First we have Chansu guksu which is a vermicelli noodle soup served in a melchi broth (I think it's melchi, melchi is anchovy). I got it in Jeongja, Bundang.
Next we have pork cutlets stuffed with cherries and Camembert cheese. It was one of my failed culinary creations. It's something I'm going to have to work on. I need to puree the cherries next time and add some sugar and lemon to make them tangy. I also need to use brie instead.
Lunch at Ho Lee Chow. It's American style Chinese food. Greasy and overpriced. We ate a ton of food and were hungry 2 hours later. I don't know what it is about American Chinese food that does that.
Mangosteen Xylitol. They make gum out of Mangosteen and the taste is not half bad. I wouldn't go so far to say it tastes exactly like Mangosteen but it's different and refreshing.
And finally, grilled meat at 6,7,8 in Jeongja. The food was damn good. The meat was pretty high grade pork. Yummy.
You may commence drooling.

That third picture of the pork looks awesome. I was drooling when I saw it. The grilled garlic really looks good too!
ReplyDeleteIt looks like a good attempt on your Camembert/cherry pork. Have you thought of maybe making a cherry/liquor reduction sauce instead of putting the cherries inside of the meat?
that sounds like a good idea. you sound like a bit of a chef Richard. I was thinking merlot and cherries. What do you think?
ReplyDeleteI dabble in cooking a little bit, but its more because I like good food.
ReplyDeleteIm not certain about which type of wine to use. Definitely red, however Im not sure if you want to use a strong flavored wine like a merlot or a more mild flavored wine. The cherries are going to bring a strong flavor themselves, so Im not sure what would compliment that the best. I think this will have to be a trial and error attempt..lol. Im still in Africa, but when I go home, I think I will have to try this out.
The pork looked awsome!! I just so happen to live in Jeongja so I was wondering if you could post directions to 6,7,8 so I could induldge in the tasty pork myself!!

I don't have the exact address for 5,6,7,8 but it is near Daily King's Brown Sugar. It's across and down the street on the right. Here's the building that Daily King's Brown Sugar is located.
