Its official, the Korean fried chicken trend in Calgary is in full swing with a new Korean fried chicken joint popping up in Kensington to challenge Olive Chicken. If you want to try your hand at making your own Korean fried chicken, then check this recipe out. The sweet and spicy sauce is tangy and garlicy, while the simple cucumber pickles (Daikon would have been more traditional) does a really nice job of cutting through the richness of the fried chicken.

I'll admit that every so often I really crave 'Chinese' take out food, and by that I mean those Western classics like lemon chicken, beef and broccoli stir fry, or my all time favourite ginger beef. What might surprise you though is that Chinese people really like their take out meals too, the only difference being that when we decide to go that route we head straight for the Chinese BBQ meat store.
Our favourite place is Sun's BBQ Restaurant. It's a good idea to arrive early in the day/afternoon otherwise all the delicious BBQ pork, duck and Char Sui (sweet roasted pork) will be all gone. Just head up to the counter and order your desired meat by the pound. The secret is to get the meat unsliced so you can heat it up in your home oven and carve it yourself to get the perfect combination of crispy skin and juicy meat. If you are a meat lover and never had Chinese BBQ you are definitely missing out!
