...II. History and background Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change. Originating from ancient agricultural and nomadic traditions in the Korean peninsula and southern Manchuria, Korean cuisine has evolved through a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends. Korean cuisine is largely based on rice, vegetables, and meats. Traditional Korean meals are noted for the number of side dishes (반찬; banchan) that accompany steam-cooked short-grain rice. Kimchi is almost always served at every meal. Commonly used ingredients include sesame oil, doenjang (fermented bean paste), soy sauce, salt, garlic, ginger, pepper flakes and gochujang (fermented red chili paste). Ingredients and dishes vary by province. Many regional dishes have become national, and dishes that were once regional have proliferated in different variations across the country. The Korean royal court cuisine once brought all of the unique regional specialties together for the royal family. Meals are regulated by Korean cultural etiquette.Korean cuisine has evolved through centuries of social and political change.

...restaurants in Seoul. Any suggestions with maps? Challenge accepted. The difficulty of writing about restaurants in Seoul is that the culinary scene changes so rapidly. Restaurants suddenly close down and become coffee shops overnight. Not exaggerating. Now, if you’re willing to do the footwork, I’ll lay down a great tour to get a taste of the classic, traditional, quirky, and new. You’ll need comfortable walking shoes and an ample appetite. Day 1 – The Touristy North You gotta hit the main spots in your first couple of days. Gwanghwamun, one of the palaces, your first of many trips to Insa-dong. My rules in this area are to look for places off the main road, packed with office workers. Avoid places that look like franchises. Also avoid Korean restaurants with Japanese written up front. Those are tourist traps. Gwanghwamun Jip 광화문집 Up near the palaces is one of the last holes-in-the-wall in Seoul that is legendary for its kimchi jjigae (kimchi stew). It’s a tight squeeze, but luckily ordering is easy. They basically only serve two things–kimchi jjigae and gyeran mari (rolled omelette). The jjigae is notable for its sourness and spice, which balances well with the smooth omelette. It’s a good way to wake you up. Explore Gwangjang Market and try some bindaeddeok. That’s always fun. For dinner you can head down a bit. Samhae Jip 삼해집 I just tried this place out recently. I’ve been on the hunt for restaurants with some history. In the alley maze south of Jongno 3-ga Station...

...It has always been the most awaited part of the college life of every CTHM student, I guess. Countdown on every calendar, unending shopping of winter clothes and on the making of shopping lists, those are the things that I used to do whenever I daydream and got excited for this trip. Furry boots, trench coat, cute earmuffs, cottony mittens and warm scarf, all of us dreamt of wearing those stuff. But how would that be possible for a weather like this here in the Philippines? That won’t seem cool in here. But finally, here comes the chance for us to be in fashionable winter clothes and experience the cold weather. Anyeong-haseyo Seoul, Korea! The class organizers brought us here with the theme, “1Seoul: A Blissful Wander to the Heart of Korea.” The trip was well organized with a proper itinerary of a 5 days stay in Seoul. It all started on the 1st day of March. I was really not in the mood to dress up for winter because it’s really hot outside. About 30 degrees was the temperature in the Philippines but I have to be prepared for the cold weather in Korea. Seeing my huge 18kgs luggage and a hand carry made me decide to go to the meeting place (Plaza Mayor) earlier than the call time. Upon arriving within the area, many parents were there to take my blockmates to the bus and bade their last goodbye hugs and kisses before leaving the country. It was night then, around 7:00 in the evening, we left UST and proceed to the airport. On the way to the airport, we prayed the Rosary to ask...

It was spicy and had a weird taste. Now, I could tell how good and delicious it is. I used to invite my friends over to dinner, so I can introduce the kimchi to them. When the vegetable would mix with the radish, garlic, red pepper; you could see the red color combining together with vegetable which looked so pretty. In Korean, kimchi is a very popular dish.

Since we went with tour group, we knew we were in good hands. Incident number one. We were supposed to take a bus to check in at the hotel, as instructed. I guessed I was overeager and without thinking. I ran to a random bus and knocked on the door. The young bus driver opened the door and looked at me with a puzzled expression. He started asking me something in Korean, which of course I did not understand. I tried to reply in English, but before I could make the attempt, my father quickly apologized to the driver and walked me back to the tour group who was watching from afar, shaking with laughter. It turned out that the bus I was running to was not the bus we were supposed to take. I dismissed my burning cheeks. I was glad I could be the butt of everyone's jokes on my first day in a foreign country. It was a bit past lunch time when we were done checking in our hotel. Not doubt, everybody's stomachs were grumbling. Thank God after checking in, we were going to have our lunch and do a bit of sightseeing.

...KOREA by Tahnee Robinson Introduction In Korea, growing, harvesting, preparing, and eating food is a social event for the Korean people. The people are a large population of people that live in close proximity to each other. This fact has resulted in Koreans that live in clustered village communities outside their major cities. This type of communal lifestyle, historically, made eating one of the most important times of day in a farm home or the royal court. Although the variety and quality food differed between farmer and the royal court, the importance of Korean cuisine and meal time remained the same. Korea descended from Mongolians, and was governed by imperial dynasties since before the Common Era. Korean cooking has a distinct national identity that, in its contemporary, form combines dishes and techniques from both peasant diets and royal palace foods. Korean food is very spicy. Korean cooks in the 16th century were delighted by the chili, introduced by the Portuguese. The information used to create this paper are sources located by internet searches and one book.

...Have you ever wondered to eat food without a fork or spoon? If you like Asian food, but want the full experience of eating as it is meant to be eaten, eat with chopsticks. Chopsticks are the main eating utensils in China, Korea, Taiwan, Japan, and Vietnam. When watching others using chopsticks, it could look simple, but when you try it, you will end up asking for a fork instead. Here’s how to rely on eating Asian food with chopsticks. First, purchase a pair of chopsticks. Place both chopsticks on a sturdy table, with the broad ends facing you. Pick up one chopstick with your right or left hand. Have the broad end of the chopstick lay between the part of your thumb and index finger connects. Then, provide extra support by slightly curling the middle finger and gently placing the tip of the middle finger on the chopstick. (See diagram 1) Raise you index finger. Next, use your other hand to pick up the second chopstick. Place the chopstick with your hand above the first chopstick, roughly one inch apart. Make sure the first chopstick’s broad end is parallel to the second chopstick’s broad end. Grip the second chopstick with your first hand’s index finger and thumb, leaving a space with your middle finder. You may use the other hand to adjust our grip on the chopsticks to a comfortable position. Use that same hand to make sure the narrow tips of both chopsticks are lined up evenly and are parallel to each other. (See diagram 2) After that...
