Well I guess the first thing that comes up to your mind when you order Korean food is - omfg %#*$!!!!!!!! can someone give me a glass of water???!!!!! (gladly water comes for free in every restaurant and is served before you order the food). Most of the food is veeeeeeery spicy. Well for me it was not a problem, because I like that kind of the food. But it was fun looking at others trying hard not to cry or not to choke and drinking plenty of water :) Or even more fun, looking at exchange students trying to master eating food with chopsticks :)
Well at the beggining I had a few problems eating with chopsticks as well, because they are a bit different from those that I knew, but in general I didn't have much problems with the food - I loved it, especially
Kimbap
(something similar to sushi - products rolled in rice and seaweed and it was extremely cheap - 1000W ~ 2lt so I ate it a lot ^^)
Bulgogi
(marinated beef, usually comes like soup - though the view might not be so pleasing at first, the taste is amazing) and
Korean BBQ
Kimchi
Funny thing happened when I was going back to Lithuania. I was sitting next to one Korean man. Kimchi was served during the flight and guy saw that I didn't touch even a piece of kimchi, so he asked me if he can take it :D I gave it with pleasure :D
Well Koreans have some unusual dishes, like dog - gaegogi (개고기) - (yup they do eat dogs, but not the ones that are running on the street ^^, they have special breeds raised for food) or live octopus- sannakji (산낙지) - but I haven't tried any of those... Well I think my stomach is too weak for that kind of experiments (well actually - no, I was just afraid to taste it, I admit it...).
And now some personal experience ordering food ^^
We were in Korea just for two days (as I remember), so me and my roomate (Monika) decided that we need to taste some Korean food. So we just went to some random restaurant which was the most attractive to us. The first problem that we faced was reading... We couldn't understand anything (I knew how to read hangeul not to understand it), so gladly there were some pictures and we pointed at the first one. Well U can see in the pictures what kind of food we ordered then ^^ . I couldn't say that it was tasty as hell, but it was as hell expensive - we paid 40.000 One more thing - THANK U (whoever u r) for the idea of blogs and for the people that fill them. I got all crucial information I needed before going to Korea ^^. Without that I wouldn't even knew that in most restaurants you don't need to leave any tips :)
P.s. Later we found some restaurant with Lithuanian flag ^^
we were guessing if they could have some traditional lithuanian food :p~~~ unfortunately :D anyways we went there several times, because they had bulgogi (which I loved soooooo much!).
Well I think that's all for now :)
Bye (damn it, suddenly I started feeling hungry O.o)
P.p.s. I do not own first, third and fourth photos I stole borrowed them from internet... Hope nobody is gonna be mad because of that. All of us are friendly, aren't we? ^^
