Across the road from Coffeesmith on garosu-gil is one of Se7en’s franchise chicken restaurant.  We actually stumbled across this not knowing it was owned by se7en.

We were super hungry and wanted to feed our stomachs something asap before hitting up Coffeesmith. This conveniently happened to be right across the street and had a cute picture of a chicken.

Thinking we were super awesome at eating spicy food, we ordered the LEVEL 3 spicy jjimdak medium size at ~26 000 won.

BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER!

I wouldn’t even call this a meal, it was more like torture! One of us was in denial and kept saying it tasted okay if we dipped it in the bean sprout soup first. LOL

The sauce tasted really yummy though but it was so hot that our mouths were on fire :P so we couldn’t enjoy it as much… if at all.  

I think I gave up after the 2nd piece of chicken haha

Look at all the chilli peppers!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We decided to give this restaurant another shot NOT LEVEL 3 SPICY.

Even when we ordered LEVEL 2 SPICY, I was kinda scared. It turned out alright, still a little spicy if you ask me - but at least it was bearable this time!

We concluded that it was an awesome technique, make your food super spicy so the customers drink more water and get full faster and you don’t even have to put that much chicken in the jjimdak!!! BRILLIANT. hahaha 

Not the best jjimdak I had, but worth the try and if you want to see if you’re lucky to run into some k-pop artists.  A bunch of them have visited this restaurant like 2NE1, Big Bang, Kim Hyun Joong, etc.

Look! we even met Se7en!!!!
