Wanderlust Diary

My friend Youri who graciously toured us for a day in Seoul introduced us on a special treat while working our way around Myeong Dong. This shopping district is really packed with people, not just ordinary folks I think, youthful people who come here with their dates, shopping and eating all in one.

This vibrant district has made me happy, mainly because there was ample supply of everything I need. Food, drinks, clothes, beauty products and some people watching on the side..great!

Youri patiently guided us to this new type of food which I was curious about. I stepped into this restaurant and in an instant, I felt this tingling smell that made me sneeze..oh yes…that a whole lot of chili pepper in the air.

As I further researched about this restaurant on the net, Yoogane is more famous for their dak galbi.

Wikipedia says that “Dak galbi, also romanized dalk galbi, is a popular South Korean dish generally made by stir-frying marinated diced chicken in a gochujang (chili pepper paste) based sauce, and sliced cabbage, sweet potato, scallions, onions and tteok (rice cake) together on a hot plate”

This hot, spicy and favorful meal can work out an appetite. Youri did all the ordering, and we were served with a hot plate ready for take off!

The server was mixing it all up and we were all staring hungrily. It strangely became addicting at first bite even though I thought I couldn’t bare the spiciness. I wish someone could bring this to the Philippines! I love to try more of their specialty. Right now I am wishing I was back in Seoul.
