I've been meaning to do this for a while as I never have eaten Korean food in my life, or documented what I ate on any holiday. So in true Asian tourist style I felt I had to take photos of almost every food item I consumed.
The thing with Korea is that they have a dish called kimchi, which is pickled cabbage, and they have it with everything. With the nature of Korean food, I might had just as well posted up hundreds of photos of kimchi in different angles, but luckily it wasn't as bad as I assumed. At least after the 5th day there were welcome breaks from the national food of Korea.
So now here are lots of photos of food. The rules are no fast food, food from general stores, or aeroplane food. Everyone knows none of these count.
Obligatory kimchi fried rice
Korean steamboat (with elements of Japanese dishes)
Porridge
Mushroom Steamboat
Steamed Trout fresh from the rivers of Hwancheon
This one is interesting, you mix the rice with the vegetables and soup. After you've scraped the rice out of the pot you can mix it with water to make something that tastes like brown rice tea.
Boiled Chicken with Ginseng
Udon (technically, udon is Japanese)
Baby chicken with ginseng tea and rice noodles (don't think it's vermicelli, but still unsure). There was also ginseng wine there, which I tasted...and didn't like it at all.
Barbecued pork (which is cooked with a weird contraption made out of pipes shown below)
Dessert at a seafood buffet in Myeongdong
Chinese breakfast
Barbecue black pig with kimchi
Fried fish
Joke food:
mixing everything together on the table
Octopus on a cupcake
I have no pictures of/did not post up:
spaghetti at Lotte world
the seafood buffet besides the dessert
Korea hawker food
seaweed soup, which goes with most Korean dishes we had
Kimchi I mentioned is provided with every dish, but I didn't bother eating kimchi after the 3rd day, I was thoroughly sick of it by then.
The tastiest food award goes to the udon breakfast, followed by surprise, the first day of kimchi fried rice.
