JCD Pocha: Waited Ages for Its Post-Pandemic Reopening
đ¶ïž My Recent Obsessions: Midnight Comfort Food at Its Best! No.33 Spicy Chicken with Cheese | Perfect with Rice! Tender & Mildly Spicy This is now my âmust-order No.1 every timeâ! When it arrives, the cheese is still slightly melted, coating the chili-oil-glazed chickenâaroma hits you instantly. Mix it first! Make sure every piece of chicken is covered in sauce and cheese shreds. The chicken is absurdly tenderâeasily pulled apart with chopsticks, no dryness at all. Cucumber, cabbage, and green peppers add crunch to cut through the richness of chili and cheese. The sauce is key: savory with a hint of heat, perfect over white rice. Every grain soaks up the sauce, and one bite gives you âspicy, savory, fragrant, sweetââI can finish two bowls of rice with this đđ! Best part? The spice level is super friendly. Even friends who donât usually eat spicy food can handle itâjust âspicy enough to be fun, not burning.â We always scrape every last bit of cheese off the plate. No.11 Spicy Soup with Pork Neckbone & Potato | Savory Enough to Lick the Bowl! Tender to the Bone A warm bowl of soup at midnight = pure happiness! The pot comes steaming, piled high with pork neckbones. A quick nudge with chopsticks, and meat falls off the bone easilyâtender and flavorful, even the tendons are soft. No struggling to chew! Potatoes soak up the soupâs umami, mushy and melting on the tongue. The broth is savory with a kick of spice, warming you up from the insideâperfect for fall and winter. We always drink the broth until the pot is empty, not even leaving potato skins đ„! đ„ą Classic Favorites: Order Blind & No Misses! Besides my recent obsessions, these old staples are worth tryingâmix and match every visit: No.2 Steamed Slices of Pork Belly : Pork belly is steamed tender, fat rendered out (no greasiness!), wrapped in crisp Napa cabbage. Dip in gochujang (Korean chili paste)âso good; Soft Tofu Soup : Silky tofu melts in your mouth, clams add brininess, mildly spicy and appetizing. A bowl warms you up all over in winter; Galbi (Beef Short Ribs) : Charred slightly outside, tender and juicy inside, coated in garlicky sauce. Lick the meat off the bones! Blood Sausage (Soondae) : Chewy rice-filled sausage, crispy outside from pan-frying. Dip in saltâauthentic Korean flavor; Jajangmyeon (Black Bean Noodles) : Classic Korean black bean sauceârich but not salty, noodles chewy. Filling for late nights. Donât forget the free banchan (side dishes)! Fresh kimchi, bean sprouts, and radishâask for more if you want. Perfect with main dishes to cut grease. đĄ Late-Night Dining Tips: Hours : Open until 11:30 PM â°! After 9 PM and hungry?
