Hey everyone,

I just realized tonight as I was eating out, how when I first arrived in Korea I didn't know much bout the food here and the descriptions I found in tourist brochures didn't do it for me.


So lets post pictures of our favorite foods and a brief description of what's in them....maybe one day this thread can be included in a special area of the website dedicated to people just arriving in Korea....


My first and long time favorite is Bibimbop (I wish I could spell it in Korean for you but I don't have the right keyboard)

It is a very simple dish. Fresh veggies such as carrots, cucumbers, mountain muchrooms, zuccini, bean sprouts, sea weed, green onions, cabbage and lettuce are served with cooked ground beef, red-pepper sauce, a fried egg, and sesame seeds sprinked on top. All of this is served on a bed of rice. It can be hot or cold. On a scale of 1-10 of spiceiness it's usually served as a 5, although sometimes they let you add the red-pepper sauce as you like it.
