Ethiopian Saturday!!

I have been in Korea for the past two years and a half and one thing I was craving from back home is the Ethiopian dish.

The injera,doro,shiro waet and all the rest. ~~~I am in love with Ethiopian food and that is one thing that my Ethiopian friends and my boyfriend will confirm.

For almost two years there was no African shop that could provide Ethiopian food, until maybe a few months ago.

In Itaewon they opened this Ethiopian Restaurant in Itaewon Zion Club. The club was there but they were not selling the Ethiopian food. 

It only operates on weekends: Saturday and Sunday from morning till 9:00 p.m 

 

You get to enjoy a meal and a drink from their bar..

"Doro Wot"
 Chicken marinated in lemon , stewed with red pepper powder sauce and flavored with onions and garlic..And huge hard boiled egg...
Basically you should open the injera and pour the stew "doro" on it and then from there you can munch munch,,,easier if you used your hands to eat....{which is what should be done for almost all Ethiopian dishes.}

Maheberawi..

This one had different types of stews that come with it.

They are freshly prepared vegetables and meat dishes.

This is my favorite Injera..

"Awaze Tibs"

Awaze Tibs lamb or beef cubes sauted with onion,tomato,rosemary and green pepper and then they simmer it in the Ethiopian sauce "awaze" and thus the name.

They also have the traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony. 

It is very interesting to watch them burn the coffee beans and then walk around the restaurant to make the customers smell the burnt coffee beans. It is part of the tradition.

The one performing the coffee ceremony should be decently dressed. 

It is nice getting to experience this tradition even though I am in Korea.

For all those Ethiopian food lovers in Korea...there you go...check it am sure you will love it.
All the food costs on average about 10,000 to 12,000 Korean Won...

peace and love
