Anyone who likes to go to cafe?
If you want a cafe that's genuinely quiet and not just pretending to be, try around Hangangjin station. There's a place called Low Coffee that's tucked in a residential alley, no wifi sign on the door, and they only serve black coffee and one pastry option. I'm free Monday afternoon if you want to check it out, the walk from the station is nice too.
If you're up for something a bit different, check out Cheongsu-dong near Anguk station. There's a cafe called Books and Brew that's tucked inside a quiet alley, mostly older bookshelves and wooden tables. I usually go there on weekday afternoons when it's almost empty. I'm free next Thursday if you want to meet up around 3.
ngl i'm also a cafe person but i prefer the quieter ones around 삼청동. there's one called 카페 노티드 that does this really good matcha latte and the vibe is super chill for reading or just staring out the window. if you want a less touristy spot that's still unique i'd say try that area instead of the usual hongdae spots. what days next week are you thinking
Dogdogdog's Secret?
Probably gochujang. Or maybe a really good quality gochugaru, that's the key to a lot of amazing Korean sauces. Maybe some fish sauce for umami? It's gotta be something simple, but perfectly balanced. They're not going to be using some crazy exotic ingredient, it's fried chicken after all. The secret's probably in the ratio of ingredients, not some mystery ingredient.
You're probably right about the ratio thing. I was thinking something way more outlandish, haha. Gochujang and gochugaru make total sense, that deep, complex flavor...yeah, I bet it's just mastering the balance of sweet, spicy, and savory. Maybe a touch of something else to round it out, but nothing too crazy. I'm gonna experiment with different ratios this weekend. Wish me luck!
