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.

The Black-Haired Woman: Chiyuki

For this Character of the Week , I chose my favourite female protagonist ever. However, there will be heavy spoilers in this one, so beware if you have not seen the anime Death Parade yet! Her name in the anime is never revealed until the very end, and she has black hair with a tiny white strand on the right side, so she has always been known as The Black-Haired Woman (or, in Japanese, 黒髪の女 [Kurokami no Onna]). To fans, she is sometimes referred to as Onna , which means "woman" in Japanese. Her real name is Chiyuki , though her surname is unknown. The series followed Decim , the main character and the bartender of Quindecim , but the way Decim judges souls changes completely and the story makes a turn when the mysterious woman shows up at the bar. As she has no idea how or why she came there, she became Decim´s assistant at the bar and started helping him with the lost souls that comes frequently to the place, just like the black-haired woman. When you die, you arriv...

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...

Darling In The FranXX: 02

Today's "Character of the Week", I decided to include one of the main characters from the anime Darling In The FranXX, a short anime I really fancy. I will be talking about none other than Zero Two, or 002, the main heroine and the deuteragonist. Darling in the FranXX is a short (It has 1 season containing 24 episodes) Sci-Fi, Mecha, Action & Romance anime that premiered in winter 2018, airing from January 13th to July 7th 2018. Very well, onto the description: "In the distant future, humanity has been driven to near-extinction by giant beasts known as Klaxosaurs, forcing the surviving humans to take refuge in massive fortress cities called Plantations. Children raised here are trained to pilot giant mechas known as FranXX—the only weapons known to be effective against the Klaxosaurs - in boy-girl pairs. Bred for the sole purpose of piloting these machines, these children know nothing of the outside world and are only able to prove their existence by ...
