Bibimbap, literally mixed rice, is an iconic Korean dish with white rice topped with various ingredients (vege, egg, meat etc.) and chili paste. Dolsot bibimbap is the version where the bibimbap is served in a hot stone bowl.
Had this last week at a famous restaurant in Myeong-dong. The meal cost 9000 won (~US$8); nice bibimbap and great side dishes…
Some traditional Korean food which I had since arriving in Seoul…
Tteokbokki and Odeng @ Namdaemun Market

Lobster stir-fried with chilli paste; probably not a wise option, as the strong seasoning was too dominant that it’s hard to taste the original lobster flavour. Nice texture though; freshness at its best…
Korean singer Uee from pop group After School is picked as the new model for Cheum Churum Cool, a Korean rice wine…
The dance is awkward… wearing hot pants and flashing her pretty legs doesn’t make the whole thing sexy if that’s what they were intending at the first place. So, how am I supposed to NOT think casual about this?
