Korean food, we'll miss you!!

Korean food....one of the reasons we wanted to come to Korea was to taste you! And you didn't disappoint, we even learned to appreciate your funny kimchi...

In Geneva there are a couple of Korean restaurants and we just love what they serve, especially Korean barbecue and bibimbap (a mix of rice, vegetables, egg and tiny slices of beef, served in a hot stone bowl). So we were very excited to try as many Korean dishes as possible!

Korean food is very healthy and tasty with lots of vegetables, small pieces of meat, interesting little side dishes and great fish and sea food. And as said before, we learned to appreciate kimchi, the national dish. It basically is spicy, fermented cabbage and you really have to eat it a couple of times before you appreciate its taste.

For those interested in Korean drinks: we saw a lot of men getting wasted on soju, rice wine. We had a glass of it, it's horrible! When we were in Samcheok, we went out with our American couch surf host and his friends and we shared a bowl of makgeolli, another type of rice wine. It looks like milk and tastes a bit like cider. I loved it, Benoit hated it.

Just arrived from Manila, our first bibimbap! Best dumplings in South Korea..
