Ok, I'd like to expand my culinary knowledge. Here's my typical diet:

Korea food 4 times a week:

sundubu/dolsotbebimbap/yukkaejung/chambong (chinese soup)/kim bap/kimcheechigae/twaenchangchigae/tangsuyuk/kalguksu/

The other days I eat fried chicken near my house:

My oh my and Nyaet Nal (which means old chicken in Korea).

I never eat at Western restaurants. I don't have the desire. The occassional McD's or pizza but that's about it.

I'd like to expand my Korean menu. What do you like and what s it? I don't care to hear about Western food....just Korean food and that great fried chicken.

Oh, by the way, my strength has gone through the roof on this diet. (weight training)

Wow.. so you like these soup based dishes?

Have you ever had things like galbi-tang (beef rib broth), bulgogi, galbi, etc. etc.?

Anything ending in guk sounds like the trick for you. Also get a hold of some samgyetang. Go to a mountain restaurant with a load of banchan and you'll eventually see what you like.

뼈해장국 (byeo haejangguk) is probably my favorite food in Korea.

It's spicy soup made with pieces of stewed pork spine, some vegetables and maybe potato or noodles in it.

Try 닭도리탕 it's a spicy chicken soup with potatoes and carrots. It's good but it's not really set up for one person to eat so take a friend.

I second this. So good.

BTW, Western food doesn't only consist of McDonald's and pizza. It can be healthy you know? Rolling Eyes You're so cool for only eating Korean food.

I think an underrated food in Korea is Jjukkumi. Grilled spicy baby octopus....so good. and jjimdak is really good too.

Avoid the hongeo, my friend.

Since coming to Korea, I have developed a taste for pork. I used to only eat chicken in the states, so chicken dishes are like pizza and McDonald's food to me.
