esther, eunice, katie and i celebrated katie's birthday on sunday. we tried to go to seoul, but the traffic was horrendous. instead we went to a one of esther's favorite restaurants near town.
i keep thinking i've had all the korean food there is to have. but, i am continuously surprised by new, stranger, more delicious things. sunday was yet another one of those discoveries.
it looked exactly like spaghetti. exactly. but, the "noodles" were actually the very typical bean sprouts that are in most dishes here. the "sauce" was a very spicy red sauce that even i found hard to bare (and i can out-spice most koreans, i swear). mix in every kind of seafood i have ever seen and many things i have never seen. and, of course, the octopus.
yes, that is an entire octopus that eunice is holding up to her face.
fun times.
by the way, i think there are more restaurants in relatively small korea then in all of america. i'm not exaggerating.
and, while in korea i've developed some "different" eating habits. don't say i didn't warn you.
koreans tend to share plates, eat straight off the platters, etc. in korea, do as the koreans. so, if we're eating together in the future, keep that in mind or, guard your food.
