A Culinary Surprise in Tooting: Discovering Green Choy's Signature Dish

 

Every now and then, you stumble upon a food experience so unique, it leaves you thinking about it for days. That’s exactly what happened to my close friend recently, who, in his typical fashion, couldn’t stop talking about this incredible meal he had in Tooting. Now, being the self-proclaimed food guru among my friends, I know most of the spots in Tooting Market like the back of my hand. So when he started raving about this crazy burger he had—one that he claimed was like nothing he’d ever tried before—I was immediately intrigued.

We were catching up over a drink when he started going on about this burger. He couldn’t remember the name of the place, but he remembered every detail of the dish. “It had this fried chicken, but not just any fried chicken—it was Korean fried chicken! And then there was this seafood twist—tiger prawn and scallop, all in one burger! It was insane!” he exclaimed, his eyes lighting up as he recalled the flavors.

As he waffled on, trying to describe the floral decor of the place and the friendly vibe, I started piecing it together. I knew there was only one place in Tooting Market serving up something that inventive, and then it hit me. “Wait a minute,” I interrupted. “Are you talking about Green Choy? Their Korean Fried Chicken and Tiger Prawn & Scallop Burger is their signature dish!”

His face lit up as he snapped his fingers. “Yes! That’s it! Green Choy! Man, that burger was something else.”

And he’s right—Green Choy is one of those hidden gems that makes Tooting Market so special. It’s not just the bold fusion of flavors that sets them apart; it’s the ethos behind the food. Chef Jose Caetano has crafted a menu that’s both inventive and sustainable, using local, ethically sourced ingredients. The focus isn’t just on creating mouth-watering dishes like Bibimbap, Gochugaru fries, or Kimchi pancakes, but also on ensuring that these culinary delights are kind to our planet.

What’s more, Green Choy goes beyond just good food. The upstairs floral mezzanine provides a beautifully relaxed atmosphere to enjoy your meal, with a great selection of Soju cocktails and organic wines to wash it all down. They even have live music on Thursdays, which my friend must have experienced without fully realizing it. And let’s not forget the sustainable packaging—everything is biodegradable, right down to the edible plates! It’s a commitment to sustainability that makes you feel good about every bite.

So, if you’re ever wandering through Tooting Market and feel like trying something truly unique, head over to Green Choy. Whether you’re a fan of Korean cuisine, seafood, or just love a good burger, their Korean Fried Chicken and Tiger Prawn & Scallop Burger is a must-try. Just be prepared—you might find yourself raving about it for days, just like my friend did.
