Kimchi and Pickles on a Friday

Kimchi and pickles

During the past week we were on holiday in Jeju island , Korea. It was our first time over at that island and our 2nd trip just with Tiger girl.  It was great to be able to indulge in Korean food like Ginseng Chicken and Bulgogi.

The unique thing about Korean cuisine is that there are many side dishes served at every meal. Kimchi and an assortment of pickles are what we were served before our main meal came.

Kimchi

Every single restaurant that we went too served kimchi. It is a staple side dish for Korean and how spicy it is varies from restaurant to restaurant.  I personally don’t really like my food too spicy and had to pass on the kimchi served at a few restaurants we visited as it was too spicy for my liking.

Side dishes

Some time we were given sea salt to dip chicken in before it was to be eaten.  On occasions there were bean sprouts, tofu and even a mini fishcake/pancake which were served as side dishes.

The side dishes

It was quite easy to settle Tiger girl’s meals as she would happily eat the non spicy side dishes with rice. Do you like  eating the side dishes when you go out for Korean food?

What is your favourite Korean dish?

Egg and Egg Tarts on a Friday

Half boil egg

There are many different ways how egg can be cooked. When we go out for breakfast I  love having half boiled eggs together with Kaya toast.  It’s really tasty when eaten with dark soya sauce.

Egg tarts from a bakery at Joo Chiat

A few weeks ago we had egg tarts from a bakery for breakfast. It didn’t taste as nice as those egg tarts that we normally order when we go out for Dim Sum. We decided to create our own version of the egg tart as the boys are on holidays now.

The egg tarts were snapped up and eaten before I could take a proper photo of all the pieces that we made. I had to stop the kids from taking the last egg tart on the plate for the shot above.

How do you like eating eggs?
