South Korea-Seoul-Hanjeonsik Lunch

We had a delicious and wonderful lunch which they called Hanjeonsik, the most expensive food in South Korea. It was once served to the emperor.

You can see the waiters in traditional costumes carrying the whole table to you. We had to sit cross legged on the floor.

Spread on the table are so many dishes of wonderful food. We could hardly believe our eyes. It was so colourful and wonderful.

The waitress in traditional hanbok will cut some of the food in smaller pieces.

This is a cold dish of crabs. Of course our signature dish of chilli crabs is still the best. :)

South Korea-Bibimbap Dinner

This is known as the famous bibimbap (just like our claypot rice), you need to add some red sauce (like chilli sauce but not spicy), then start to mix them around.

After mixing, this is how it looked like. I love scrapping the bottom of the pot for burnt rice, it tasted good. Yummy.

And then this is the accompany soup where I spotted some familar "yong tau foo in it.

There are some tang hoon(glass noodles) and bacon added to it.

South Korea-Teppanyaki Lunch

We left Jeju Island and boarded a smooth ride to Seoul. We boarded the bus with a 2 hours ride to Nami Island. We had lunch at a restaurant near the boat jetty.

It was teppanyaki chicken lunch. It was so good. You can see the steam coming out of the chicken.

After the chicken was cooked, the chef added some rice to it and fry together. Yummy.

South Korea-Ginseng Chicken Dinner

After a long trip, we had dinner at one of the ginseng restaurant in Jeju Island, South Korea.

The ginseng chicken looked yummy but I found it a bit oily because of the skin.

Our korean tour guide teaching us how to separte the chicken and remove the ginseng and red dates in it. They are not to be consumed.

Inside the chicken are some glutinuous rice too.

There are some noodles which we are supposed to add to the bowl of hot ginseng soup.

Oh no kimchi again...hahaha...

Expensive ginseng on display in the front of the restaurant.

We had dinner at one of the restaurant near our hotel

Lunch at Fish Spa Daegu South Korea

Yum Yum, our lunch at Spa Valley were so good. Perhaps the cold weather outside made us hungry and the hot pot of food keep us warm.

Rows of hot pot of food.

The metal bowl consists of rice and the metal spoon and metal chopsticks are the traditional cutlery of the korean. I bought 4 pairs of chopsticks and spoon set back home...lol.

This pot of hot food consists of tang hoon (rice vermicelli), different types of vegetables, three layers of porks, etc. The soup stock is good and we could add more soup and tang hoon when we finished them.

Side dishes of vegetables, kimchi and seaweed.

The seaweed tasted salty and we wrap them with the korean rice and it tasted so good.

I enjoyed this lunch so much.
