Not sure whether somebody specifically asked for it or it was just easier but we were given the options of Korean favourite Fried Chicken last night. Fro my last trip to Korea I remember Chicken and Beer shops being quite a big thing and as not usually a big fried chicken fan I did end up eating alot of friend chicken.
So when in Rome and all that, so I went for it and was delivered a large amount of chicken! Both regular American kind and the truly lovely (and slightly luminous!) Korean kind. Korean spicy chicken wings are truly awesome, spicy, sweet and so tasty. If your in London i’d highly recommend the Korean chicken wings from Flesh and Buns, they have a couple of locations.
While it was quite a nice change from the usual meals, I must say I ate FAR too much chicken last night, washed down by some of Korea’s finest cooking lager – Cass.
Cass, which scores an unremarkably high 2.6 out of 5 on Untapped, is a 4.2% lager, which I presume involves somebody from the brewery having tasted Carlsberg before deciding to brew a beer. In a shunning of the German purity law of 1516 it’s brewed with rice rather than malted barley which give it a crisp smooth but ultimately tasteless outcome. That said it’s nice and cold!
I’ve already scouted out some craft beer establishments in Korea both near the hotel and further into central Seoul. I am definitely planning a visit to Brewdog’s Itaewon outpost.
