Galbi
On Sunday night, we went to this little restaurant (the one with the green sign on the bottom) for what's called "Galbi" (have no idea if I'm spelling that correctly).
Outside the shop, there's a man making hot coals. Inside, we all sat down at a long table with 2 round metal basins in the centre. The man came and put the coals in the basin, and put a grill over top. We were then brought a plate of raw beef and pork, which we grilled. We were also brought tons of little side dishes. Once the meat was grilled, we put it onto 2 lettuce leaves and a paper-thin slice of radish, and garnished it with the side dishes (bean paste, rice, etc). Then we rolled it all up and ate it. Sort of an interesting flavour. Oh yes, and I am slowly learning to use chopsticks. Most of the time they still get away from me and point in all different directions...it can be pretty funny!
Then it was off to Baskin Robbins for dessert....ice cream fondue! haha!
