McDonald's in Korea
See, I'm already starting to do the little mini-posts! Anyways, Burger King apparently came to Korea before McDonald's, and is equally as popular here. I eat Burger King maybe once or twice a year, but since there's one right next to my work, and occasionally I get these incredible cravings for Western food that I recognize, I've already indulged myself three times. I've eaten McDonald's a few times as well (and once or twice for a shake or ice cream, which are as good as ever). Bad I know, and I'm going to be cutting back. It's my first couple weeks, so give me a break, OK? It's hard to immediately go from American food every meal to eating Korean food every meal. I mean, I love Korean food, but for every single meal it gets excessive. Anyways, McDonald's and Burger King pretty much taste the same, though of course the coke is much better. What a shame that Coca-Cola, one of the great America icons, is terrible in America and better in any other country in the world. But McDonald's in Korea has a few different meals. There's the Bacon Tomato Deluxe, which is a double stacker burger with bacon and tomatoes. It's awesome, and more filling than the Big Mac. A Big Mac meal is pretty much a snack for me. And there #1 is not the Big Mac, it's the Bulgogi Burger, and the #2 is the Double Bulgogi Burger. I tried it today, and it's very good. The patty is a little different, and it's covered in some sort of sauce...I think it's a thick soy sauce. Anyways, I thought it was the same calibre as McDonald's other burgers, although the Bacon Tomato Deluxe will certainly be my usual here in Korea.
