This is taken just outside of the place that we had our first Korean lunch in Seoul. Later on, you can see that most of all the meals are taken at little outlets like this in Korea.

A view of the place inside the shop with all the hotplates set up and waiting for the customers (us!).

Close up of the hot plate. Notice the long white color stuff. That is called ricecake, a sticky chewy food that both of us didnt really fancy. Koreans are big on this type of food, scambling everything together, whether in hot plats, hot stone bowls or hot steamboats. And they have huge servings of vegetables with unlimited flow of kimchi and other side dishes.

Close up of the side dish. From up to down: Boiled Bean Sprouts, bean curd thingy, kimchi

Kimchi (김치) or 泡菜 is a traditional Korean pickled dish. The above is the most common form of it made from cabbage and spicy seasonings. It is commonly served as a side dish and termed as a healthy food. I called it decomposed food since most of the good kimchi are made during winter and left to ferment till the next winter. No offence to any kimchi lovers but I am no big fan of the taste. I have from time to time tried to eat it but my taste buds could not take the taste.

And so, this is how it is eaten. All mixed up and adding some chili peppery sauce. Fried rice? Nah.

Rating for this meal : 3 / 5. Average meal at best. The accompanying seaweed soup is also quite bland.

Nice view of the city out from where I am sitting in the restaurant. I like the winter view. Bald trees. Cool.

To be cont'd....Decksan Spa Castle, Day 2
