Korean Restaurant (한국 식당)/냉면,갈비탕 ,두부찌개



Korean Restaurant

On last Friday, I was taken to one of the Korean restaurants in Bandung. It is located in Jalan Sukajadi. Although I have tasted some of Korean dish, but I have never been to Korean restaurant before. So, it was my first visit there.

The Menu
The dish names are written in Korean and Indonesian, so you won’t get confused. My Korean friend Hye Ryong and Won asked me to choose which food I would like to have. They are many of them which I haven’t tasted. But for that day, I decided I would like to have 갈비탕 (it’s beef rib soup) and they ordered another food 냉면 (cold noodle) and 두부찌개(spicy tofu soup). Before that they almost ordered food that has 돼지고기 (pork) in it. Luckily, her husband remembered that I am a Muslim.

Ice in Noodle?
I was surprised to see ice inside the noodle on냉면. It actually has ice. Since the day was hot, so it was suitable. Before eating, we were given side dish or 반찬. They are served on small bowl and they are many. But you can always find Kimchi.
I had Chinese cabbage and radish Kimchi, if I am not mistaken. And there’s 호박 which is cooked like the one I sometimes have at home. It is almost the same. Then there’s 시금치 (spinach) which was cooked with sesame oil (참기름). The palace has 12반찬. Wow!

Scissors?
The rice (밥) is served on stainless steel bowl. 냉면 is served on stainless steel bowl, big one. 두부찌개 and 갈비탕 on earthenware bowl. I was shocked when I saw the waitress bringing scissors. What was it for? I said to myself. Oh, it turned out it was used for cutting the buckwheat noodles. I never know that. Unfortunately, they don’t give Korean spoon and chopsticks. Indonesian rice and Korean rice are different. Although the amount of rice which was served to me was not much, but since the Korean rice is almost the same like glutinous rice, so it can easily make you feel full. It is just like eating Japanese rice. Hye Ryong said that the Korean would eat two bowls of rice. What? I was so full by just eating one bowl plus those반찬 and those soups. I could hardly get up. Hye Ryong husband said that he would eat 3 bowls of Bakso (Indonesian noodles and meat balls). And Hye Ryong said that she would easily feel hungry because Indonesian food was served in small amount. Well, I guess they need to go to Padang restaurant. They will get the same thing like they have in Korean restaurant ^_____^.

The Nice Couple
They were very nice persons. They kept giving me food. I had to reject them since my stomach couldn’t handle more food. Oh, don’t ask about the price. It’s expensive for Indonesians. At least, it is for me. It is just like when you walk into Japanese restaurant. Prepare your money. Anyway, it was a great and refreshing experience for me. 잘 먹었어요 ^^.

프라이팬 놀이/Frying Pan Game/BTS

Playing Frying Pan Game/BTS We played a new game called Frying pan game (프라이팬 놀이) with our Korean guests in our Korean Class. It was fun. It’s like catching the mouse game. We learn the Korean numbers in the same time.  Say, if your friend mentions your name and the number, you have to mention your name according to the number he/she mentions previously.  For example, if your friend says "Dana dul (2)", so you have to say your name twice, "Dana...Dana" and so on and so on. If you make a mistake, well, you get the punishment. The type of the punishment depends on the agreement of the players. They are many types, trust me. Just choose one.  This game was played on one of the TV programs in Korea hosted by Kang Ho Dong (강 호 동), Hye Ryong said. 재미 있네요. 우리 애들이 놀이를 좋아해요.  But hey! BTS too played this game on one of their TV shows.  You can check out the video  here  So far, we have learned many Korean games. Mostly we got...

Yutnori

Yutnori Apa itu Yutnori ? Hmmm... pernah dengar yutnori (dibaca: yunnori)? kata ini bukan berasal dari bahasa Jawa tapi bahasa Korea. Yutnori adalah nama salah satu permainan tradisional Korea.  Permainan ini biasa dimainkan secara beregu ketika acara tahun baru Korea yang disebut juga 설날 (sollal) . Tahun baru biasanya menjadi ajang kumpul seluruh anggota keluarga. Selain makan Tteokguk , mereka biasanya memainkan Yutnori . Ini penampakan Yutnori , ada papan permainan dan dadunya. Yang unik, dadunya tidak bentuk kotak seperti kebanyakan dadu pada umumnya tapi berbentuk batangan. Hal lain yang membedakan dadu  yutnori  dari dadu pada umumnya adalah tidak ada bentuk titik-titik yang melambangkan angka. Yang ada itu tulisan  도  (Do),  개  (Gae),  걸  (Gul), dan  윷  (Mo) .   Eh, permainan ini pernah muncul disalah satu drama Korea yang dulu nge-hits banget dulu, Princess Hours. Kalau tidak salah di ep...

Historical Visit

Historical Visit Besides visiting Baduy. We also visited the old Banten. Banten used to be the most popular kingdom. It is known till England. Once their representative visited England and they were welcomed exaggeratedly. Banten is famous because it had an international port for trading. People from many countries visited it. Unfortunately there’s disagreement between the father—Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa—and the son—Sultan Haji who collaborated with the Dutch—which lead to the destruction of the palace and the vanquishing the offspring of the royal family. They now spread everywhere. The remnant was unknown back then till recently on the initiative of one person there the digging was conducted. During the old regime, Old Banten was stated to be dead site. So, not like Borobudur temple, the Old Banten remained infamous. The reconstruction was done very slowly. You can see in my pictures there. Instead now, the site is famous for the people who believe in magic tricks. They wh...
