Korean food:-)

The first time I came to Korea I thought that the food was one thing that was going to gross me out the most apart from the spitting that the Ajoshi and the ajumas {old men and women}do.

I guess I was wrong because the more I have been there the more experimental I have become with the food. 

I want to try almost everything except for the fishes that look like snakes. I eat spicy food which is not something I was accustomed to.

Since most of  Korean food tends to be spicy and has a lot of meat the choices one is left with is to get used to eating the food, making non spicy food at home, eating at the western restaurants or eat the same Korean dishes i.e those that are not spicy.

For people like me I ended up liking the food and I love it a lot.

I have it most of the times and if I am not having Korean then I treat myself to a nice western restaurant..

Anyways I wanted to introduce some of the food I had like two days ago when I had gone visiting a sick friend in hospital.

DAY 1
Sundae + Bibimpap { 순대 +비빔밥}

      

 

 We ordered some Korean Sausage otherwise called sundae {순대 } and bibimpap which is very famous
among the foreigners.

This is a dish that I guess most of the foreigners in Korea have tried.

It has a lot of veggies and egg and also rice.

This food got its name {Bibimpap}  from the mixing that is done before eating. 비비다 in Korean means to

mix...In the bowl you add the rice and  the red pepper paste which comes with the dish to your satisfaction.

It depends on how hot you like your food.

This was my final mixture!!!

I ate it all until there was nothing left :-)

DAY 2

Kimchijim {김치찜}

I remember one time blogging about my favorite Korean dishes, I had not tried this food yet and now that I have, I feel like i need to delete the post and top this food on my list.

But anyway I will just let it be..I will just add it on the list of my favorites.

 I know after seeing this photo you may want to eww.....{if you have not had Korean food before}

But I love this food and for the friends of mine who are here in Korea and  have tried this dish with me loved it even though most of the time we disagree on what is delicious from what is not.

Basically it is fried Kimchi with meat. That is what it it. I tend to think kimchi tastes better when it is cooked than when it is raw,,,not sure why!!!
Then they serve it with purple rice and some Korean side dishes.
