Korean Restaurant And Food

Welcome to the streets of Myeong dong with galore of Korean cuisines. Korean food usually is very colourful. It has a healthy balance of Ying and Yang consisting of vegetables, meat and rice. If you do not know how to speak korean, just snap the photo with your iphone and show the picture to make your order.

This is a spicy paste toufu dish. It is still boiling hot when it is served. I waited for the volcano to cool down before slimming in the smooth toufu into my throat while the kick of spiciness will linger around your mouth, cost around 6000 won.

This looks like a Japanese Udon noodles to me. The soup is supreme. Not to thick yet not to thin. One sip of the soup and one slurp of the noodles. In less than 5 minutes, I finished the whole bowl without knowing it. Cost 6000 won.

You must try Bibimbab. A dish of rice served with assorted veges and sometimes with some minced pork or beef and usually with chili paste. The Bibimbab is almost like a fast food in Korea, cost around 6000 won.

Usually, you can a bottle of water and some cups. You can top up the water anytime. However if you feel like having some rice wine, you can always try one in korea, served in a chilled glass.

Of course, nor forgetting the condiments that comes with the main dishes. You can ask for refills, practically unlimited, but I believe by the time you ask the replenishment of the condiments for the 3rd time, the boss will probably look at you in a funny way.

Condiments usually varies from each restaurant to another. It can range from fish cakes, sweet anchovies, vegetables, a variety of kimchi and the list goes on. One thing in common, they are all served cold.

Well, Korea is famous for its Kimchi. People there must have Kimchi for breakfast, lunch, dinner, supper and snacks I believe. I like to have it as an appetizer. I usually take it with some rice.

Must try, Samgyetang, ginseng chicken soup. I spent some time looking for the ginseng, only to find deep inside of this whole chicken. Try this dish in the winter, it is usually served with some sea salt, cost around 10,000-15,000 won.

There are many more Korean food that you should try out. I saw a documentary on Korean Food. It said that Korean diet has a high intake of salt. From the fermented kimchi to the soy paste, all of them use quite a bit of salt, which may not be considered healthy for some parties. So, you judge for yourself whether korean food suits you. For me, anything that is tasty goes.
