[Romantic Winter Tour] KOREAN CUISINE! (Yummy!)

Hello everyone! So, last November 19-24, 2013, I was one of the participants of the Romantic Winter Tour in South Korea. During our trip, I had tasted different Korean dishes. Before, I thought the dishes would be a bit strange so I would dislike it but I was very, very wrong! You should try it yourself so you would know how delicious they are. So, here are the restaurants we went to and some of the dishes we ate.

1. BOKJEONG RESTAURANT (Samcheongdong, Seoul)
--> roasted thin pork chops with wraps and bowl of rice served with spicy octopus
I really loved this lunch. Served on a really big plate, I really enjoyed the pork chop that I ate. In the Philippines, we don't usually eat raw vegetables but there, I find the meal very, very delicious. The sauce was yummy and even the steamed rice was sticky sweet.


2. SAMWON GARDEN (Seoul)
Okay. I'm sorry. I don't remember the names of the food. But I just remember the place was really really nice and we had a banquet! I first loved their very own vegetable salad and beef steak(I don't know how it is called) there. And we did not finish all the rice because a bit later they would serve hot water and pour it on the remaining rice so it would become rice soup! Fascinating, right? ^_^

3. DAEGWALLYEONG KOREAN BEEF TOWN (Pyeongchang)
--> Korean Beef BBQ (Hanwoo)
My Korean Pastor friend told me the korean beef bbq here is the best. He was right! This was my most favorite meal during the whole trip! It is no ordinary beef bbq! I just can't get enough of it. Absolutely delicious! So yummy!!!!!!

4. 400 YEARS CHO-DANG SOFT TOFU (Gangneung)
--> Soft Tofu Soup
Honestly, I do not like tofu. But, there, I found tofu on a different way! The soup was really tasty but spicy! Haha! I remember I was sweating really hard because almost all the dishes there were spicy! But you can bear it because you want to eat all the dishes! Lol xD And, during that time, there were some ahjummas and ajusshis who were making some kimchi. The ahjumma let me eat some fresh kimchi. Yummy! You can try it there!

5. SAMGYOLIDONGCHIMI MAKGUKSU (Gangneung)
--> Cold Noodles
I personally can't forget this restaurant. It's a secret though! Haha. The specialty of this restaurant is the cold noodles. It's my first time to hear about that kind of noodles. It was with ice! I really love the side dishes there ^_^ There was a certain "pork ball" (I don't know how it's called) that tasted a bit like siomai in my country.

6. IDONGGALBI (Pocheon)
--> Korean marinated meat
I really like the food here. I really like the potato salad and the korean meat.

7. SANWON (Seoul)
--> Kalguksu
You will cook your very own kalguksu soup here! It was fun and the food was very yummy. I had so much memorable and fun moments here because it was the last dinner we had together T-T


P.S. I also ate Tteokboki the first time on our way to Gangwondo. So spicy! And we visited and had some lemon tea and coffee on different coffee shops there. I really can say Korea has really healthy and yummy foods! ^_^ I will eat it again SOON! :)
