Wednesday Food Talk Ep.3 Fried Chicken: Yeongyang Center, Banpo Chicken, and Hanchu

Yeongyang Center Myeongdong Main

Fried chicken is one of Koreans' favorite for a late-night snack because of a reasonable price as well as its delicious taste. When I was in college, I used to go Yeongyang Center in Myeongdong whenever I have a fat purse. 

Funny thing is I don't even remember when was the last time the price was raised. Now the price isn't seemingly a bitter pill to swallow and I'd like to go to the old-aged restaurant which brings back memories of the past.

Seasoned Chicken with Garlic (maneul yangnyeom chicken) has become popular over recent years in Korea and Banpo Chicken is the most famous place for it.

You can add further piquancy or spiciness with free garlic sauce (right).

 Hamburger Steak here is good.

It is might be rather called sesame burger. :D
