Korean Food (misc.)

Here is a random collection of Korean food we have encountered since coming to Korea.

Even when you are drinking you get Banchan or side dishes.   In this case a salad of shredded cabbage with a sweet mayo dressing and beer snacks which are like puffed corn rings.


The belgian fry place near us is amazing

Classic Korean BBQ or Galbi.  Lots of banchan come with it.

Haejangguk or hangover stew

 Whats leftover from our seafood ramen.  We bought the bowls from the restaurant because we loved them so much.
 More Galbi

 They LOVE coffee shops here.   And juice.
 Lots of food trucks
 They like cartoon like desserts
 Gamjatang - or pork bone soup.  So good!
 You have to let it cook down like 30 minutes before you can eat it.   Meals here are often an interactive experience.

 Gin and Tonic in a bag.
 Spam fries


 Dakbokkeumtang - braised chicken and potatoes in a spicy sauce
 Kimchi pancake
 This was not the shrimp we were expecting when we ordered it...

 Dakgalbi with cheese

We destroyed it.



Dakgalbi

Galbi or Korean BBQ

Mul-maengmyeon - cold noodles in water - you can order this as a side dish for the Galbi.  There is literally ice floating in it when it comes out.   Typically you put vinegar in it and take some of the hot meat and some cold noodles in one bite.

bubbling hot Haejangguk


Haejangguk (Michael incorrectly identifies this as Gamjatang in the video. This was before he could read Hangul)
