Fantabulously Fantastical Food

Food - a necessary and enjoyable part of life. Food brings people together, it makes us happy, it is a universal language - I love food. So, I decided, what better to post on than the food I've come to love here in good ol' Korea! So here is a small sampling - the tasty tantalizing tidbits in which my taste buds now take pleasure.

Bibimkoogsoo - cold, spicy noodle dish.
I don't even know what this actually is but it's
an extremely addictive rice treat.
That seaweed covered roll? Kimbap, my new food I can
eat anytime - morning noon, or night.
Lotte cookies are the best (although the chocolate
ones are better than the ones pictured here.


American pears I greatly despise. But the
Korean pear I adore. It's like an apple - but not.
The ever wonderful bibimbap - vegetables, rice, and fried egg.
Dolsot (steaming hot) is my favorite kind.
The bag doesn't lie - these snacks
are sweet and delicious! ^_^
Kimchi - I do love me some
fermented cabbage! lol


If all Ramen in the U.S. were as good as Jin
Ramyeon, it would've been a larger part of my college diet.


Hangwa, a slightly sweet light and airy
rice cake snack. A very traditional food
to eat on Chuseok.

Just a couple of the many variations of tteok (rice cakes).
Some I like better than others, some I really don't enjoy
one bit. lol

Samchi gui - Spanish mackerel. Never thought I'd ever
eat a fish with its face still attached - but it was
amazingly delectable!
Japchae (many variations of the spelling) - check out all
our side dishes, too!

  2. The Korean pears are awesome. Last winter one of our pharmacy customers brought us in one he had picked up at a Korean grocery store in the cities, (his deceased wife was Korean), and it was amazing. They are huge and so flavorful. I am a Kim chee fan as well. My sister in-law, Cindy, has made it a few times. It is very popular in Hawaii, where she is from. Love the Blog. You are a great writer. Keep it up. Love and Hugs to you. Aunt Denise
