I like tasting all kinds of delicious food.

I like tasting all kinds of delicious food.I'd like to have a try


Few days ago, my friend treat me dinner in a South Korea restaurant. I find the food is


very very yummy. So I'd like to say something about South Korean food.


KIMCH'I


Because Korea has four distinct seasons, fresh vegetables are not always readily available,


especially during the winter months. It is this reason that led to the development of kimch'i,


which is without a doubt, the most famous of Korean cuisine. Kimch'i is a condiment that


is served with every meal. Information, literature, materials, and equipment related to


kimch'i from ancient times to the present is preserved and exhibited at the Myongga


Kimch'i Museum.


Kimch'i is a traditional fermented vegetable dish which is the most basic side dish at


every Korean meal. The fermentation of the different vegetables used, complemented by


salted fish and other seasonings, gives it a unique flavour. Kimch'i can be preserved for


a long time and was originally put in a clay pot and buried in the fall to allow it to ferment


for use throughout the winter months. Its hot and spicey taste is said to stimulate the


appetite. It is a nutritious dish, providing vitamins, lactic acid and minerals, otherwise


lacking in the winter diet.
