Top 6 Famous Korean Food

I have already made a very similar blog post to this called the same, except it was about Japanese food. But I just got this sudden urge today to learn more about South Korea and their food, and hopefully you, the readers, will learn something new or maybe even try one of these famous dishes! Perhaps you have tried some of these? Whether you have or not, why not tell me which dish sounds like the most delicious one?

1) First up is obviously Kimchi. Maybe you have already heard about it; Kimchi is basically a traditional Korean fermented dish that is often based on china cabbage. Kimchi can also refer to vegetable plates that are not fermented though. There are hundreds of different variations of the dish. Kimchi is Korea´s national dish.

2) Tteokbokki. Tteokbokki is a popular spicy Korean flavor/small dish. Tteokbokki is made of tteok (hence the part of the name), meat, vegetables, eggs and the spice gochujang in water. All in all, a spicy rice cake.

3) Hotteok. Hotteok is a variety of sweet filled pancakes, and is a popular street food in Korea. Hotteok is usually eaten during the winter season. Due to its high sugar content, a single Hotteok may have as many as 230 calories. The products are designed to be able to cook at home.

4) Soondae. Soondae, or sometimes spelled as sundae, is a type of blood sausage in Korean cuisine. It is a popular street food in both North Korea and South Korea, generally made by steaming cow or pig´s intestines stuffed with different ingredients, such as noodles, pork blood and barley.

5) Naengmyeon. Naengmyeon (in S. Korea), or raengmyon (in N. Korea), is a cold, spicy, chewy buckwheat noodle dish, with Korea as origin. It is a popular and common dish, especially during the summer to cool off from the heat and humid air in South Korea.

6) Hobak-juk. Hobak-juk is a variety of juk (porridge) made with pumpkin and glutinous rice flour. It is a smooth and naturally sweet pumpkin porridge that is traditionally served to recovering patients or the elderly.

80's J-Pop: Miki Matsubara

Album cover for Miki Matsubara's "Stay With Me". Miki Matsubara , or Suzie Matsubara [as she also went by], was a composer, lyricist and singer from Japan. She was known for her 80's J-Pop love songs, but really became famous after her debut single, " Stay With Me ", was released in November 1979. I'm sure many of you have heard this song, and I'm a fan of this talented woman myself, thus I decided to write about her. Early Life Miki Matsubara was born 28th of November 1959 in Osaka ( Kishiwada ), Japan. She grew up with a father, mother and younger sister in Hiraoka Town . Miki quickly became familiar with jazz music, as her mother was a jazz singer. She started playing piano at an outstandingly young age of 3 and simply embraced music in general, not only jazz but also rock. She went to ordinary schools her whole childhood and was praised as being a great and hardworking student who would enroll into university, but Miki had already dreams of beco...

Bongcheon Dong Ghost

Bongcheon-Dong Ghost is a short, South Korean horror webtoon (a type of digital comic) created by Horang August 23rd 2011. In July 2011, artist Horang published the short webtoon " Ok-su Station Ghost " on Naver Webtoon (a webtoon portal). This webtoon included 3D-like effects, including in a scene in which a ghost´s hand appears to jump out of the screen as if to grab the viewer. Horang followed this webcomic up with "Bongcheon-Dong Ghost" later that month. An English fan translation and video dub were created in August, as the webcomic quickly went viral internationally. Some people also recorded themselves reading the story and putting it up on YouTube for people to see their reactions. If you are too scared to read the story on your own, I recommend searching up PewDiePie's video of reading Bongcheon Dong Ghost. SPOILER. Set in Bongcheon-dong, Seoul, the webcomic shows a student walking home from school late at night meeting a female ghost who wa...

Corpse Party & Sachiko Shinozaki

Before starting with the Character of the Week, I would like to give background because I absolutely LOVE Corpse Party. It is so unique and, when I discovered it, unlike anything I had seen before! So, what is it? Corpse Party (in Japanese, コープスパーティー Kōpusu Pātī ) is a series of several things; Video games, anime OVA, manga works, drama CDs and live action films. I cannot go over every part of CP, that would be way too long of a blog post so I´ll be mostly talking about the games. This is the history & what it says on the official Fandom Wiki: "On April 22nd 1996, an adventure game called CORPSE-PARTY was published in the Spring 1996 edition of LOGIN Sofcom No.6 . It was made by a 22-year-old college student by the name of Makoto Kedouin , who typically stylizes his surname as Kedwin. On February 26th 1997, Kedwin won the grand prize in the Second Annual ASCII ENTERTAINMENT competition, netting him 5 million yen. It´d be nine years before the world saw Corpse Part...
