Chimaek(chicken & beer) night




Seoul, August 11, 2014

When Koreans are asked what goes best with cold beer, there is no hesitation for their answers. It's fried chicken. The combination is so popular that a new word was invented to describe it: Chimaek(치맥 in Korean), chi from chicken(치킨) and maek from maekju(맥주 for beer). 




Chimaek is beloved for both delivery and an evening get-together after work. It's not easy to resist temptation for a pairing, especially in summer. Monday was one those nights for me. 



My friend and I went to a chicken house in a Sadang area in Seoul and ordered spicy fried chicken and beer. The beer was so cold and refreshing!  




Then we headed for an iced coffee to ease the spicy flavor from chicken. I ordered Guatemala Antigua, which was rich and strong.
