Yummy Food

I went to dinner tonight with the Canadian girl who lives in the apartment building next to mine. I wanted to share pictures of my meal with you so I took a couple and thought I would post them for all to see. I have had this meal 3 times now and love it. It is absolutely delicious, although I am not sure what it is called!

Here we are sitting on the floor. There is a large hot plate in the middle of the table. At this type of restaurant most people order a family meal that they cook in front of you on the hot plate. They heat it up and come stir every now and then. Since it was just the two of us we opted for the pork meal. We ate at this restaurant last week also and I think they were happy to see us again.


These are common side dishes you see presented with every meal you order. The one on the left is Kimchi, the red kind I talked about in one of my first blogs. It is very spicy and I make myself eat it because it is so good for you! The one in the middle is like a Korean stye fried pancake with little bits of vegetables in it and the one on the right is radish with a chili pepper sauce, yum!


This is the main dish that I really enjoy. The large piece of meat on the right is breaded. I believe it is pork and the sauce on it is a really good gravy that kind of has a hint of ketchup taste to it. The little yellow pieces on the plate are radish. I had never really tried radish before. I always told my mom I didn't like it but I am quite fond of it now that I have tried it here especially with a little sweet vinegar based sauce on it.

The white ball is rice with sesame seeds sprinkled on top. The stuff under the rice is cabbage and carrots with ketchup and mayo on top (I couldn't bring myself to try this even though I said I would try everything, except dog). On the bottom of the plate are sliced cucumbers I think. Anyway, this meal is very good. I highly recommend it. It's great for someone who wants to get a little taste of the west every now and then (I am refering to the meat, definitely not the kimchi!).
