Gastronomical Journal

Ok~ this post will be just purely of the food and cuisine we had since we came here. This is a collection of a few cuisines or food we have had for the past few months here. And yes, this is gonna be a thread I will keep on updating as I travel and have good meals along my way. The events of this are scattered as I don't really remember the details of it anymore. (well for some of them). Here we go...

These here are what its known as Chicken Delivery... Yes they do fried chicken delivery here in Korea. Its actually quite popular among the students here and its quite common to see them making orders late at night or during weekend when the drom's food is kinda bland.

These side dishes were served in a traditional Korean restaurant me and a few friends of us visited as a part of our inter-cultural learning program experience.

Above is a marinated fish in I guess some sort of sweet sour marinade. It actually taste quite spicy.

This noodle like menu is a common side dish for many Korean meals. Kinda looks like Mee Goreng is some way~

Below would be the ever popular icon of Korea, red blazing Kimchi. Kimchi comes in various flavors as are not only limited to cabbages. There are also radish kimchi, cucumber kimchi and even spring onion Kimchi. The variations of Kimchi follows the seasons and some local celebreations.

This noodle here, is usually served during Korean weddings. The meaning behind the noodle represents a long marriage between the couple. I somehow found it similar to the Chinese belief as well. Interesting how things are similar here.

Below is our very own Kurma and Braised Beef Curry. Where did this come from? Well I brought it over, in a can. Anyways, we had it to let local korean student experince our Malaysian food (missing it dearly). They loved it, expcet for the curry which was very spciy for them.

Below is another famous local cuisine also known as Bulgogi or marinated beef. This particular Bulgogi meal we had was in Gwanggali after a concert. We dropped by a small shop ran by three Ahjumahs. The meal was great! No other Bulgogi meal after have ever matched this one here and i yearn to return to the restaurant given the chance.

Below is something random I did unconciously. Throughout the days here I found myself purchasing bottles after bottles of juices, drinks and cokes. And after a few months, I somehow collected this. Notice a little pine-cone below the Cokes.

Above is known as Pajeon 파전or the Korean pancake. This one is made from green onions and mussels. Somehow resembles our Malaysian Siham, like those we used to have in Rock Cafe next to our University. Below are a pictures of some pastry from the many bakeries we visited since our arrival. The three common bakeries and perhaps the favaourite bakeries to our liking are Paris Baguette, Crown Bakery and Tou Les Jous.

There will be more postings on food and cuisines here so stay hungry and stay tuned.
