The food here in S. Korea (34 Pics)

The holy grail of Korean meats. Thick, fatty slices of pork belly meat known as Samgyeopsal. It's cooked on a grill that's in the middle of the table and.. it's amazing.

Complimentary ramen that came after the Samgyeopsal. You'd think you wouldn't have enough room for the ramen after all that pork. You're wrong.

Fresh, raw crabs! Aka Gejang. They're marinated in either soy sauce or this sauce based on chili pepper powder. Koreans also have these side dishes called banchan, as you can see in the picture. Kimchi, seaweed soup, etc.

Close-up shot of the crabs marinated in soy sauce. Mhmm..

Street food! Icecream waffles with your choice in flavor (chocolate chip, vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, green tea). Both of those was $4 total

Korea has an abundance of foreign restaurants. And this place is the most known, most authentic Mexican fusion restaurant in Korea. Called Coreanos, they have huge ass burritos that's filled with juicy beef, sour cream, guacomole, and beans. And those fries there are the Three Wise Fries. Voted best fries in America (Yahoo! Travel / US News) they're served with chicken, galbi (korean beef), pork, three different sauces, onions, and cilantro. All of this for $25

Also street food! Sold in a little store that's on the street, these grilled cheese sandwiches are also stuffed with spices, chicken, and kimchi (if you want)

A chain restaurant in Itaewon. They sell foreign cuisine of all different kinds of cultures (Greek, French, Italian, Indian, etc.) I got the French plate which comes with fries, salad, cooked green beans, and tender chicken in creamy mushroom sauce. Just above my plate, you can see the pizza. Forgot what it's called though... either way, it was goooood.

Another pizza we got at the same restaurant on a different day. Again, forgot the name... just cheesy with pepperonis and pepper

One of Korea's most traditional dishes consumed in the summer (combating heat with heat is their thing) Kalguksu! Handmade wheat flour noodles that's served in a large bowl of broth.

Dumplings that come with the Kalguksu. I can eat these every day.

Huge pile of fried chicken. Best thing is, this was only $9 and it's a serving for 4 people.

Strawberry Patbingsoo! Korean shaved ice dessert with strawberry topping, whip cream, and cheese cake.

Another one of Korea's most famous (and a bit pricier) foreign restaurant called Vatos. I got the Longhorn burger while my friend got the Carne Asada Steak Quesadilla. A lot of foreigners come here to eat and many of the waiters speak English. Great atmosphere and highly reccomend the burger!

This was a part of a huge trend in Korea, where people were obsessed with eating spicy ribs bathed in cheese. Side topping of corn, different sauces, and mashed potato, there's even a scale of how hot you wanted your ribs!

Huge pasta plate for two that comes with garlic bread and a fried egg.

Friends and I came again to the same restaurant for more of that pasta goodness. Got the same seafood plate with a salad and a marinara sauce plate as well. Really good price for a lot of pasta!


Friends and I took a shot at making our own Dak-bokkeum-tang! It's a spicy braised chicken cuisine where you stir-fry the chicken, vegetables, and dduk (rice cakes) in a spicy sauce (gochujang) until only a bit of the soup is left.

Added in noodles

The finished product

Also cooked rice to eat with the leftover sauce. Because ykno.. every meal you have to have rice. duh

Fried chicken! Commonly known as chi-maek, Koreans eat fried chicken with beer. So good.

Koreans take it to the next level with their cakes. Not even pre-ordered but you can buy a cake like this right from the store for only $18-20. Mickey mouse cake for our school librarian who was leaving

Another cake sold by the same chain store. Tiramisu cake on top, chocolate animal kingdom cake on the bottom. Just a chocolate overload
