My Favourite Korean Dishes from Jeju-Do..YUM!


Here's my favourite Korean Dish - Dumpling in Seaweed soup. It is very light in taste & no porky smell (I hate that!!) with generous dose of refreshing seaweed ... drools ... I want!!!









Oh yes, and dun underestimate this glooey looking thing. It is actually abalone porride from Jeju -Do! Yup yup .. how luxurious right ? But wait a min, where is it green in colour ? Well, its due to the use of the sides of abalone (not the entire one as we wished ... sigh) but we do find pieces of baby abalone in our porridge.

Its really thick in consistency and very filling. For one who dun like porridge, this is great (love the weird colour too!heheheh)





Not forgetting all the delicious side dishes that accompany us at every meal. My favourite is the Kimchi & honey ikan bilis which seems to go well with everything.

The big beansprouts & sea kelp work beautifully with soup and I dunked many of these in my soup.






Next, introducing mackerel hot pot. This is another yummy dish, very Singaporean like since it is quite heavy in taste. Many of our group members enjoyed this lots.

The mackerel have been stewed in soup for a long time till the bones are soft & edible (though Ms Monkey insisted on picking our ALL the bones) and the huge white radish was exploding in full flavour.





Here's another one of my fav soupy dish (bet you have guessed it already) and noticed the white sotong looking slices ? those are actually rice cake (nian gao) !

And the yellow stripes that looks like Japanese sweet beancurd skin ?Those are actually made from fish, something like fishcake but it is very sweet cos marinated in honey. And of cos not forgetting my all time favourite .. SEAWEED!!

ICE CREAM !!! No way !!!hahaha
For those who are not aware, we had ice cream for 6 consecutive days in Korea during our 7 days there! Was only spared on the last day cos I swore off ice cream and threw a fit..hahaha

But honestly, the ice cream is really nice and creamy and yummy.Even the McFurry (Green Tea)was good. Must try for anyone who goes to Korea (except dun eat it everyday!)
