김밥~~~ Kimbap!


Hello~






As you know Kimbap (김밥>김 is the dried seaweed, and 밥 is rice),

is the traditional Korean food..and is a well~known food even abroad. Basically, it is made following the sushi style but, there is one difference!
Sushi rolls are filled with raw fish...Kimbap is filled with meat or veggies. Kimbap is like the Korean version of a sandwich- you can change the filling to fit any diet, palate, or occasion.

I tried to eat it in a Korean restaurant in Seoul, and it was sooo good and tasty. There are so many kind of kimbap u can choose not just *meat* and usually they serve even side dishes..etc..




Don-t they look tasty???~~

친구 & Vietnamese cusine~







Pho Mein Restaurant~ 포메인                                  


HI~~**안녕~


During a very very hot Korean day, my friend (언니) and I decided to go to play together ~ we went shopping, hanging around the city, cafe etc...after that..since it was really so hot and we were a bit hungry~ ^^ We decided to try something different from the Korean food: ......Vietnam cusine....


{actually I was a bit skeptick about that kind of food, since I have never tried that kind of cusine, but it was not as bad as it seemed}




We got to the franchise restaurant called: Pho Mein ~ 포메인.
The interior looks very cosy and elegant, made by the black furnitures.
After checking the menu we went for the so called ~ Pho mein's Pho~포메인 쌀국수, even if they have a wide range of noodles soup.







As soon as we sit the staff brought us water *in Korea water is free* and even green tea in a small cup~ but very tasty~

FINALLY WE GOT OUR NOODLES!



홍두깨
Various of Boiled Beef Pho = 10.000won ~7 Euros

The broth was really hot ㅋㅋㅋㅋand the meat was well cooked, not spicy thankfully and the onion that was inside did not was too much strong. The thing that I did not like so much was ..the noodles..their texture was totally different from the Korean or Japanese ones. This kind of noodles were very thick and not so tasty.
Moreover, they also bring you some side dishes like, vegetables, soy, sauces etc...


It was good day~^^&^^

See u to the next post!!!

이탈리아 요리! Italian cuisine in Korea


안녕하세요!!

Hello^^))

Today I will talk about the Italian cuisine in Korea..*cough*cough in some restaurants is pretty 

similar to the real one, but in others...well..it's just spicy as hell, because they cook pasta or 

pizza, but following the Korean cooking style and tastes. 

I have found a pretty good restaurant which is a franchise..u can find it both in Gangnam, 

Hongdae and elsewhere in Korea. It's called


"프리모바치오바치" = "primo bacio   

baci"



PRICE~ 11.000WON around 7EUROS

















Actually the name sounds so strange in Italian hahah but it worth for the cooking.


You can find this restaurant just outside the EXIT 10 of Gangnam Stn, once u are out of the 

station pass "Eblin" store, and the location is pretty hidden...it's located on top of a high 

stair near a store. U better book before going there for eating..bcos it's always full..so it's 

good to avoid the queue.


















The inside has pretty simple 

furnitures and a simple place..but 

confortable!^^))





I went there twice or three times with 

a friend, and I have to say that 빵* 

cream pasta* and 파스타 

*pasta* really tastes same real Italian 

style. But when we ordered 

*Margherita pasta* I didn-t like 

that much..too much cheese. 




want some more, u can ask for free refill!~ isn-t it cool?

Same with the drinks and with the cream of the pasta ...u pay one drink and the refill is FREE~

At the end of the meal u can have FREE ICE CREAM~ strawberry or lemon.

















Bon appetit^^ 

Haru^^

고기구이 or Korean BBQ


Let's talk about the Korean BBQ, or 고기구이^^

I find it extremely tasty and it's the prefect way to share it with friends while

talking and laughing or drinking.

For dinner I went in a typical BBQ restaurant in Gangnam with my friend, I

wanted to eat  Mul-naengmyeon (Cold noodles with chilled broth and ice)






and my friend wanted to eat BBQ..so we chose to go to this restaurant, which

cook both BBQ and Naengmyon.

The served us lots of 고기 (meat) such as: 갈비살 ( galbisal= beef), 삼겹살

(samgyupsal = pork belly)

etc...together with the typical and usual side dishes (반찬)..such as : 밥,

(cooked rice), guk (soup), gochujang , kimchi, mushrooms, shrimps,

soy,  and finally the Noodles

we ordered.


This is how the restaurant looks for inside, it's Always full so we had to wait a

bit before sitting inside. Those kind of "seats" have a special use hahah guess

what??

They are made for putting bags inside.




Almost all korean restaurants that serve grilled meat has a grill place at the

center of the table.






And...after the meat is cooked.. you will need to use a scissor for cutting it into

small pieces, prepare your chopsticks and...

 
 
 
 
voilà...ready to eat^^

KTO ~ Korea Tourism Organization



KTO, acronym of Korea Tourism Organization, is a government organization dedicated to spreading helpful information you need about the Land of the Morning Calm.
You can visit its website here : Visitkorea . The website is in English but is available in different languages, such as Korean, Japanese, Chinese and Spanish.
My intention is not a complete description of Visit Korea website nor listing all the useful information, news and curiosities you can find as the post would turn out too loooong and boring (?). <(。_。)> Mianhae!
I've noticed that many people who are interested in Korea and hope for a travel there soon don't know where they can buy a guide, I'm talking about the Italians because here Korea and its culture (unfortunately) is not so well-known but my post will be helpful for all those who are in searching of some guides.

KTO, acronimo di Korea Tourism Organization, è un'organizzazione governativa dedicata alla diffusione di utili informazioni sul Paese del Calmo Mattino.
È possibile visitare il suo sito qui: Visitkorea. Il sito è in inglese, ma è disponibile in diverse lingue, come il coreano, giapponese, cinese e spagnolo. No, niente italiano (>.<)
La mia intenzione non è una descrizione completa del sito né un elenco di tutte le informazioni, notizie e curiosità che si possono trovare, se no il post risulterebbe troppo lungo e noioso (?). <(. _.)> Mianhae!
Ho notato che molte persone, interessate alla Corea e che sperano di fare presto un viaggio là, non sanno dove si possano acquistare delle guide. Sto parlando degli italiani perché qui la Corea e la sua cultura (purtroppo) non è così ben nota, ma il mio post sarà utile per tutti coloro che sono alla ricerca di guide.


Some months ago, on a friend's adivice, I registered on Visit Korea website because if you want to, it can send you for free some brochures about the country!
Here the steps (Step In Step In "ヽ ('▽`) ノ " ~ Kara's song has just jumped in my mind) you need to follow for the registration and to obtain the guides:

Alcuni mesi fa, su consiglio di una mia amica, mi registrai sul sito Visit Korea perché, se lo si vuole, potete farvi spedire a casa dei depliant riguardo la Corea a gratis.
Ecco i passaggi che dovete seguire per registrarvi nel sito e ottenere le guide:


1. Open the link I gave you before (the website one), the home page of the website will be opened. In the upper right there are some links in white. Click on the "Sing Up" button.

Aprite il link che vi ho dato prima (quello del sito) e la home page del sito si aprirà. In alto a destra ci sono alcuni link in bianco. Schiacciate quello con la scritta "Sing Up".




2. Now you have to choose your Membership. Choose the "Individual Membership" by clicking on the "Sing-up now" button on the right.

Ora dovete scegliere la vostra Membership. Scegliete la "Individual Membership" cliccando sul bottone "Sing-up now" sulla destra.



3. Agree to all the Terms and Conditions then an other page will be opened. Fill the blanked spaces with your personal information (do NOT forget your address!) and click on the "Submit" button. 

Accettate tutti i Termini e le Condizioni, si aprì poi un'altra pagina. Inserite in tutti gli spazi vuoti i vostri dati personali (NON dimenticate l'indirizzo!) e cliccate su "Submit".


4. You will receive a mail within few minutes, it lets you activate your account.

A questo punto riceverete una mail che vi permetterà di attivare il vostro account.


5. Once the account is activeted you have to go to the "Home Page" and go on the right side of the screen where there's the "Quick Menu". There you have to click on "Request a Brochure" and choose the guide you want to have (make sure it's the free one)!

Un volta attivato l'account, andate sulla "Home Page" e a lato, sulla destra, apparirà un "Quick Menu". Lì dovete cliccare su "Request a Brochure" e scegliere la guida che volete ricevere (accertatevi che sia quella gratuita)!






6. The last but not the least step is... waiting for your guides d(-_^)

L'ultimo ma non meno importante passaggio è... aspettare le vostre guide d(-_^)



I think the content of the package and the language of the guides could be different from country to country. Example: I'm Italian, I have received the complete guide book in Italian, an other one full of photos of the countries during the different seasons in English, Korea's map and a little brochure of the important events and festivals in French (language that I don't speak XD). My friend was luckier because she's also received a food recipes book!

Credo che il contenuto del pacco e le lingue delle guide cambino a seconda del vostro Paese. Esempio: io sono italiana e ho ricevuto una guida completa in italiano, un'altra piena di foto del Paese durante le quattro stagioni in inglese, la mappa della Corea e un piccolo depliant riguardo eventi e festival importanti che si sarebbero svolti in francese (lingua che non parlo XD). La mia amica è stata più fortunata perché ricevette anche un libro con informazioni sui piatti tipici coreani e con alcune ricette!
