Korean salads took us a long time to get used to. Dressings are often fruit flavoured and yoghurty, and as you can see here, cherry tomatoes are treated like the fruit they are. |
A typical Korean Thanksgiving gift for a loved one. 12 tins of tuna and 4 tins of "Luncheon meat" (Spam) And check out the bargain! Buy 10 boxes, get 1 free! |
Your Mum doesn't like tuna? No problem! Skip the fish and go for the simple 9-pack of "Richam" spam. Another great deal - buy 5, get 1 free. Spam for the whole family! |
It's not too clear but you see the yellow thing the girl is carrying? A 2-foot bag of crisps! She was just walking along, munching away. I will definitely miss the huge bags of snacks they sell here. |
I know this had already been written about but I thought it deserved mentioning again - this was the infamous (and tasty!) dog soup. |
Tiny bananas! You can see mandarins above and a grape to the left for comparison - so cute! |
BEANS! |
Steamed squid stuffed with rice. Apparently they are as appetising as they look! |
A huge banquet for 5 people! This is 95% side dishes, 5% stuff we ordered. |
Walking along the street one night we saw the following,
in the space of 200 metres...
Not 1... |
...not 2... |
...but 3 crab vans! Who needs access to that many steamed crabs?! |
Dave's favourite pork-snack-drink-combo. The future of hand-free dining. |
Whole, deep-fried birds of some kind. |
What I imagine to be the same birds, raw, opened, and stuffed with some weird berries or something. |
Too cute! Although Super Hans wouldn't be happy. "Pint of Guinness please. No logo on the foam". |
Scallops that we bought in Jagalchi Market... |
Prepared and cook within minutes, along with some huge shrimp. |
And a couple of yummy fish. |
Dave, eating a fish eye. |
Raw beef with onions and a raw egg. Not half bad! |
The taste of summer. I grew to love these ice noodles but Dave still hates them. Either way, eating them is a weird experience that I highly recommend. |
