As a lover of Korean drama, this has made me wonder so many things about Korea, especially what their food tastes like. Any time I watch a Kdrama and I see them eating, I always wonder what the food tastes like.
The main food I have always wanted to try is the “Kimchi.”
The image is mine.
I always see it in many of the modern Kdramas, and I don’t know if it wasn’t a delicacy back in their old day. Probably it’s a modern-day kind of food. Kimchi is a fermented vegetable, usually napa cabbage, and it is mixed with chili pepper, garlic, and ginger. This just made me think of a vegetable soup we also eat in my hometown named “Efo Riro.”
Anyways, since I couldn’t get kimchi, I went to the Korean store in my city. We also have the Chinese store, but since I’m a fan of Korea, I wanted to try their noodles and soju. The noodles were the cup instant noodles and one thing I love about them was how we didn’t need to go through the process of putting a pot on the fire and doing the cooking ourselves. All we needed was hot water, boiled eggs, and the seasoning.
I made a video for it, which I will also upload in this article. At first, I had my doubts about the noodles because I hadn’t eaten them before, and my thought was they would not be good, but guess who went back to the store to get more noodles.
The soju was a bit harsh to my tongue; it wasn’t bad, but it wasn’t like the normal kind of alcohol we have in my country, but I liked it too.
I’m thinking of asking the store owner if there is a way she can teach me how to prepare a local dish or maybe invite me to join a dinner. I wouldn’t mind; I might finally get to eat kimchi.
If you watch the introduction to the video, where the entrance was, you would see on the signpost that every word starts with a “K”
So here is my entry for the #kcontest #44.
Thanks for reading and watching. My name is Fashtioluwa.
