Today I ordered Jajjang Myon for dinner for my kids. This is thick noodles in a black sauce with bits of pork and vegetables. Despite not being Chinese food it is only available in Chinese restaurants and is a popular dish to order in. I know it’s not Chinese food because about 10 years ago I had a Chinese Korean student in my class who owned a Chinese restaurant and I asked her. She told me that it’s Korean food, but every Chinese restaurant has it because it’s expected.

One thing I like about ordering food in Korea is that everything you order comes in real dishes, not paper or alumnimum. Once you finish eating your meal, you put the dishes back outside your door and about an hour later the delivery guy comes back and picks it up.

Today I was out with a friend and as we were walking I saw a regular site here. Street food – In Seoul everywhere you can see carts set up selling different kinds of food. This time we saw tempura (in Korean 튀김) and hot dogs. But these hot dogs are not your typical style hot dogs. There’s the heavily breaded and deep fried dog covered in greasy bar-be-que sauce and then the hot dog in a bun which has enough mayonnaise to induce a coronary.

Will be uploading more pics of street food as I see them. Some of them will be things I love to eat and others things you couldn’t pay me to eat (again).

I’m setting up a photoblog here. Assuming everything works correctly smaller sized pictures with a maximum width of 420px will show up in the main blog area, but going to the photoblog will display full-size images of about 640px. Anyhow this is my test post.
