I needed to find the place to eat alone. As I wrote before, it was not easy to find the restaurant to eat alone in Mokpo. Almost of the menu was served for more than 2 persons at least, due to the side dishes. The side dishes played the important role in Korean culinary. I hope to introduce the side dishes next time.
My option for enjoying the food was very restricted in the representative area of Korean food. While walking around here and there to find proper restaurant, I saw the interesting restaurant. What I thought interesting was the title of that restaurant. The name of the restaurant was “Hae Nam sik dang”. Here ‘sik dang’ means the restaurant.
‘Hae Nam’ is a small area not far from Mokpo city. In Mokpo city, the representative local area of the culinary in Korea, using it’s local name in Mokpo could be conceived as a kind of the aggressive measures.
It means that the owner of that restaurant is confident in his food. Their main menu was the pork spine soup. I have not heard that they use the pork spine of the culinary in other country until now.
In Korea, the feet and the spine of the pork is very good material for food. The feet and the spine of the pork were considered as the food for the common people. The beef was very expensive for ordinary people. Besides the cows were very important for the agriculture, so the government strictly prohibited to butcher the cows.
Naturally the pork was the main source for attaining the protein with the chickens.
One problem in cooking the pork was a smell. The pork has the some stinking smell. So it was the most important secret that the ways to reduce the stinking smell.
The common recipe was using lots of red pepper and the garlic. That strong spicy reduce the stinky smell.
In this restaurant, the recipe was quite different from that of other restaurant. They did not put any strong spicy. It means that they have special recipe of their own. They had opened the restaurant with this special recipe for several decades.
I could not feel any stinky smell in this food. The taste of the soup was so light, simple.
It seemed that they put korean traditional drug plants to reduce the smell.
Using the Korean traditional drug plant in the recipe would be a small act.
But this small try often results in the Big change.
Success depends on weather you make an innovation or not. In many cases, the innovations are not far from our ordinary life.
(The way to eat. It is the same as I have explained before several times)
At first, you need to eat the pork
Next, put the rice into the bowl
I drank it up to the bottom.
It was cold outside. I had walked for all day long to look around the city.
It was nice food for me. I strongly recommend to visit this restaurant when you visit Mokpo city.
It looks yummy. Send me free tickets :P i would love to travel this place
delicious food
This part of the year is when I like to eat some things like Chinese hot pot or Korean Kim Chi. They've got very good food. I also like pork and beef stew. Thanks for sharing.
I have not tried Korean food !!! Any other recommendation other than this dish?
Oh you need to try.
Enjoying different food is an adventure to the unknown world
you have to tried a dish from venezuela.
Exactamente. Estoy de acuerdo, jaja
Try Bibimbap @josedasilva
I tried it and i really like it.. actually that was my first Korean food that i tasted..
Bulgogi is one of famous Korean food. :)
Refer my post
Just nothing so says
Hmmm... Mouth watering @hiroyamagishi
I think you have an exquisite taste of food
Thank you for dropping by.
Each country has it's special culinary
The way they have presented the dish, it looks like Indian Thali(Big food dish) in which you get so many side dishes to taste.
I think this type of food make Thailand ,China,Japan,Indonesia,Myanmar,Korea . They are just boil the food and mix the chili ,solt etc. They are not though the water because this water has lots of protin ,calorie , energy. Its aslo so delicious.
lol,
Right soup is very important part of the culinary in those countries
Wow nice food Enjoying different food is an adventure to the unknown world Each country has it's special culinary thank you for sharing the post
It is a good meal and considering that the pork has a distinct smell it is just corrected by the dips and side dishes which is incorporated on what they served you that makes a lot of difference on enjoying that Mokpo food @slowwalker
I am glad that you just enjoyed eating there at Mokpo. Wishing that you would share more of Korea soon.
Thank you as always @cryptopie
The soup really looks appetizing and you have done justice to drink it up to the bottom :)
¡Se ve deliciosa! Pero, el problema de las sopas es que llenan muy rápido, ¿no crees?
lol
Aaah, everytime I see a picture from you on something from korea I´m starting to miss this amazing country even more. Especially Seoul, which is simply such an amazing city.
Korean food is really the best! Thanks for sharing!
That soup looks delicious, how spicy was it?
Great idea.it is awesome to me.
;))
It looks very good!
Wow, the food look so delicious and healthy...I would surely take up your recommendation to visit the restaurant any time I visit the area / Korea-Love Korean and Chinese foods...thanks for sharing this and all your support.
the culinary in North east asia is so delicate.
You will like it
Just curious why are cows so important for agriculture? I thought they were only used for milk and meat?
Wow! I like pork stew. It makes me want to eat dinner again. Haha!
lol
I also need my silence place when I go into a restaurant otherwise I have low appetite. Is this some Kimchi in the middle of your dinner tray? I think, it´s very common in many cultures to cook the bones and meat for a soup...tasty and makes you strong ;)
Yes, that's Kimchi.
Thank you for dropping by
:)Thanks. I already asked my Korean girlfriend yesterday about your meal. She introduced me to Kimchi one year ago. Really on the contrary to the fastfood in most restaurants.
loved your post, I invite you to check my last post "history of cupping and his benefits-"if you like :)
Looks delicious!
Smells delicious!
Let's eat!
Good to see Mr Bean you remind me the episode of Mr Bean where he order the expense dish would not eat and hide food all around.
Oh yeah!
Beans and bread
Oh yeah!
lol
:)
I can understand you very well. I also prefer a silence place when I go into a restaurant. Otherwise you can't really enjoy your meal.
I really love to make korean homade kimchi myself. If you're interested in you can find my recipe on my blog 😊 I've posted it a few days ago.
good job
@exyle hahehah :)
nice
hmmm good food
I wish to visit Mokpo too one of these days. It must be interesting.
I was in dubai when first time I tried this food. Its really very good food.
It's winter, cold and damp. I prefer all my food warm, including the salad. So, something like a German potato salad or an Adennaise specialty, "salade au lard" :)
;))
I read your article and i wonder what side dishes is... And I hope one day I will travel like you... Last a few days you shared a lot of beautiful things-i like the museum part especially... -and I want to say... I can't eat boiled meat... I don't like it I don't know why... But without meat soup looks like great... :) if you have a time you can visit my page and check my works maybe....
Have a nice day...
I am checking ur works..its awesome :)
Thank you so much
Wow....
The food here just makes me feel so hungry already.
Thanks for making me know that using lots of red pepper and the garlic reduces the smell of the pork.
And, by the way, enjoy your meal and your stay in Mokpo city.
;D
Love HaeJangGook!
and Slowwalker you are definitely eating it properly because some people try to eat the meat with their chopsticks which is a no-no
You need to forcefully use both hands to bite the meat off the bones!
YEAH!
hahaha
