Seoul Food

The term “Seoul food” is overused, but then it’s hard to find a substitute as it encapsulate the essence of the food here perfectly.

 

Perhaps we were famished due to the long flight and cold weather, but I thought that our first meal at Seoul was tastiest. It was quintessential Korean food: Kimchi ramen, cheese tteokbokki (spicy rice cake) and kimbap, with a side of kimchi and cured radish.  The rice cake… was the best I had tried in my life, way superior than the one sampled in Kuching or Melbourne.

We got so infatuated with the rice cake that we had it for another 3 times. =)

Then there’s also the Korean BBQ, which we also savoured… 3 times.

Of course, Seoul is not just about the BBQ and kimchi, there’s also the colourful bibimbap;

the ginseng chicken soup and pancake

 

tasty fried chicken – original and sweet & sour

and the food I found most interesting was.. real egg cake!
