Yo! Sorry that it's been a while since
my last post. But now I'm back and here to share a new find! Korean cuisine has
become more popular in the recent months. Places like Dan Jee, Moon Park and Kim Restaurant have been the big key players
in this popularity. Then there's the growing numbers of places that offer
Korean Fried Chicken (aka KFC) that's added more crunch to the Sydney Food
scene.
Located near the heart of Koreatown in
Sydney CBD is a new Korean food joint that offers a range of KFC called The Sparrow's Mill (across from World
Square on Liverpool Street). The menu may look familiar to some of you. The
Sparrow's Mill is indeed affiliated with Red Pepper in Strathfield. The place
was brightly lit and occupied with diners enjoying jjigae and the place's
specialty, Korean Fried Chicken!

| Banchan |
We were given a set of banchan from kimchi to fishcakes
including daikon pickles, which goes really well with KFC.
 |
| Braised short ribs |
Their braised short ribs ($17.50 which also comes with rice) were an
absolute delight! The beef short ribs were super tender and tasty. It also had
braised veggies and sweet potato noodles in a sweet sukiyaki-like sauce.
 |
| Spring onion fried chicken |
The main star and reason for this visit
was the Spring Onion Fried Chicken!
We opted for half a chicken ($18).
It was all kinds of awesome! It had a nice thin rippled seasoned batter with a
crunch to make one instantly fall in love with it. The meat was very succulent
and flavoursome. We all know that there's a similar dish out there in Koreatown
but the difference is in the wasabi soy sauce. The Sparrow's Mill's sauce is
thicker and sweeter. I prefer this stickier version of the sauce.
So do they have the best Fried Chicken
in Sydney? I would say that it's amongst the best in Sydney. I will definitely
return to try the black bean, soy and sweet chilli versions. The service was
good and the food is worth returning for. I also love the fact that you can get
half a chicken here. I can never get enough of Korean Fried Chicken especially
if it's this awesome!
