Travel/Food - Memories from Korea, Jeju Island, Mt. Sorak, Seoul, Vivaldi (Dakgalbi, Bulgogi, Samgyetang)

Korean food is highly nutritious, low calories and are often made from a wide variety of vegetables. Commonly used seasonings are red bean paste, soya sauce, sesame oil, scallions and garlic. The internationally famous Korean Kim Chi is available in many varieties. This fermented cabbage dish is good for your digestive system. Grilled or barbecue Golgi (ribs, pork or beef) and bulgogi(thin strips of marinated meat) are one of the must have food in Korea. Korean barbecue is one of my favorite and they are served with lots of vegetables. Korean people do not hold their bowls and plates while eating. So, if you are eating rice with chopstick, please do not hold up the bowl.
A good lunch of Samgyetang(stewed whole chicken stuffed with rice and ginseng) gave us the energy we need for shopping marathon in Dongdaemun market.

These are some of the pictures from my Korea trip, last year. It was fun traveling with all my friends from PFMB, Amy, Goh, our great CEO Mark and his family. I have traveled alone to many countries, but this time I have my wife with me. A very special trip indeed. Pictures paint a thousand words…………..food, food, food......
