황소 Raw Crab

Seasoned Raw Crab and 
Crab Marinated in Soy Sauce


Hello!!!
These days... I'm so busy TT becuz I have many things to do such as exams and homework TT Next week, I have 5 exams... in addition... this week I have to submit a report after reading a book about broadcasting to introduction. There are so many things I should do but there is no time... it is the pits!!!!!!!!!!!!!! To relieve stress, as soon as my exams finish and summer vacation starts, I will go on a trip!!
I am planning to go to Yeosu Expo!! because this expo is international, very popular, and the most important thing is that the Expo is the first and the last!!
And there are many active programs, performances, and hot events to enjoy!!
Actually, I bought a ticket, Naeilro, and went to Yeosu because my boyfriend's friend is Yeosu person, he invited us and other friends during last winter vacation.
Naeilro is a train ticket for young person under 25years. If you buy ticket, you can ride Mugunghwa and Saemaeul trains at will without additional fees for a week. You can ride trains that you want to ride freely if you only pay a fee for Naeilro, 56,500won!! But there may be no seats because it is an unreserved seat. If you want to ride KTX, you have to pay a half of KTX prices!! 




In the train for Yeosu, it took about 5 hours from Yeongdeungpo
station to Yeosu Expo station



It is good opportunity, so if you are a korean student, surely you have to buy the ticket and travel all around the country for a week. I recommend you that as an experienced hand of Naeilro!!







At the Yeosu Expo Station

Yeosu is famous as seafood becuz it is located next to the coast. So when I went to Yeosu last winter vacation, I ate a lot of seafood such as ear shell, gae-bull, sea cucumber, halibut, snapper, a perch and so on.

The seafood that I'd ever eaten in Yeosu

Among food that I'd ever eaten in Yeosu, the most delicious food is Seasoned Raw Crab and Crab Marinated in Soy Sauce like title!! So if you are planning to go to Yeosu Expo, I want to for you to visit this restaurant surely!!!! 


This restaurant appeared on a Korean TV program,
1박2일(one night, two days). 
Bongsan raw crab street! Here, there are
many bistros to sell raw crabs

I heard that 300 people were waiting to try raw crabs in front of this restaurant on Children's Day!


We had to wait for a while TT Waiting, we were taken a picture kkkkk but I was seeing a mirror kkk 



After waiting, we came into the restaurant! There were many people, so we had to sit in only one table, it was a little too small and cramped TT Anyway, we ordered six portions of seasoned raw crabs and crab marinated in soy sauce. Price per person is 8,000won for adult, 6,000won for children. It is possible to pack to bring at home!! This restaurant is specialized in only raw crabs. So only thing to do is to place an order in capita. Then, both seasoned raw crabs and crab marinated in soy sauce are served.  Food was served very quickly!!

 crab marinated in soy sauce
It is a salty beca
use of soy sauce, but it's okay if you eat  rice with it together
Personally, I felt crab marinated in soy sauce more tasty than seasoned one!!  

seasoned raw crab
It is spicy a little. But if you eat raw crabs with rice, rice makes less hot!!
Tip!!! two kinds of raw crabs are served with an unlimited refill!!
We had a refill three times!! Because they are so delicious, you
can't help having a refill !! Doing that is natural!! BUT!!! rice is not
refilled. So if you add rice, you should pay for it, 1,000won.


At that time, for the first time I ate raw crabs. I have thought that they are not cooked, so they have a fishy smell. Also, I thought that they are unwholesome food, so if i eat them, I am likely to suffer from indigestion.

Korean people call raw crabs '밥도둑'.
It means that certain food is so delicious that you eat rice so much. I didn't know why people call them. BUT!! I realized that meaning finally!!!!! Raw crabs tempted lazy winter appetite. Even though I was full, I ate two bowls of rice. If you don't try it when you go to Yeosu, surely you must be regretful!!!! I certainly can guarantee the taste!!










In addition to seasoned raw crabs and
crab marinated in soy sauce, Maeuntang is 
so delicious!!! it's very gooodd~~
 I mixed boiled rice with its soup. 
   


 We went to Odongdo in Yeosu!! 
Whatever you order several servings, it is served
like this

Jar Jjamppong

Fusion Chinese Food




Hello! How are you today???
Suddenly, I comes up with Jjamppong because I am very hungry... but I can not eat...
It is because I live in a dormitory. The entrance is closed from 12am to 5am and during the time I can't go out. What is worse, convenient store at the dormitory was closed. 
So I try to eat Jjamppong, seeing its photos with eyes kkkkkkkkkkkkkk 
The best Jjamppong  I'd ever eaten is spicy Jjamppong sold by 쭝식 in Guwol-dong.
쭝식 is famous for various kinds of Jjamppong such as very hot Jjamppong and jar Jjamppong and fusion chinese bistro.
If you are in Guwol-dong, I recommend you to try it!!

When I went to there, there were no seats TT so I had to wait! 
I took pictures, waiting. Inside, it was filled with many people
also there were many people to wait outside.
It proved that this restaurant is a good food restaurant!!

Tip! This restaurant is open for 24 hours!! Enjoy eating whenever
you are hungry or have free time!!

As a restaurant specialized in fusion chinese food, there are many kinds of chinese food. Especially, Jjamppong has the most types, which is 7 kinds!!
Among these menu, I ordered Jar Jjamppong, which is served with being put in a big container like jar. So its name is Jar Jjamppong!! It seems to include a large amount of Jjamppong at the mention of its name. Also, I placed an order for 깐쇼새우! It is similar to kung pao chicken, but difference between two is that  kung pao chicken is made                     
                                                                            with chicken and 깐쇼새우 is       
                                                                            made with shrimp. 


Those menus in the picture are the most popular food in this restaurant!!
We can recognize becuz 'strong recommendation' is written kkkkk
Next time, I will try 해물쟁반Jajangmyeon becuz it seems very delicious!!







Before food was served kkkkk


First 깐쇼새우 was offered!!
Hmmm.... the amount seems too small TT
but the taste is good, it's okay!
In my case, I have not eaten 
kung pao chicken so I don't know
if 깐쇼새우 is delicious or not in comparison with other
kung pao chicken.
But it has spicy-sweet and sour flavor!It was the new taste I'd ever eaten and I liked that batter is not too thick!
Also, batter is very crispy and becuz batter is thin, I could taste
natural flavor of shrimp!! Ah!! size of shrimp was very big!!
It was soooooooooo good for me!!!!!
I can liken the taste of 깐쇼새우 to Chinese sweet-sour and spicy pork
made with shrimp!

Next, Jar Jjamppong was served!!
Wow!!!!!!!! it is a large amount of Jjamppong!!
Various seafood and fresh vegetables!!!
I understood why this restaurant named this Jjamppong Jar Jjamppong!
The quantity proves that!!
Usually, most Jjamppong has more noddles than ingredients such as
seafood and vegetables but Jar Jjamppong has more seafood and
vegetables than noddles!! very good!
As soup's color is red, it tastes very hot and spicy!!TT
BUT!!! the taste is attractive and fantastic
 It's so hard to stay off Jar Jjamppong kkkk
I ate dropping tears and running at the nose kkkkk
In the end.... we could be too much to eat all!!!
Also, because we already ate 깐쇼새우!!
Seafood : webfoot octopus, shrimp, mussel, clam, long-legged octopus and so on
Vegetables : chili, onion, green onion, pumpkin, cabbage and so on

Noddles are very resilient!!








Various fresh seafood such as webfoot octopus, shrimp, mussel,
clam, long-legged octopus and so on


Tip!! BIG EVENT!!
핵폭탄짬뽕에 도전하라! (Challenge very very very hot hot hot spicy spicy spicy Jjamppong!!!!)
Challenge this mission!! If you success(you have to eat even all soup, noddles, ingredients without exception)
, you can 10,000 won free coupon.BUT!!!! Don't kill yourself with it.
It is written that don't order 핵폭탄 짬뽕 due to curiosity or self-esteem, we don't take responsibility for faint!!!!!!
Even though I ate less spicy Jar Jjamppong, I felt spicy and hot!!
Think carefully!!

Back Ribs

Combination Back Ribs and Soju ?? kkkkkk

Do you like meat?? There will not be people who don't like it. What kinds of do you like??
I like more pork than beef~~ Why?? Beef is more expensive that pork.... TT so I often eat pork..
Another reason that I eat it frequently is that because most meat restaurants sell pork chops and pork belly. So it is easy to be sick and tired of them. I am suggesting... how about trying to other kinds?? Right!!
It is Back Ribs!! When I went to Busan, I heard that there is a famous restaurant for back ribs in Seomyeon.
Here!! only you can try back ribs!! you can not eat other kinds of meat! because this restarant is specialized in back ribs~~ so I can gaurantee the tasty!! Believe me!
I will explain how tasty back ribs are with following description and photos about them.

 

                                                                              
 
The restaurant's name is '등짝' It seems very funny and humorous. This is because   등짝 in Korean dialect means the back of humans body.So I think that the title involves which food to sell especially intensively!! So the owner named its name very well and the name, 등짝, goes with this store, I think!! And it is the Korean dialect, it feels more friendly and intimate.




The open time is 5:00 pm and the close time is 4:00 am. Remember that surely!!! At first, I didn't know that  and visited in lunch.... TT so I had to come back TT. It was so sorry for that TT Next time when I went to there at 9:00 pm!! so I could eat them!!  

Interior seems to be old and shabby !! It is likely to be folksy, I think!! Rather, I more like this atmosphere because I don't need to stick to formality and can enjoy eating comfortably. So I can tear at the back ribs  with my bare hands in easy circumstance without other people's  eyes!! so gooooooodd~~
Tip!! You can't order two portions of the back ribs at first. You can only order from three portions of the back ribs to unlimited portions!! BUT!! when you order additional ribs, you can order one portion or two portions. Even though you go to there with a friend or boy/girl friend, the amount of three portions is not that much, so you can eat all.

A number of side dishies are served while ribs are being prepared. These dishies is refilled unlimitedly!
Enjoy them to the fullest^^ In my case, corn cheese and green-onion pancake were very delicious!



So we received refills three times!! kkkkk BUT!!! Don't eat them too much!! If you do so.... hmm...
you can try the main food, back ribs!! You just should make sure that your belly has room for it.


Corn cheese
Soft, and mild!! but.. oily a little!
stretching cheese~~ good! 




Geotjeori
Eat with back ribs!! the taste
gets more
rich!


Seasoned raw crab
It's so spicy!! but it's tasty if you eat with rice!

Green-onion pencake
 crisp and golden brown




Sea mustard soup
Hmm... smell of sea kkkk
Kimchi stew
Umm... salty.. TT a little but it was ok



Salad
so fresh!
























FINALLY!!!!!!!!! THE BACK RIBS!!!!!!!!!!
Server put them on a hot grill. Back ribs 
are roasted once before being offered to us. 
So you can grill ribs over charcoal a little!!






















































Tip!! Don't USE chopsticks or fork to eat back ribs! You have to gnaw the meat off a bone with your hands to get the real flavor, putting on cotton and plastic gloves offered by this restaurant.



First. Put on two kinds of gloves





Second. Grip back ribs








There are two types of sauce(spicy and sweet) to dip a piece of back ribs into sauce, making the taste more delicious and richer. It will be fantastic!!








Third. Dip ribs into sauce, depending on your preference and eat them!


In my opinion, I more liked spicy sauce!
But, your taste may be different from mine!








Don't touch the hot grill too close!! 
Because the grill is very hot, your plastic gloves can be melted and your hands may be burn and hurt!! I roasted back ribs with hands, but plastic was melted because of the hot grill!! Watch out!!







Fantastic marital compatibility

If you like alcohol, while eating ribs, if you are not thirsty for soju, it is strange so much kkkkk When I ate back ribs, I cannot help but drink soju because unless I did't drink it, maybe I might be regretful so much kkkkk Also the taste of ribs made me want to drink it!! 좋은데이 soju is Busan's soju and Busan people drink only 좋은데이 as if Seoul or Incheon people drink 참이슬soju , so the soju is not sold in Seoul or Incheon. So only when we go to Busan, we can buy and drink it. My hometown is Changwon next to Busan, so I have drunken this alcohol frequently because Changwon is close to Busan. 
But my boyfriend lives in Incheon, so I want that he tries to drink the soju!! 좋은데이soju has a low percentage of alcohol(16 degree) in comparison with 참이슬 soju (20.9 degree). So we are not drunken easily! but... if you drink too much... being drunken is the same because also 좋은데이soju is alcohol!! Therefore Don't drink it despite a low percentage of alcohol!!
