Hello everyone,
especially Koreans or fans of the Korean kitchen. As a few of you might have seen I was out to enjoy a Korean dinner with my friend and it was really good. We had vegetable kimbab and bulgogi (pork). We enjoyed it so much (even though it was expensive) that we decided to go again with a few more people. Probably like 4, 5 at best.
I know that there are no courses (food) in Korea, but I will still refer Kimbab as appetizer and bulgogi as a main course in this blog.
So, as I mentioned we want to go out with 4/5 people and have a typical korean meal, with appetizers , main course , side dishes and a dessert.
We want to spent about 100 Euro and it should look like:
Just a well filled table with lots of stuff we can enjoy. Everyone can try something etc..
So, there's basically anything in that Korean restaurant. Its tradionally Korean, so please help me setting up a good dinner for my friends and me.
If you post stuff, please post it as following:

Appetizer:

Side Dish:

Main Dish:

Dessert:

Also I'd like you to post pics and maybe a small describtion of what it actually is. (Not everyone knows what a Yuk Gae Jang soup is).
What I'd imagine (must be included).
Pajeon (appetizer)
Kimbab (appetizer)
Yuk Gae Jang (Main Course)
Bulgogi (pork, beef or chicken, what should I get?)
Bibimbap (Main Course)
Maybe Bossam?? (.. Main Course ?? Side Dish ??)
Maybe Galbi?? (Main Course) (I heard its pretty.. fat, so I dont know if I'd like it)
Traditional Kimchi (Side-Dish)
Yeah... well, please recommend more site dishs etc.. (there was one with leek I think which was great.)
Well... I appriciate any help, thanks  !

daaaaaaaaaaaaaam that looks sooo good
|
yuk gae jang and bot ssam don't seem like very foreigner friendly foods... have you tried them before?
get ddak dori tang (spicy chicken stew)
galbi/bulgogi is the foreigner version of overly sweet kbbq.
get the non-marinated meats like saen gyup sal (beef) and cha dohl beh gi (pork).
|
kimchi jjigae is awesome
it's a stew made from kimchi pork and tofu
they sometimes add onions/green onions

Why aren't Yuk Gae Jang and Bot Ssam (did I mention Bot Ssam? I don't think so, also I can't find it with google) foreigner friendly foods?
Ddak dori tang,
this?
Sam Gyup sal, this?
And I also can't find cha dohl beh gi... :S!
What is a KBBQ? I know BBQ, but what does the K stand for!?)

Sounds good, its a main course right? Tofu is not too nice-__-;
Also, maybe a Korean can translate those things into hangul, so I can write them down and just give the restaurant guy a list :-)!

Well, I just ASK for food. I mean obviously I'll also get that (and update this blog with pics..^^) but I don't think the food at your place is bad..?

I suppose it would be
yuk gae jang 육개장
kim chi JJi gae 김치찌개
dak do ri tang 닭도리탕
sam gyup sal 삼겹살
cha dol bae gi 차돌배기
something like that?

Chadol Baegi is a side-dish, right..? Also, do you also put it on the grill?
I think I'll add Samgyeopsal (삼겹살) to the list.. :-)!

Also, so galbi is best
marinated beef short ribs
소갈비 mmmmmmmmmm
I don't think of kimbap as an appetizer, when I have some, I have a bunch and it's pretty much the whole meal.

Please...all this food

Thanks, you are awesome. Cha Dol Bae Gi doesn't look too good to me. I guess you need to grill it :O!

I dunno, pajun is a good appetizer I suppose, but the side dishes are all provided for you and they come out way before the main meal. They also vary depending on the restaurant, but it's more or less the same, like kimchi and tofu and stuff. Better restaurants give you more variety ^^.
I think that these might be refillable too, I don't ask for more than they give but I think you are allowed to ask them to refill stuff, at least from what I've seen in New York and Korea.
Also, after I eat meat like galbi, I like to eat 물냉면 mool naeng myun which is a kind of watery noodle dish. It's pretty good, but it might be overkill.
Although they might serve desserts, it might not be that good. There might be places that specialize in dessert like 팥빙수 pat bing su, but this is more of a summer food http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patbingsu

Samgyeopsal / Chadol baegi .. are not main courses right? I'll already go with 1 friend (again^^) tomorrow.. so need a main course again ;-)!
|
If you order enough of it, I suppose they could be a main courses.

Dude you are so awesome, haah can't even describe...
So desserts are not common?
Also.. where we ate last time, they brought 8 side dishes for 2 persons (2 main dishes) in pretty small bowls.. so thats why I would like to order a seperate side dish.
What would you get for 2 persons? (I go with my friend tomorrow..^^)
Edit: AAAALSO VERY IMPORTANT!! We don't want to act like fools .. so.. are there any rules concerning behavior?
|
I love gal bi and get it whenever I can, so I would recommend that, followed by mool naeng myun, the noodle dish. It can get pretty expensive though. Yes, the side dishes are pretty small, but they're only to whet your appetite, not really to fill you up and I'm pretty sure you can ask them to refill the ones you like. If you want, you could order some man doo 만두 which are dumplingshttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mandu_(dumpling), There's mool man du 물만두 which is steamed goon man du 군만두 which is just fried
fried man doo 군만두
pajun that you mentioned is also good
I can't speak for others, but I don't normally eat dessert after dinner.
There aren't any set rules, just be polite and don't be too loud, just like any restaurant. They'll probably be aware that you aren't Korean, assuming that you don't have yellow skin, so it's not like they're going to expect Korean etiquette.
