Ordering Chicken at the Han River

In Korea, there is almost no food that cannot be delivered. Fried chicken and pizza are basic; you can get grilled pork belly, sashmi, shaved ice, and even a single cup of morning coffee delivered to your door. The amazing part is the 'speed.' Most orders arrive piping hot within 30 minutes to an hour. On days you don't want to leave your hotel room, or when you crave coffee in the morning, turn on a Korean delivery app. A whole new world will open up!

On a nice day, visit Han River Park. Spread out a mat, and you might see people handing out flyers, or you can order food to a 'Delivery Zone' using an app. How do they find you in such a huge park? Each park has designated 'Delivery Zones,' so you just meet the rider there. Eating fried chicken and beer (Chimaek) while feeling the river breeze will be the best memory of your Korea trip that you absolutely shouldn't miss.

The most popular apps in Korea are 'Baedal Minjok' and 'Coupang Eats.' Recently, both apps started supporting English menus, making it easier for foreigners. What if you don't have a Korean credit card? Try the 'Pay meet' (Pay upon delivery) option. You can pay the rider directly with cash or card when you get your food. (Note: Some stores only accept prepayment, so check first!)

After enjoying delicious food at the Han River, the most important thing is 'cleaning up.' Leaving leftover food and containers can lead to a fine. There are large trash bins located throughout the park. Please separate 'General Trash,' 'Recyclables (plastic, cans),' and 'Food Waste.' As the saying goes, a beautiful person leaves a beautiful mark behind.
