a refreshing green sauce. It's soft and smooth, with a fresh taste and a hint of herb flavor, which is quite special. I'm sure everyone has had shrimp cups! This shrimp tempura is made with Thai tiger prawns, which are incredibly fresh and bouncy. The cocktail sauce is also great, with a slightly sour and spicy taste that's very appetizing. A friend loves mussels, so we ordered garlic white wine mussels for them! Don't be fooled by the small size; each one is plump and full of sea flavor. The best companion is white wine, which, combined with garlic, enhances the aroma. The white miso baked eggplant has a sweet and fragrant taste that's quite appealing. The pine nuts on top add a crunchy texture and extra aroma. For grilled chicken, we chose the lemongrass lime grilled chicken, which is only available in Causeway Bay. The plump chicken is grilled to a golden brown, and when cut open, the juices flow out, making my mouth water. How lucky I am that my wife gave me a chicken leg to enjoy! The chicken skin is so fragrant, and the meat inside is incredibly tender. Even though there's a lot of cilantro, it doesn't have a strong green taste, but rather a fragrant lime and lemongrass flavor. It's really delicious and refreshing.
