| |  dubu duru chigae
My favourite is dubu duru chigae, a Daejeon specialty. It's basically thick slices of tofu in a chili pepper sauce with some vegetables. It's very hot, but I love it. I like anything with tofu - duenjang chigae is another favourite of mine. I also agree with little sage that Gwi-bin is a great restaurant. I'm definitely not a fan of sam gyup sal though, too fatty. I'd rather have duegi kalbi (pork ribs). Beef kalbi is ok, but not my favourite. I guess I like the Korean lunch foods best - chigaes and so on.

| | Chiggae
In winter, sitting on a warm ondol-heated restaurant floor to have a chiggae is something I miss greatly when I go back home. Especially, especially, when the place gives you a fried egg as a side dish. Then I'm happy for the entire day! 
Do you think floor-seating restaurants would catch-on back home? I think Canadians could learn to appreciate ondol floors in winter. I've wondered if I could sucessfully manage such a restaurant back home.
That, or a TUDARI!!! |

It takes a while to get used to it and if you haven't done it for a long time you might still find it uncomfortable standing up afterwards.
What still drives me nutts is those idiots who turn the heat on full and open all the windows. |

Have you tried Budea chigae. This is a by product of the Korean war. It's a chigea with US army ration packs in it. It contains hot dogs and spam. |

I think it would be almost impossible to be vegan here, almost everything has either fish powder in it or an egg plopped on top.
I have tried Budae chigae - it's not good, IMHO.
