Food #2: Favourite Korean Cuisines

Hi guys... I'm going to list my 5 favourite Korean cuisines so far. This is all 2016 restaurant data  btw :D Without further ado, here it is.


#5 Bibimbap with Spicy Squid in a Hot Stone Pot

A bibimbap (mix of stuff) is something you should probably try first if you have never tried a Korean dish. There's like a bit of every Korean food in here (kimchi, seaweed, mushrooms, bean sprouts, rice, sunny side up egg, some sort of vegetable, and a choice of meat). If you find that you don't like it then it'll probably be hard to like any other Korean dish. Prices range from $7 to $10.

#4 Noodles in a Black Bean Sauce (Jajangmyeon) 

These are noodles topped with a black bean sauce. They are typically around $7 to $9 for a bowl.


#3 Side Dishes (Banchan)

Side dishes are served with a dish you order in a restaurant (free, well not really)... You will love the kimchi, sweet potatoes (not in the picture), and bean sprouts! 

#2 Kimchi Fried Rice with Beef in a Hot Stone Pot (Kimchi Bokkeumbap) 

This is an easy-to-love dish because everyone loves fried rice, right? This dish is combined with kimchi, beef, and white/brown/purple rice topped with a sunny side up egg. The cost for this dish is around $7 to $10.

#1 Spicy Rice Cakes (Ddeokbokki)

Basically this a street food. The rice cakes are covered in a spicy Korean sauce with fish cakes and vegetables. Some restaurants include an egg and others don't :/ THIS IS MY ALL-TIME FAVOURITE KOREAN FOOD! IT IS THE BEST! YOU MUST TRY THIS OUT!!! The cost of this dish is around $5 to $9 (on a plate).

Most of these dishes are spicy so like... if you want spicy, try these dishes.
