WHAT TO EAT (http://www.visitseoul.net/)
Chi Mac ‘Chicken + Beer(Macju in Korean)’

Have you ever tried chicken with beer? Um… Yammy!
Now is the time to experience Korean food culture.

It’s the king of late night cravings and the main culprit of love-handles ‘round the country. It also happens to be the top small business choice of retirees. Korea’s fried chicken is juicy and crispy, often fried twice or even three times for that special texture. Each chicken franchise offers their own special seasoning and over a dozen different versions of “yangnyeom chicken”. Fried chicken is undoubtedly the go-to snack for Koreans.

Fried chicken pairs best with beer so Koreans coined the term “Chi Mac” to mean just that. Chi Mac is going global with Korean franchises opening in North America and Asia. Not that you have to go New Jersey or Singapore for chi-mc, we give you the source here in Seoul. Eat responsibly or your waistline may change for the worse.
