Korean food

odeng.. mostly seen when they buy street food

KIMCHIIIIIIIIIIIII! My grandmother used to cook them. yummmm!

My homemade cucumber kimchi. Tastes good! *feeling proud* :)

A Korean restaurant opened up in my city around the beginning of this year. Went there just to try it out and it was AMAZING. Apparently the woman behind the counter makes everything from scratch, too. I usually just get the mung bean pancake and tofu bulgogi (though I've had their bibimbap, japchae and kimbap as well). *scratches head* I've actually gone there so much that I'm on a first name basis with them. Recently I've been poking around online for recipes.

I like trying new things. From my anime addiction I picked up some stuff I now make regularly during the year (things like sushi and okonomiyaki). In my mothercountry we have a city with a 'chinatown' (street) not far from where I lived. I tried a lot of different Asian foods there, but mostly with Chinese origin. Strange foods and veggies, and weird candy :D. Loved the steamed buns with sesame fillings. Now the closest Asian shop is one from Cambodia. They have some Korean stuff too, like ramyun (and also ramyun kimchi), but it is very limited. Liked the Cambodian curry's though (they have some take-away). We have some Chinese restaurants, but they serve more chinese-european fusion foods. I don't eat meat, so I'm a bit limited. But I might try kimbap. It is not a far throw from sushi I suppose. The only problem I have is that I don't know how some of these things are supposed to taste. Like sushi I tasted in various restaurants, but okonomiyaki I only tasted my own and a variant my mother made. I tastes great, but maybe it is not at all like how it is supposed to be, hahaha. So when I start on Korean food I really have no reference... The nearest Korean restaurant is more than a 2 hour drive... :P

I made at home. It's easy to make and tasted good

Oddly enough, I still can't quite get myself to like the taste of kimchi, unless it's a very particular recipe. But some of my other favorite foods here are the bulgogi and the bibimbap (rice, usually lettuce, maybe bean sprouts, some kind of meat like tuna, often red pepper sauce, and other things mixed together. Like a salad, but better. ^_^ ) Ddokboki is amazing too, especially when mixed with ramen. :D

I love Korean food. There is a good Korean restaurant in my city. I was there several times. But very expensive :(
