Seoul Day 7- Korean BBQ and Street Food!

Every country has it's unique customs.  
While dinning, I found it interesting that it is customary to take your shoes off and sit on the floor to eat  (even at restaurants).



GOGI GUI!
     Here is what a Korean BBQ looks like.  Korean BBQ or gogi gui is a meal where you get to grill beef, pork or chicken on a gas or charcoal grill built into the center of a table. You wrap the grilled meat in lettuce and dip it in sauce.  Yummy!

     Along with all my meals in Korea, I got all these small extra side dishes.  It's either pickled, spicy , covered in sesame oil or is in some form of tofu.  I love Korean side dishes, they are all so colorful and delicious ^o^
 
     I also found something similar to Korean BBQ except it's boiled seafood and tofu.

 Street Food
      Local street food is pretty damn good and cheap, not to mention it's very multi-cultural and creative.  Remember all those tall order's Erik had? Tall Orders (pictures of ice-cream and potato).  Here are some of the food I had on the street.
 
 Here's a typical streetmeat vendor, it's definitely not a hot dog.  It's three different sausages on a skewer :O
 


 You can even get some grilled squid.
