Note: i dont want to be disrespectful with any culture or country, im telling my experience eating my 1st korean food

Ive been always curious about asian food, well to be honest, japanese food until i knew TL and the korean world opened to me in some way. Through photos i learned about how the pros and teams gather toghether to eat and celebrate and i was really cool. Most of the time they were drinking and eating in restaurants and the food looked awesome, very differente from my country so i was "shit that looks great" but i never had a chance to try that stuff cause i didnt knew a korean restarurant where i lived, until recently one opened some blocks from my home i thought it was the time to try all this new things i only knew by photos.

So today i went there.. it was a nice place to eat but i knew nothing the actual food, sure i read some blogs here about kimchi and ramen (mostly) but not other options so i asked the waiter to recommend me what he though was the best for a noob, sorry i dont remember the names .

Ok, i ordered 2 dishes and while i wait he brought me some appetizer

some yellow radish ... it was ok
sunflower seeds.. good
noodles.. realy good
spicy radish ... that was the 1st jab, but i could recover.

1st dish "chopping right": he brought me an orange stew with rice noodles, it was spicy with some carrots and onions an 1 boiled egg.

it looked like this, yea, this was!
[image loading]

oh man ... i just couldn eat more than 5 noodles ... it was so different and it was happening so fast.. damn, the noodles were like gum and the orange sauce didnt help.

2nd dish "the smash": the second was some green noodles witha brown sauce with some meet, it was "okish" but too cold for my taste... but after some time i couldnt continue, i wasnt enjoying the food.

[image loading]


Conclussion of the 1st round: i needed some info before try some new food, ill return next week and try some of what i now know its good thx to all the other blogs about korean food, some Buldogi of course, tempura and dam i dont know.. ill read more and ill tell about my 2nd round.

im down but not defeated

p.s. recommendation are welcome

How unfortunate that you didn't find this delicious.

Its one of my top 10 dishes of all time

And I really hate the second food too, I'm quite sure that fits in the Chinese cuisine. Just that Koreans usually serve that too.
Stick it up. take it up. step aside and see the world

Try out a Tofu House, or Korean BBQ. Typical day by day Korean food is pretty underwhelming though.

Japanese; ramen/udon, sushi, shashimi, and what not.

chinese/taiwanese; huge variance of cuisine based on what region/area they base their food on. As for taiwanese mostly streetfood is the best. dimsum is pretty popular intro to chinese food, and once you gather more testicles you can try some of the more daring stuff.

Vietnamnese food: pho is freaking amazing (get beef pho, chicken/shrimp/pork is meh tier), Banh mi is just an amazing sub/sandwich. Spring rolls are really good as well.

^these are the recommendations i would have for starters into the asian food world.
