[Closed] Ojju K-Food, Surabaya

While the hype of rolling cheese is still going on, Ojju shocked us with their latest invention called 'Rainbow Rolling Cheese'. I literally saw many food bloggers snapped pictures of colorful cheese atop chicken drumstick and ribs. I could not help but drool over those pics - I'm a fan of colorful food and I never get afraid of the food coloring haha. One Saturday, I got a chance to try it at Ojju K-Food TP5 with my partner in crime, who was none other than my brother.

Following the common practice in every Korean restaurant, a tray of banchan was served to us after our orders were taken. From above to below were kimchi, macaroni salad, oi munchim (spicy cucumber salad) and cream corn. Not sure whether the banchan was refillable, but we were satisfied enough with single portion haha. I love the macaroni salad and cream corn by the way - the cream corn was like a milkier version of jasuke (jagung susu keju).

Chicken Drumstick Rainbow Rolling Cheese - IDR149,000

Here comes the superstar, 5 chicken drumsticks sitting on a bed of colorful mozzarella cheese and potato wedges served in an iron-cast pan. The cheese was mixed around and melted in the pan, inducing a stringy texture of cheese that was then rolled around the chicken drumstick. No worries, a staff will do it all for you. All you have to do is just sit and snapgram the process. If you are concerned about the coloring used for the cheese, they used only natural coloring from turmeric, beetroot, spinach and red cabbage.

The chicken itself was already delicious to savor with or without the cheese. The drumstick resembled KFC's hot & spicy chicken with spicy glaze on crispy batter. Yummy!

Cheesy Korean Fried Rice - IDR29,000
If you are a big eater or you still have some money to blow, better get some kimchi bokkeumbab (kimchi fried rice) to accompany the meat. The fried rice is typical Korean fried rice with kimchi, gochujang and seaweed. This rice was then cooked in the same pan with the rolling cheese.

Overall, it was a memorable experience eating our favorite chicken drumsticks with colorful cheese. With the hefty price tag, I think it is worthy enough given the huge serving. The menu said 'plenty for 2, enough for 3'. They freakin' meant it! My brother and I went home with full stomach and we did not eat anything until the nighttime (we even planned to skip dinner coz we were just that full lol).
