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. 

For those who are attending Burger King for the first time, or any other fast food place in Korea, be sure to check the blog on tips when eating in a fast food location!

Today's Lunch - Korean McDonalds

I decided to fulfill a craving for McDonalds today and skipped out on the Bulgolgi burger after trying it at Burger King and just got the Big Mac meal. I love Korea for how pretty and perfect everything is. The Big Mac is perfectly put together, unlike those back at home that is just slapped together. Best part is, it definitely tasted like the meal back home so it helps to satisfy those cravings that you have! Built to satisfy :]

A few pointers for those who are eating at fast food chains in Korea: separate your garbage. When finished with your meal, there is a slot for ice and leftover liquid from your drinks you did not finish. There is also a place to stack your cups, and a separate garbage for lids and straws. Some places also have a separate disposal for the paper that comes with your tray and finally your garbage. I was definitely confused the first time I was in Burger King, but I'm pro now!

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!
