There is a small discreet sign almost hidden from view on Ringvägen: “The clothes don’t make the man, but the skirt can make the crossdresser”. In the total chaos of this street, which hosts a large Chinese restaurant and a few bus stops, you’ll find Monster Chicken. This spot is far from being just another chicken-focused kebab shop. Instead, it primarily offers chicken burgers with a Korean twist.
Monster Chicken: Korea in Skantsull!
A Korean vibe has just swept over the Swedish capital. Indeed, the gallery at T-Centralen has also seen the opening of a tiny Korean restaurant. But the Monster Chicken in Skantsull is a true immersion into the culture and gastronomy of South Korea.
The restaurant’s interior is tiny, resembling the back room of a shop. A few tables are scattered here and there, creating a street food Korean ambiance. A waitress comes to take orders. The menu is simple, offering a choice of a few fried chicken burgers. This isn’t the KFC opening soon in Liljeholmen. One unique aspect is the level of spiciness you can choose for your chicken.
It’s a genuine culinary revolution. Rather than adapting to Swedish tastes, Monster Chicken bets on immersion. The chicken is delicious, and the different sauces offered are unlike the usual array of European sauces. A little sour, a little sweet, and above all, different, these sauces give the Korean burger a unique flavor.
The side dishes are also very original, embracing full immersion, like the fried rice cake. A rice fry that you can only taste at Monster Chicken.
