Tonight we're having the quintessential Korean feast - it is fried glazed chicken with a
massive jug of beer.
You wouldn't think that fried chicken is a very Korean dish but it is super popular.
In my neighborhood alone, we have more than five chicken places. There are tonnes in my
area too in Pyeongtaek.
This is a typical Korean anju - side dish. Although it tastes like basically nothing
it is addictive. You can't stop popping it in your mouth.
And that there in front of us is three liters of beer. Do you think we've got enough for
tonight? This was not my idea okay?
Gumbae! Our last two weeks in Korea and we're going to toast to an excellent time here and
backpacking adventures in Malaysia. That is so much beer.
Tell us about beer. Well, in Korea there are four major beers. There is the one we're having
now - Cass. There is one called OB, Cafri and Hite.
There is the chicken. Look what we've got there. Our food has arrived. It looks like
a deep-fried pop corn chicken with perhaps sweet and sour sauce. A sweet and sour glaze.
It looks good right?
I have to admit that I love this chicken. It is crispy on the outside and it is sweet
and just melts right in your mouth.
This Korean feast here, of chicken and beer, came to 27,000 Won which is twenty-seven USD
dollars roughly - a little bit less than that. We got a whole lot of beer and a decent amount
of chicken.
There is far more beer than there is chicken, so in order for me to earn a bite of chicken,
I'm forcing myself to nearly drink a whole cup of beer. Otherwise, the chicken would
be all done and we'd just be left with beer.
What are the biggest cities in Korea? Name some of the biggest cities in Korea. The biggest
cities in Korea - Seoul, Busan, Gwangju, Suwon, Incheon. Another city that is in between Pusan
and Daejeon. Daegu!
Okay, try and say something very poetic and Korean. Poetic? I'm just going to teach you
Korean bar etiquette here okay. Say you've depleted your anju. If you want more you call
the waiter over and you say 'Yogiyo' and then you ask them 'Doh Juseyo' which means fill
it up. I'd like some more. Okay? What else can you say? That is pretty good. Alright,
so say you're eating our meal like this, which is delicious. Show us how. And you really
like it - you can say 'Mashiseoyo' or if you want to add emphasis you can 'Neomu Mashiseoyo'
or 'Cheongmal Mashiseoyo' that means it is very delicious. Nice!
Sam keeps saying no more chicken until you drink beer. No more chicken! Well, just watch.
Hahaha! This is my chicken.
This is the final beer update. Look, we completely depleted this jug here. I've drank about 85%
of this. This is the last glass I have. Overall, it was a great night of chicken and beer in
Korea. Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Done.
