Food!!!

So for those of you who have been wondering what the food is like here in Korea, this post is for you. Normally, now that I've been here for awhile, I enjoy most of the food that I eat. I love ramen (it's basically just like Mr. Noodles back home but spicier). And it's 2,500 won at the restaurant I like to go to. 3000 won if I want Kim-chi ramen. 


 This is kim-chi ramen in the bowl, the red stuff on the plate is kim-chi (pickled cabbage in a spicy sauce), and the yellow slices is radish. Kim-chi and radishes are usually served as side dishes/ appetizers with a meal.           


We've also had duk-gal-bi (spelled phonetically, that's probably not spelled correctly). It's rice, chicken, rice cakes, onions, small pieces of seaweed, and something spicy, all mixed together and cooked before your eyes. Super tasty.

Now, I would be lying if I said that I love all the food that I've tried. I'm not a fan of extremely spicy food. Or anything that looks overly weird. I've tried Cold Noodle soup, which is a soup but made with cold water and ice chunks. Not overly yummy for me. I've also had Katsuo fried undin (I got the name directly from the menu). I thought it would be noodles and seafood, and to be far, it was. But they put some sort of weird thin brown thing on top of it, which looked like flakes of skin and wiggled. It was weird. I tried it, and it just did not work out for me. Needless to say, here's a picture.
