[SHARING] 3 will-and-must try korean dishes – TOUCH KOREA TOUR

116 Comments

annyeong~ ^^

at first, this article was made for TOUCH KOREA TOUR contest that held by Korea Tourism Organization (Indonesia) and buzz Korea ^^

but despite of contest, this post can also take as a sharing and exchange mind with you readers hehe

cause i wanna hear other’s opinion too about Korea culture, culinary, and places that should be visited when i go to South Korea:D it’s Hallyu wave~

my first post is about 3 dishes that i would like to try in Korea!
I have not go to Korea yet, so this like my wish list LOL
Actually, there are a lot of korean original taste that I want to try
But I will only post the top 3 😉

떡볶이 (TTEOKBOKKI)


everyone who love Korea, must be know about this food. it is a street snack that made of rice cake and have spicy taste.

i guess, it is a must-try-snack when you go to Korea because it’s like their traditional food.

every time i watch Korea drama or variety show, tteokbokki always there LOL

i love spicy! besides of the taste, teokbokki is 2PM Junsu’s favorite dishes kkk~

from what I know, you can find teokbokki easily. And some people, sell it with noodles, cheese, fish cake.
I read that there’s a lot of variation nowadays. But I only want to try the original one!

I have tried teokbokki at some Korean Restaurant in Jakarta. They are so difference; taste, looks and the mix of vegetables too.

actually, i have tried to make one with original seasoning that i bought from Korean market here.

the taste is not bad, maybe closely to the one that i’ve try on Korean restaurant :p

here is my Ahome made tteokbokki^^ i mixed it with noodles too kkk~

korea tourism organization, hallyu wave, tteokbokki, wisata korea selatan

will share the recipe later 🙂


자장면 (JAJANGMYEON)

black soybean paste noodle! it is also a famous Korean dishes~

watch every K-drama, and you will see this yummy noodle 😀

do I have to tell you, why I want to try this food so much?
they said that jajangmyeon is the famous delivery dishes in Korea. and i really curious with the original taste

i only tried the instant one, although the taste isn’t bad but it must be different from the original.
the instant one that I eat wasn’t spicy, the noodles are big and I guess I wrong mixed the ingredients because they don’t look right XD

i never order this when i go to Korean restaurant. Don’t know if there’s any too.

삼계탕 (SAMGYETANG)

a whole young chicken is stuffed with glutinous rice and boiled in a broth of Korean ginseng, dried seeded jujube fruits,garlic, and ginger. Depending on the recipe, other medicinal herbs such as wolfberry (gugija), Codonopsis pilosula (dangsam), and Angelica sinensis (danggwi) may also be added.” – wikipedia

sounds healthy? since Korea is famous with their ginseng, i guess i must try the original one.

healthy food from country that famous with their medical herbs, cooking with secret recipes, eating at the specific days on summer~ *i google it first kkk~

even i don’t really like ginseng, but if i go to Korea, i will try it for sure.

and once again, it’s a recommended food from 2PM’s Nickhun kkk~

posting food at night isn’t a right thing, i do feel hungry right now, and i’m on my diet T.T

but when the times come to visit Korea, diet is on pause program LOL

well, those are 3 foods or dishes that i WILL TRY when i go to Korea^^

do you have other recommended food/dishes? feel free to comment, gomawo^^~

and please visit my other post about top-3-want-to-do in korea, thankyouu^^

    To tell you the truth, I don’t have the best experiences with korean food xD the ones that I tried at a korean restaurant here in my country (Peru) were awfully spicy and I ended up crying so bad with a red face and everything xD

    Buuuut~ that didn’t mean the end of it xD I’m still gonna give it another shot 😀 so~ here comes your post and it’s actually pretty useful 😀 mmm guess I’m gonna try the Jjangmyeon one, I’ve been always really curious about its taste :9

    Oh! Sorry for the long reply xD and thanks for sharing sweetie 😀

    • Hi Peru, greetings from Indonesia 😀

      Yes, Korea are so famous with their spicy taste, and I love spicy~ X)
      Jjangmyeon looks so yummy, right?
      I also curious with its taste.

      Ahh no problem, it’s good to have a long conversation with you dear 😀
      Glad if this post is useful for you, and hope you’ll have a good experience with korean food X)

      Thanks for your visit^^

  35. TTEOKBOKKI is the desh I want to tast :3

  36. I want to try eat 떡볶이 (TTEOKBOKKI)…It looks so yummy…hehe…but, I can’t eat spicy >.<
    good luck for your contest! I wish you win 😀

  37. I used to try TTEOKBOKKI but guess the original one in Korea must taste better than other country =p

  38. OH i never go Korea…..But I read articles you write about food’s korea. I feel i stay in korea. Ah………i like Nichkhun so i like 삼계탕 (SAMGYETANG). Thank for share this articles…..Ah i see pic i hungry now….ha ha ha

  39. yummy 🙂

  40. Yeaaah~ agree w/ ur opinion… 😉 I want to try all of the dishes in Korea…. It looks so tasty, isn’t it? Kkk~ aaaahh really want it!

  41. oh you have to call the noodle to jajangmyeon, not jjangmyeon!
    And i gotta recommend a korean delivery which koreans used to have in night.
    The one is fried chicken with seasoned spicy sauce. It is called as yangnyeom chicken or dakkangjeong. The sauce could be made in korea i guess. When you come to korea, you could try it visiting any beer bar.

    The second one

    • Is jokbal, boiled folk feet cooked with soy sauce and some other spicies like ginger garlic makgeoli kk. It is womens preferred night delivery food because it has a lot of collagen which make skin flexible!!

      • really???
        wow, then i must try that food!! XD
        even i don’t like ginger that much, but i think i can’t put it aside kkk~

        you seems like having a lot of experience with korean food?
        you should recommended me another food, cause i want to try it all 😀

    • ahh, thanks for your correction, dear 😀

      wow that’s look so delicious~
      i heard that korea have the best chicken taste
      *because wooyoung love chicken so much LOL
      and in Indonesia, there are some restaurants from Korea, like omo chicken and bonchon.
      the sauce is great, and spicy too

      anw, thanks for your recommendation^^

  42. I’ve never had to try all of that food! 😦 But i’m very curious for jajangmyeon, really want to tasting it 🙂
    thanks for sharing

    • find the nearest korean restaurant or korean market from your place, and order one of those foods! 😀

      glad i can share these foods with you^^
      thanks for comment too^^~

  43. ak prnh mkn 자장면 (JJANGMYEON)!! ak pnsrn ama yg nma ny Osam Bulgogi juga Japchae,,, itu makanan isi ny apa, chingu?

    –rochelle (rochelle5855 on twitter)

  50. oooh!! you should definetly try Korean Pancakes ❤ and of course the noodles in Korea!! ❤ The Black bean noodles are delicious ^~^

  51. Annyeong~ greetings from Choi Tae-hee, hehe! ^0^
    visiting your blog and reading it all over again is NOT a waste of time ~ REALLY!
    this is really great!!! you should share it more to a lot of people specially who loves everything in Korea, *giggles*
    You haven’t been in Korea right? but seeing how you really want to taste those foods makes me want it to send it to you right away~keke! but, don’t worry ^^ remember if your dream is a live someday it will come true, so to wrap this all up, Good Luck~ and I wish you will visit Korea very soon *wink* let’s meet then, if that happens. hehe! Bye bye~ *by0ng*

    • 안녕^^
      How should I call you? Tae Hee? Or unnie? 😀

      Thankyouuu for your compliment, I’m so appreciated it.
      There are already lots of people who loves Korea here^^
      Awww, you make me feel hungry now, I want to eat tteokpokki so bad.
      Sure, I will contact you right away when I get there, hope it will be soon 😀
      In the meantime, how do we keep in contact?^^
      Which city do you live, anyway?
      Ahh I’m so excited to have ɑ korean friend~

      • woah~ how old are you then?? i’m 16 years old, ahm 15 in western age :”> you can call me unnie if i’m older ..keke!
        you’re always welcome by the way .. i love those who appreciate the beauty of Korea ^^ just like you (^_^)
        aigoo~ you love tteokpokki that bad?? keke! for me Bossam is the best ! kyaa!
        Twitter will do dear^^ .. hehe that’s great! we’ll eat together then ^^
        i’m currently in Busan, but I have to deal with seoul for my activities ^^
        if you really want to have korean friends you must try to learn how to speak in korean so it’ll be easy ^.~

      • LOL I’m the unnie then. I’m 88 liner ㅋㅋㅋ
        I thought you are older than me cause the way you talk are so mature, and not lots of korean people can talk english as fluent as you, especially when they are still young.
        You look so smart^^

        Wow, I heard Busan is a beautiful city.
        I want to visit other city too, not only Seoul 😀

        I’m learning it by myself right now^^
        I can read hangeul little but my vocabulary and grammar are still bad.
        Maybe when we met later, I already improved it 😀

  52. I’ve ever tried only TTEOKBOKKI and JAJANGMYEON in my country, Thailand, but never for SAMGYETANG. I love Jajangmyeon very much because I don’t like spicy. I know Jajangmyeon because of 2PM. After their interview, when I had a chance to go to Korean restaurant, the first menu that came to my mind was Jajangmyoen. And I found that its taste was so good. Therefore, everytimes I go to Korean restaurant, Jajangmyoen is always my order.

    For Samgyetang, I would like to try it in Korea. Since I’m Nichkhun FC, and he ever suggested this menu once, I would like to try the original one first. He said it’s a kind of healthy food. So I think I may love this menu for sure. kk Fortunately, I plan to go to Korea this year, so I will try it for sure. ^^

    Anyway, thank you for your sharing. It’s useful. Have a good luck for ‘TOUCH KOREA TOUR’. (^0^)/

    • I love spicy so I love tteokbokki 😀
      And yes, I also watch the show when they eat jajangmyeon, makes me more curious with its taste ㅋㅋㅋ

      Awww, you are lucky! Tell me how samgyetang original taste when you already try it, okay? 😀
      When will you go there?
      Have a pleasant holiday then^^

      Thankyouuu^^
      Good luck for you too 😀
      Thanks for already visit and comment 🙂
