Lotteria

Korea's answer to Western fast food

After a relaxing time at Dragon Hills Jjimjilbang (bath house)
followed by a fun (and noisy) "happy hour" at a local norebang (karaoke)
our group decided to take a break from Korean food and have some western grub..

Being used to fast food staples such as McDonalds, Jollibee, Burger King, and In-N-Out to name a few
Korea's answer to western fast food cravings is Lotteria
The popular fast food burger joint!


Funky interiors!






Of course the burgers still had Korean Influences

My friend had the Bulgogi burger which is like your regular hamburger 
but topped with bulgogi sauce rather than the usual ketchup and mayo






I opted to have the Hot Crispy Chicken burger
Which was topped with Mayo whose flavor also had Korean influences

Fun Fact: Ketchup in Korea, especially in fast food joints have a rather distinct taste from the usual tomato ketchup.. they too also have Korean influences such as hints of flavors similar to that of gochujang and ssamjang


There's goes my fast food fix!
