What are some of your favorite Korean foods. As a foreigner, this might be a little tough. Since all you seem to see around is the same type of restaurants and Ajummas preparing what is offered four to five times on the same block

If you're lucky you've befriended a native, who has shown you around a little. I'm lucky because our company provides three squares a day. The chef, a female cutie graduated from Korean culinary school. It's been a week and a half and nothing has been served twice.

I love bean Korean bean sprouts (prepared anyway)
cha-chiang myeun (has chinese roots)
chang-pong (has chinese roots)
spicy cuttle-fish kimchee
dried squid kimchee
potato starch thouk (hard to find, its translucent, green and grayish)
the fresh hot thouk (you can only get processed thouk in the US)
fresh tofu
others I can't think of...

I'm getting hungry.
sweet corn soup (kuksu?)

Anything ending in Tang.
Hwae Daup Bap
Anything grilled and coming with lots of side dishes (ie Sam Gyup Sal)

[mindmetoo]

Bibimbap dol sot. Chamchi kimbap. Samgak kimbap!

Yang-yeum dubu
Dubu jiggae (better than son dubu jaggae IMO)
Yachi chim-tak

[crazylemongirl]

I can't get enough of dolsot bibimbab could eat it every day.

Also love samgyetang, galbitang

Anything that involves DIY girlling on bbq
hoddeok in winter are just faboulous.

Bulgogi.

A good twang-jung chi-gae with five grain rice, and the sides.

I have noticed over that last year that my taste for what is good tasting (correct tasting?) korean food, has increased to the point I can make sound judgements about its quality. Koreans think it odd, but usually I am correct. Any old twang-jung chi-gae just wont do, it has to been great twang-jung chi-gae.

i too love dolsot bibimbap, enough to keep eating it even after i got a wicked case of food poisoning from it once. i just ask for the egg to be well cooked!

mul neangmyun in the summer is great, i eat that all the time.
smoked duck bulgogi is the s@#$

You can't beat a good dahk-doe-ri-tang or kam-ja-tang. Dahk-gal-bi comes close though.

[VanIslander]

I've recently developed a fondness for budae jjigae.



Any kind of jjigae actually.
