seoul food for people who love to eat
Korea’s answer to McD’s and BK, Lotteria is undoubtedly the leader in bringing new flavors to fast food here in Seoul. Their latest menu addition is “Shake Shake Chicken”: Basically, it’s the same as the setup for their seasoned fries - a small foil packet of cheese, onion, or chili flavored powder is emptied into a bag full of hot chicken nuggests by you, the consumer, shaken like a polaroid picture (sorry, Outkast! couldn’t resist), eaten, and then the remaining powder can be licked off by those of us without a proper upbringing. Mmmm. Just pretend that you’re dancing around shaking them hard enough to burn off the fast food calories.
2,200 won for a hot bag of 12.

They did this with french fries at McDonalds in Southern China ~2-3 years ago; Kelly Chen was somehow involved with the promotion for it and realeased some sort of “shake, shake” single. I will never forget, as that track was on an endless loop in the store I wandered into at the time & I heard the darn song 8 times during the course of ordering & eating my food.

Thank God there’s been no associated music with this . . . Lotteria has had spiced fries on their menu for years and years now, and we’re surprised other fast food places haven’t tried to imitate them yet here in Korea. Do they still have them in China at McD’s?
