Home of Hot Taste is located in uptown Toronto (north of Steeles), and hands down they have the best KFC (Korean Fried Chicken) in town. Initially, we went there out of curiosity and comments that others have made about this restaurant, but after the first visit, we know Home of Hot Taste will become one of our go to restaurants.
Here are a few shots of their menu. Besides fried chicken, they also offer soup and other snacks like ddukbokki, Japanese pancakes, and deep fried pork cutlet with fries.
There are three levels of spiciness. Since it was our first time here, we didn't know what to expect. But knowing that Koreans have a higher tolerance of spicy food, their level one Spicy Fried Chicken should be good enough for us.
Cubicles are available at Home of Hot Taste, they are great for small parties of 2-4 people, as you get a sense of privacy. Keep in mind, cubicles are usually filled up first, so make sure you go there early to grab those seats.
Pickled radish and lettuce are provided to ease the spicy food.
ATTENTION! The Fish Cake Soup looks nothing like the picture in the menu. The reason why we order the Fish Cake Soup was because the picture in the menu looked very appetizing, but turned out it is very ordinary. Any one can make this easily at home.
We were hesitant to order the Spicy Ddokbokki because their spiciness level was classified as level three. Luckily, the server said they would reduce the spiciness for us and we were very happy with it. The ddokbokki was still very spicy, but we quite enjoy it. Strong garlic taste with a tad of sweetness. Also, the rice cakes were chewy, yet not tough.
TADAA! Fried Spicy Chicken! It was the hottest chicken wings we have ever had in our entire life! Even though it is very spicy, but it is very delicious and you just keep wanting to have more. Besides spiciness you can also taste a little bit of sweetness. It helps a little with balancing out the spiciness of the wings. This level one Spicy Fried Chicken is already at the top of our line, we can only imagine eating the level three Blazing Fried Chicken. *sweat*
We would say the Oyster Kimchi Fried Rice was the highlight of the night. It was filled with all the flavours you can possibly imagine - sweet, sour, spicy, and salty. You don't often get to experience all these flavours in just a single spoonful of rice. It was the best kimchi fried rice we had so far in Toronto. Can't wait to go back and have more!! =9
