Visit Insadong, streets filled with antique and art stores, galleries, and restaurants inside some of the oldest buildings on the city. The food! Cheap and wonderful Korean reataurants line the streets; Street food to warm you during the harsh winters; sitting on a heated floor with my shoes off and eating a 'Korean pizza' with my dear friend Kim, Me; the soothing effects of atomic-hot kimchee chige or sam gae tang during the headcold season. Tokk manduguk for New Years Day! More panchan (side dishes) than there is room on the table! I could go on and on . . .
Little Stores Everywhere
by jburron
I couldn't understand why my Korean friends would ask where the store was when we were hiking in the woods or at a park or somewhere. Once I got here I understood. Koreans are creatures of comfort (well, so am I) and convenience stores are all over the place.
Within one block of my apartment there are 6 little stores (some right beside each other!) all selling pretty similar products. As well, if you take a stroll down the Han River you'll see many shops like the one pictured on the left. In true Korean/extreme fashion, they are every 50 feet in some areas and non-existant in others. I could never understand how they all stayed afloat financially until I noticed on a hot day that the parks were so packed that you could hardly walk (well, not that packed, but you get the picture).
At these stores there are the usual Korean and some Western snacks and drinks as well as beer, Korean alcohol, toys, kites, ramen noodles and many other goodies (few of which have much nutritive value which makes me wonder why Koreans are so thin).
Korean Barbecue
by crazyguitar
If you are invited to a Korean barbacue never say no. It´s my favourite Korean food. It´s amazing the number of plattes they put on the table. You grill the meat on the table. Usually there are two types: pork or beef.
How to eat it? Take a leaf with your left hand, put some meat inside, garlic and the red spicy sauce, envelop and eat it (one bite).
Kimchi is always present in a Korean table, it´s a very spicy cabbage. Koreans use to drink Soju, arghhhh! The first day is not a problem to drink this kind of liquor but after trying it deeply one time you´ll hate it!
Sometimes after having a dinner you are
taken to a karaoke by the locals.
Bulgogi
by machomikemd
Korean Food, Bulgogi is made from thin slices of sirloin or other prime cut of beef (usually imported since local korean beef is very expensive!). The meat is marinated with a mixture of soy sauce, sugar and other ingredients such as scallions and mushrooms, especially white button and shiitake and rice glass noodles are added and is cooked into an lpg stove! it is Deelicious!
it costs 18,000 won an order but it rises to 55,000 won if using local korean beef!
