Korean barbeque
Tonight, after work, we all went to a barbeque restaurant. It reminded me of when Estelle and I went to the Korean restaurant in Grangetown and the waitress said that the thing Korean people miss the most when they leave Korea is barbequed meat. We had samgyeopsal which is belly pork barbequed on a grill in the middle of the table. We also had kimchi cooked in a trough at the side of the grill (which burnt the roof of my mouth!). To eat, you wrap the cooked meat in a lettuce leaf and add vegetables and sauces. Delicious! When you eat out in Korea, you are bought a selection of side dishes, almost always including kimchi. Kimchi is a national dish and is most commonly made with cabbage, which is pickled with chili and spices. I don't mind the cabbage kimchi, but radish kimchi smells and tastes foul!
