Asian Journey - Seoul

I will never forget the trip to Seoul, South Korea with my dearest friend Andrea. It was a wonderful experience in a beautiful country. If you decide to visit Seoul, do visit it in April as the cherry blossoms start to bloom. Anyway, this post is about my trip to Seoul ( a restaurant in Sea Point).

Some of the large variety of Korean food I saw during my trip

Seoul is a small restaurant tucked among the shops in Regent Road, Sea Point. When we went, there was a bus load of Koreans dining at the same time! To start with, we were given Kimchi condiments. There were 4 types of Kimchi : Cucumber, cabbage, seaweed and bean sprouts. I liked the cabbage and cucumber kimchi in particular.

We ordered 2 simple meals- Spicy Chicken Hotpot and Sweet and Sour Chicken. The Spicy Chicken Hotpot lived up to its name. It was spicy and very flavourful. The flavours came from bean paste. Ingredients included chicken pieces, carrot, cucumber, onion, spring onions and chillies.

The sweet and sour chicken though, is very different compared to what you would think its like. It consisted of fried chicken pieces with a very sweet sauce. I would have preferred the Chinese Sweet Sour chicken which has more ingredients and flavour.
