Todays Lunch - Lotteria

Lotteria is the Asian equivalent of a McDonald’s or Burger King. It is one of the most popular fast food joints all across Asia. Depending on which country you visit, the menu varies. In Korea, the concentration is on the Bulgogli burgers which was a must try for me. Rather than only sticking to the Bulgolgi burger, I picked up a sandwich that stacked two in one.

The Bulgolgi and Shrimp burger is a long roll that has two patties, the bulgolgi beef and a fried shrimp burger. I have to say it is quite a burger with two totally different sauces. The bulgolgi beef of course, is topped with a bulgolgi sauce, whereas the deep fried shrimp patty with actual chunks of shrimp is topped with a mayonnaise like sauce. Both are delicious in their own way and I think it should stay separate, but this burger is definitely worth splitting between two who are just trying to sample the burger. With many other options on the menu, Lotteria is a must go to in every Asian country you visit! 

Todays Lunch - Burger King

It was another one of those days with the Burger King craving so I just had to get it. This time, I got the Chicken bulgolgi burger along with the "Poutine" fries. A little different from regular fries, yes? These special fries are topped with onion rings, a bulgogi-bbq sauce as well as mayo. For someone who is not in love with the sauce, I would much prefer the Burger King fries alone than with the sauce, but it was definitely an experience and worth a try.

Today's Lunch - Korean Burger King

I love going to other countries and trying out their fast food chains because it is their cultural take on the traditional chain stores. Today's lunch was Burger King's Bulgolgi Burger Meal. One thing about Korean fries is that it's not as salty as the American ones. The coke also has a different taste, not my traditional addictive coke because of the difference in sugar. 

The Bulgogi Burger is quite special though, it is the made of bulgogi meat, topped with onions and a Korean BBQ sauce as well as a white salad dressing that Koreans love. It is a bit of a peculiar mix, but it is pretty delicious. A meal for the price of $4.60, can't find that in much places in America.

The one thing that I do want to share about this meal is the paper spoons that are folded from a flat piece of paper. I love the creativity and ability to recycle products around here. Note to those who are traveling to Korea: know how to separate your garbage, including fast foods stores like Burger King!
