300 Won Wing Night

If you haven't noticed yet, Mark and I are on our Christmas break right now. We have 11 glorious days off work. Instead of going somewhere warm and glamorous, we decided to stay in Seoul to save some cash. It's been relaxing so far, but we've also managed to keep busy.

A bar in Itaewon (the foreigner's area) has a 300 won chicken wing night on Tuesday nights. That equates to about $.25 chicken wings. Usually, we can't go since we work so late on Tuesdays, so we decided to take advantage with some co-workers and SangKwun this week.

Here's the group.

SangKwun had never been to this bar before and was blown away by all the foreigners there. Literally only about 10% of the patrons were Korean.

The bar offered many different chicken wings, from hot, mild, honey garlic, and teriyaki. There was also an "Insane" option. Everyone there thought it wouldn't be too bad since we're all accustomed to the spicy Korean food. But apparently there was true truth in advertising... everyone was dying and the pics were priceless. Here are some of my faves.

We even had to make a special request from milk... everyone was sweating and tearing up so badly.

It's safe to say we'll never be ordering the "insane chicken wings" at the 3 Alley Pub again. Despite the pain everyone was in, we had a lot of fun and it was a great way to spend a chilly night in Seoul.

Looks like the wings gave Mark "pink eye". Has he recovered?
