Korean cuisine is delicious and varied. If you're wondering where to eat in Seoul, there are numerous cafes, bars and, of course, restaurants with Korean, European dishes.
If we talk about the main features of South Korean cuisine, it should be mentioned that there is a lot of rice, seafood and vegetables. The dishes are usually generously spiced and the locals are partial to spicy appetizers. Kimchi (pickled cabbage) is a popular national dish.
Fish dishes include taewigim (batter-fried fish), bhajeon (seafood pancakes), hwee (thinly sliced raw fish), and maeunthang (soup made from scum).
Koreans don't deny themselves meat, either, with a variety of beef, pork, and chicken dishes on the menu. For example, kalbi, which is made from beef or pork. Carefully sliced pieces of marinated meat are fried in a sauce and eaten with seasonings.
Try pulkogi, a sweet meat sautéed and served with various seasonings. Samgyethang, a soup of chicken stuffed with rice, ginseng and jujube fruit, will be interesting to try.
Dish made from dog meat is also in honor, but it is by no means an everyday food, but rather a rather rare product.
Local alcoholic beverages are usually a product of rice processing (rice vodka or beer).
