Photoblog: Red Pepper Republic: Spicy Chinese Cuisine
Exterior Shot. Across from the Airport City Terminal at Coex.
Cold Chicken with Peanut Sauce. It was a refreshing dish, but I found the peanut sauce a bit sweet. I wish they would have used fresh crushed peanuts. Overall, for Seoul, this is a dish with a unique taste.
Sliced Duck with Hoisin Sauce and Chinese Crepes. The Crepes were a tad dry, but the duck had excellent flavor.
The Red Pepper King Prawn was impressive. I loved the presentation and the flavor of the shrimp: they weren't greasy and there was an exciting bouquet of flavors.
Tan Tan Noodles. Yum. I really enjoyed this with the cold noodles and the peanut sauce. I reminded me a bit of Thailand.
The Mango Pudding. Beautiful and delicious with the pearls of tapioca and coconut milk. Yum.
I leave you with a big bowl of Chili'sDan
