Feeling peckish late at night, so we decided to visit Gojib Stubborn Chicken (고집파닭 남포점), which we'd passed by earlier in the day while exploring the area. Popular with the young, Gojib Stubborn Chicken may have a quirky name, but this family-run joint does righteous fried chicken.

Ambience at Gojib Stubborn Chicken seems to be an eclectic mix of lounge and cafe furnishings. The dimly lit place appears to have simply retained the furniture of past owners, though it's comfortable and functional. There's a small window overlooking the street, and the open kitchen offers a view of the frying action.

Service at Gojib Stubborn Chicken is friendly and efficient. The husband takes orders, while the wife prepares it in the open kitchen. The menu has helpful English translations, though I would have appreciated pictures. Cleaning up is performed quickly when diners leave, and requests fulfilled efficiently.

Food at Gojib Stubborn Chicken is focused on Korean fried chicken, using fresh chicken, and flash frying to order. The chicken is light and non-greasy, delicious. Portions are designed for communal group sharing. Prices are wallet-friendly, budget about KRW ₩11,000 / SGD $11 per person.

The Beer Cass (KRW ₩4,000) is a popular South Korean beer, a non-pasteurized lager style beer, brewed by Oriental Brewery in Gangnam district, Seoul, South Korea. It has a bright straw golden colour, with aromas of hay, white rice, corn, and grass. The body is light, crisp, and dry, with moderate amount of carbonation, and tastes of wheat, cornflakes, biscuits, and malt. Has a refreshing grainy sweet flavour, with a dry finish. A popular manner of drinking this is to mix it with plain soju.

Served with every order, the Kkakdugi / Pickled Daikon Radish (KRW ₩Complimentary) has a sharp sour sweet vegetal flavour with a crisp crunchy texture. Alternate eating this with the fried chicken, to refresh the palate between. Good!

Enjoyed the Mozzarella Cheese Sticks (KRW ₩6,000), these were a treat. The firm crunchy crumb-battered exterior, coated with a dusting of parmesan cheese, shatters to reveal the soft gooey melted mozzarella cheese interior. Carries a cheesy salty sweet flavour. Has to be eaten quickly as it cools fast. Good!

The Huraideu Chikin / Fried Chicken (KRW ₩19,000) here has beautifully crisp crunchy chicken skin with salty savoury flavour, light and easy to shatter when bit. Within, the tender juicy chicken meat is fresh and clean-tasting, with meaty sweet savoury flavour. Very addictive. Highly recommended!
