Sao Paulo 🇧🇷 Korean fried chicken | Listed in my must eat list 👍

🏠 Waker Chicken Brasil 🗺️ Rua Prates, 340 - Bom Retiro, São Paulo - SP, 01121-000 🍗 A Personal Culinary Journey This place holds a special spot in my heart. When I first arrived in Brazil, I lived in a remote state capital with zero decent Chinese food. Waker Chicken was a rare bright spot—their Korean fried chicken became my tastebud savior in an otherwise flavorless landscape. Imagine my dismay when colleagues said it closed down. But months ago, I spotted it in São Paulo! It felt like reuniting with long-lost family. The young Korean-Brazilian owner (always in a fisherman’s hat) explained they’re expanding: "We just got licensing for franchises. São Paulo is our launchpad." Proud to see my old haunt leveling up! 📺 K-Pop Vibes & Fried Chicken Glory Ambiance: K-pop MVs (think Blackpink) play on loop, and the smell of frying chicken mingles with Korean pop music. Owner’s Story: He showed me plans for new branches—posters of crispy chicken dotted with sticky notes labeled "São Paulo," "Rio," "Belo Horizonte". 🍔 The Menu That Stands the Test of Time Must-Order: ✅ Sobrecoxa (Boneless Thigh): Juicy, tender, and perfectly fried. ✅ Sweet Chilli Sauce: Tangy-sweet with a kick—request it on the side for dipping. Portion Tip: A full order feeds 2 easily; solo diners can opt for ½ portion. 💰 Practical Details Cost: ~78 BRL/person Parking: Convenient lot across the street Hours: Open till 10 PM (late-night chicken fix, sorted!) ⭐ Why It’s a 5/5 This isn’t just fried chicken—it’s a taste of nostalgia, resilience, and immigrant hustle. From a remote city savior to a São Paulo franchise-in-the-making, Waker Chicken serves up more than just poultry: it’s proof that good food finds its way to those who crave it. #KoreanFriedChicken #FoodieNostalgia #OverseasLife #FriedChickenLover
