This is a special food edition that could only be
possible thanks to the dear friend I was traveling with. The title of this post
could easily be “Portraits of the Author with Food” because every single photo
that was taken of a snack or meal I had in Korea, featured myself as the focal
point.
Enjoy this post featuring food, and me.
- Food I wished I had but didn't: oh so much, soondobu, chijime, more street food, Korean Ice cream
- Food I had but wished I didn't: our first Korean BBQ meal was disappointing, expensive and best unoriginal, like any old place in LA or Japan, nothing that said “oh, I really am in Korea."
- What should have been on the list: more casual, local joints, and places around universities (they are cheaper and better)
- Biggest surprise: street food – I was so pleasantly surprised with the quality and variety
- Most delicious meal: Korean BBQ at a very famous place that I can’t remember the name of and sadly, I may never find again…
Restaurants: caveat, I know none of the restaurant
names, since we just happened upon whatever place and decided to eat there.
Bibimbap: a favorite of mine
Korean BBQ - twice!
first time: a touristy and expensive place that
was mediocre
second time: an popular and cheap place that was
phenomenal
Dokkboki, fish cake, and Kimbap
rom a small joint
near the university. We literally pointed to three pictures on the menu
outside, and got none of the three items. But what we got was delicious!
Street food
Tornado Potato:
a Curly deep friend potato on a
giant stick. Fun and delicious
grapes in a sugary glaze
Western food:
KFC

Coffee
Korea is obsessed with coffee. I wrote an entire post on it here
