Local food is always in the top of my list when travelling. Eating or trying a local cuisine or delicacy can be an eye opener to a culture strange to ones own. However, to me, Korean food is no longer alien. I've been hosting Korean students for 5 years and managing a dorm full of Korean for another 5 years so I get to sample, taste and cook Korean dishes. In all honesty, I find it easy to prepare Korean food than Filipino food. Really!
Landing in the Land of the Morning Calm, it is in my utmost list to eat the originals...... different kinds of kimchi, eat meals prepared by azzumas. Anyway, here are the pictures of what I ate during my six days travel in South Korea.
 |
| Dokkbuki with kimbap, boiled eggs, kimchi jeon, mandu. Pickled radish is served as a side dish. That's my yummy lunch at Seogwipo Market in Jeju-do. Okay, this meal can also be found in the streets of a metropolitan city like Seoul. |
 |
| Kimchi Bukeom |
 |
| A Korean meal is not complete without side dishes. We had seven (7) side dishes with our kimchi bukeom meal. |
 |
| Korean rice with shrimp and vegetables and topped with fried egg and spring onions at Westin Chosun, Busan-si |
I also had two (2) samgyupsal dinner. The first one was served with beef and mushroom (my first time to eat samgyupsal with mushroom) and the last samgyupsal meal, duck was served, and as I understand it, duck for samgyupsal is special. I also was able to eat at a Kimchi tchigae specialty restaurant in Jeju-do. All I can say is that I'm just too damned comfortable in there with the food, culture and all. Yum!
