Lotteria is Korea's version of McDonalds. With burgers ranging from the good ol' Hamburger, and Shrimp burgers to the infamous Lotteria Squidburger, along with its modern, but bright decor and uniforms that are starkly similiar to Mc'D's aprons of doom, the reign of the "L Restaurants" is solid in Korea.
Thus enters the Squidburger.
A small, 1,200 won burger, the Squidburger is a small square of squid with lettuce, some weird hot sauce and a sort-of-toasted bun all wrapped together by the metaphysical promise of its squiddy goodness. One bite, of course is insane as the squid is chewier than pretty much anything you'd ever put between two buns, but the hot sauce kicks in, essentially killing all taste sensation you may possibly get from the squid. Not only that, but the sauce is so intense, at some point the burger becomes nothing more than a vessel for a 15.4 bites of pure hot sauce and deep-friend rubberyness. Honestly, I don't know what I was expecting when I bought the Squidburger, but what I ate, didn't really match whatever bonehead and fucked idea of what a Squidburger might taste like in reality.
Next time, I check out the Shrimp Burger, smothered in, of all things, avacados.
