Korean Fusion Pocha, Lidcombe

With a long due catch-up with my friend, I suggested some Korean fried chicken in Lidcombe. Funnily, we didn't end up getting any fried chicken hahaha. Anyway, we were both lazy asses so we chose to go somewhere close hahaha. Korean Fusion Pocha (30 Joseph Street) is about 5-10 minutes from Lidcombe station amongst the many other Korean restaurants here. We went at the odd time of maybe around 2 so it was rather quiet with only another table besides us. I guess that means we get the whole place for ourselves then! :D Service was nice and the food came really quickly. I can't remember the exact names and price of every dish, but our bill came to $72 for 3 dishes + soup so it was okay~ Portions were good too.

Yayyy! So many sides! Kimchi wasn't very hot at all, which was both surprising and a tad disappointing. The potato mash and pieces of potato were super sweet! Great for any breaks in between the spiciness of food. I think the spiciness of the dishes in this store aren't very high (coming from someone that doesn't really eat spicy) so don't expect anything to be very spicy. Otherwise, sides were all good!

Beef Bone Soup

I love the milky white soup that has absorbed all those beef nutrients. So warm and good! There's no beef bone in this though hahaha, just some noodles, slices of beef and enoki mushroom. I liked this one, it's plain but a great contrast to other spicy dishes and definitely very soothing for the stomach.

Dumplings

I can't remember what these dumplings were called but there were noodles, egg and a bit of veggies in it. I didn't really like this one though, the skin wasn't really smooth and I'm not a fan of the filling either. It's very plain. I usually like food on the plain side but I think this one was way too plain hahaha.

Spicy Chicken w/ Cheese

This one was my favourite of the bunch!! My non-spicy eating friend thought it was bit spicy but I don't think it was really spicy, maybe just a bit spicy. I liked it. It's definitely not super spicy for sure. But dayuum that cheese was soo good with it. Tasted like braised chicken in kimchi sauce with cheese, a tad sweet as well. I think I was just addicted to it because of the cheese hahaha.

Seafood Pancake

My friend and I were so surprised at this one! We thought we ordered an omelette! LOL Well, I don't think she took the order wrong since it's still something like a pancake hahaha, it just has lots of eggs in it that makes it taste more like a seafood omelette rather than a pancake. As an omelette, it tastes rather okay.

Overall, I don't think there's anything special about this place or anything really remarkable about the food. The food is decent  with good servings but there's nothing I'd really especially come back for. Guess it's time to explore more restaurants in Lidcombe then! :D
