Ginseng Chicken and Dwaejibulgogi on a Friday

Ginseng Chicken

Besides Kimchi and Pickles the main dishes in Korean food are also very tasty. During our week long holiday in Korea we managed to try a few of their traditional dishes. I had been craving for ginseng chicken since I have been introduced to it a couple years back. During our last trip to Korea last year we managed to have this dish several times during our holiday. However this dish seems to be rather exclusive over at Jeju island. I only found one store selling ginseng chicken at the food court we went to next to our hotel.

Spicy BBQ Pork

We opted for pork instead of beef at this restaurant which was part of our 1 day tour of Jeju island. It was really yummy and I had the chance to personally cook my own lunch

BBQ Pork

Another local dish BBQ pork which is non spicy. I didn’t really like this one as there was a thick layer of fat on some pieces as it was fatty meat. The roasted garlic tasted yummy though.

Which out of the three dishes would you have love to eat?

The signboard

We were indulging in the flora and fauna during our recent trip to Jeju island, South Korea. Seongsan IIchulbong Peak is one of the places which we visited. It is one of the two UNESCO World Heritage on Jeju island. Also know as Sunrise peak it was created nearly 10,000 years ago during a volcano eruption.

The signboard explaining how the peak came about.

This was the 3rd stop on our day tour of Jeju and we were not prepared for the hike that we were about to do up and down the peak.

walking up to the peak

It was a hard track up as the steps got very steep and we had to carry Tiger girl on the way up. It was simply exhausting but the view that we saw was rewarding enough.
