Food
A little taste of Korea
I love food. I mean, honestly I'm up to try anything; cuisines of all sorts intrigue me to no end and I'm always excited to get the opportunity to try something new. Luckily for me the chance arose recently when my friend decided she was taking us out to a Korean restaurant for her birthday. My knowledge of the Korean cuisine went as far a kimchi, a pickled cabbage spicy side dish that I'd heard plenty about but had yet to try. I was excited to finally see what the hype was all about and also to get the opportunity to delve into other Korean meals. Fast forward, and I was face to face with Gogi- a pretty little Korean restaurant. Our party of nine took our seats and we began to order what I can honesty say was some of the best food that had ever graced my taste buds. The first thing we ordered (to my excitement) was the famous kimchi, I'd revised how to use my chopsticks correctly- although I was a little bit shaky- and the taste test began. Kimchi. is. AMAZING. It's got the perfect amount of spice, it's refreshing and it's just plain delicious! After that Korea had my complete faith and I was ready to eat some more, we finished off our starters and moved on to a selection of mains. This, consisted of various barbecued meats, plenty of colourful salad and little rice pots and sauce dishes. I tried everything, and enjoyed everything; the food was so flavourful and fragrant yet remained light and healthy. I personally accompanied my meal with some hot green tea, however my friend chose an iced plum tea which she wouldn't stop banging on about. We all decided then to order our own round of this 'amazing' drink and once again I was not disappointed. We sat around our table wondering how any beverage could taste so good, vowing to return purely for the plum tea (we weren't joking either). Finally the bill was paid and we decided that our outing should not end there, we made a little trek to the park and relaxed, playing a hilarious game of charades as well.
As the late afternoon approached we decided it was time to go home, still slightly full from our 'banquet' but satisfied all the same.
