Lazy Saturday Cravings
On some lazy Saturdays, when you just want to stay at home and be the great bum, first thing that comes into mind when you’ve ran out of anything to think about is food. At the very least, you would want to be the healthy type of bum. Haha.
Since I got here to Seoul, I’ve really, really enjoyed doing groceries and challenging myself with keeping with my allotted budget, sometimes ending up with tangibles that carry the store’s name as brand. Think of SM Supermarket’s SM BONUS. They sure are cheaper.
South Korea’s biggest and most popular supermarket chains are E-Mart and Homeplus TESCO. E-Mart is Korea’s version of the American Walmart, while Homeplus TESCO (by the equally famous Britain store chain), is the main competitor of the leading Walmart-sound-alike chain store. I’ve personally preferred the competitor though, since they are subway-station friendly— there are entrances to the store directly from the subway stations. When I feel the need to go to Homeplus on weekdays, I’d most probably be at Homeplus at the Mullae Station (Line 2, Green Line). On weekends, it’s the chain in Yongdu (Line 2, Green Line) that I go to.
This particular Saturday gave me a downright slothful feeling with cooking for my dinner food, therefore not utilizing my grocery fave buys. I went out and craved for fried chicken and junk.
Meet OH MY CHICKEN! Haha. Talk about catchy business names. It must be some Korean version of our very own Andok’s whole chicken in banana leaves. It may be nothing compared to the bright box package of Korean oil-dipped chicken, but the very fact that I had to eat re-heated and oil-drowned chicken put directly into the box made be miss our very own's whole grilled chicken, with matching atsara.
Here I go with my Korean junk food with our very own bagoong. I think it's what one may call here as FUSION. That word anyway seems to be so common here. So there, the Filipino-Korean snack fusion. Haha.
