<Daily Korean> English: Where is the potato chip? Korean: 감자칩은 어디에 있나요?
Potato is a food rich in potassium and vitamin C. However, during the slicing and frying process, the nutrients are destroyed. Minerals and vitamins that help our body are lost and turn into high calorie fat foods. I have heard that people who live in Western culture enjoy eating potato chips. But I have heard that potato chips are the main cause of obesity. There are countries that put a high taxation on potato chips to prevent obesity. Koreans also like potato chips. There are a lot of Koreans who like to eat potato chips with beer. I sometimes get potato chips when I get stressed. Would not it be good for mental health if I feel better?
There is something to be aware of when you buy potato chips. You have to check the weight of the sweets. Although the bag is large, the amount of potato chips contained in the bag is often small.
When you go to the store and find no potato chips, you can ask. "감자칩은 어디에 있나요?(gamjachib-eun eodie issnayo?)(Where is the potato chip?) Reference(NAVER 지식백과)

I think you can eat McDonald Bulgogi Burger only in Korea.
Bulgogi is one of the Korean barbecue.
Bulgogi is a Korean dish that usually consisits of grilled marinated beef.(wikipedia)
But Bulgogi Burger's patty is not beef. Bulgogi Burger's patty is pork patty. And it tastes nothing like real bulgogi.
Bulgogi burger consists of pork patty, bulgogi sauce, mayonnaise, and lettuce.
Bulgogi burgers taste sweet. There is mayonnaise and it tastes good. The patty is soft.
How about trying this? If you want to eat McDonald's menu that you can eat in only Korea.
