Go to a sit down restaurant and order a traditional Korean meal...you'll get Soo many varieties of vegetables as banchan (included side dishes) that you can have re-filled for free, to eat along with rice and soups. Most Koreans don't eat all the fried foods that you guys are eating on a regular basis, it's something that we splurge on throughout the week ...Most everyone eats rice with kimchi and other vegetables with some eggs or other small amounts of protein as a staple daily diet
Ahhh rightb That’s a good way to eat, great to know. I think I’m out of touch, used to people eating Streetfood everyday like in South East Asian nations.
It's not See ole. It's best to say Soul. Unless you speak Korean no one expects you to pronounce it 100% accurately. You are right about the old school restaurants. I've heard a few Korea based youtubers say if the clientele at a restaurant is an older crowd you know it is a legit restaurant. This is so true.
You asked how they are so thin. It's because they eat a lot of animal protein. With animal protein comes fat and fat keeps you full longer so you don't eat as much or need to snack as much. Carbs/sugar make you hungry much quicker thus making you eat more.
When pronouncing Seoul(서울), just leave out the 'e' sound. 'ㅓ' corresponds to 'au' in 'Australia', but since there is no letter to pronounce 'ㅓ' in the English alphabet, in Korea, it was agreed that 'ㅓ' should be written as 'eo' when written in English.
Korea isn’t that cheap for food! The taxis, metro everything else is amazing value. But food is on the pricier side - unless it’s a lunchtime bibimbap place (which is amazing value!) - to eat proper local, you’ve got to be better in Korean - unfortunately our Korean isn’t good, so it’s more touristy spots for us
I remember the first time I saw a Korean anti-govt protest, everyone was in a systematic form with one guy doing all the talking/yelling. It is super organized and well thought out. The police officers also stand in a systematic form with light barricades. Initially, I thought it was a movie filming, but it was a live protest. It was very strange, but at the same time, it felt safe because you knew exactly which area not to cross.
That's right ... Red pepper powder is a food preparation ingredient introduced to Korea in the late Joseon Dynasty ... That's right ...

I know that in those days, rather than using red pepper powder to make spicy food, they used a unique fermentation method to make ...
