Dunkin Donuts | Korea's Best Kept Treats

Dunkin Donuts has been one of the go to places in the Philippines to have a quick treat. There’s a lot to be said about this famous donut restaurant. Currently, there have been competitors that want to dethrone this donut joint with Mister Donut, J.Co, and Krispy Kreme to name a few of those places that has been popping up in the Philippines. But there’s still Dunkin Donut that still have kiosks around the city and a few restaurants that are considered ‘hole in the wall’ that still have enough donuts to keep competition at bay. But in some countries there are more to Dunkin than just donut pastries, and you’ll be surprised why you’ll feel like the local version in the Philippines is kind of holding itself.

Lotteria Burger Lab | Korean Dining Experience

The Lotteria Burger Laboratory is Korea’s local fast-food restaurant that has been around since 2017 as a new concept. In other countries this is the counterpart for Burger King, McDonald’s, or even the Philippines’ Jollibee that serves their burgers while customers wait. The idea of fast service is a game changer with these types of restaurants. McDonald’s in the US and Europe started installing these bespoke touch screen tablets to order their food. Some argued that it spelled the end of working staffs taking your food orders, but that didn’t change it just became an additional option if the lines are long. This concept is different in Lotteria’s ideal way of servicing customers in one of their stores at Gimhae International Airport.

Kraze Burgers | One-Stop Quick Snack

Travelling back in Korea is different from eight years ago, and this time it’s more of responsibility for the business trip. The airline food is good to keep your tummy for the long travels in the sky. But this time landing on South Korea, particularly in Busan was quite an uncanny feeling coming back for so long. Of course, the long travel means there’s room for a late night quick bite dinner, and the fellow Korean who picked me up in airport said it is going to be a long drive that the airport have a burger joint unfamiliar to the foreign in me. Kraze Burgers is that place where it appears to be some generic Korean westernized fast food restaurant.
