Many Korean dramas have been popular in our country for many years. Through Korean dramas, people born in the 80s and 90s can learn something about Korean culture and food, such as fried chicken and beer, whole fish feasts, Korean cuisine, etc. When I feel that the food is delicious and delicious, I can't help but drool when I see these Korean delicacies through the screen. It seems to be more memorable than romantic dramas showing affection. But are Korean roadside stalls really as delicious as those in Korean dramas? After personally experiencing Korean roadside stalls, I finally understood: It turns out that we have all been "fooled" by Korean dramas. Even my girlfriend said that this is very different from what we saw in Korean dramas.

This time I traveled to South Korea with a group and the food was hard to describe. Several people had one pot, which was filled with Chinese cabbage, tofu, and bean sprouts. It took me a long time to find the slices of meat before I picked out a few slices. The key is the slices of meat. It still had a slightly fishy smell, but in the end I found that the side dishes provided were quite refreshing. However, we thought that the food in the group would not be very good, so we decided to look for food on the streets of Korea in the evening.

I have eaten too many Korean barbecue restaurants in China such as Hanbulgung Palace and Hallasan Mountain, and I want to see what authentic Korean barbecue looks like. When the two of them arrived at the store, they discovered that the meat in Korean barbecue restaurants was all marinated, and they could not find the original meat slices at all. Secondly, the marinade was not as delicious as the domestic marinade, and the taste was weird. After grilling, Then we dipped it in Korean sauce and ate it. The taste of the sauce was hard to describe. It was far different from the taste of our cumin. Moreover, it cost several hundred yuan for two people to eat just a little bit. The price was really not cheap.

Soju is indispensable for eating barbecue in Korea, just like beer is indispensable for eating barbecue in us. Although it is called soju, the alcohol content of Korean soju is really nothing compared to that of our country's "shochu". The alcohol content of their liquor is generally less than 20 degrees, while the alcohol content of our country's liquor is generally less than 20 degrees. They are all above 35 degrees. People with common knowledge about liquor know that if the liquor content is lower than 30 degrees, the aroma of the liquor will hardly be stimulated, and there will be some flocculent impurities that will affect the clarity of the liquor. This is the reason why the protagonists in Korean dramas can drink a glass of soju in one gulp without getting drunk. It is not because Koreans have a good capacity for alcohol, but because the alcohol content is not high. For us Chinese, drinking Korean soju is probably like drinking alcoholic water. It only has the taste of alcohol but no aroma of wine. It is really "tasteless to drink, but a pity to throw away".

I didn’t feel too happy when I came out of the barbecue restaurant. I saw fried rice cakes on the roadside, so I thought the rice cakes should be soft and crispy and delicious. I queued for a long time and ordered a portion of fried rice cakes. When I took the first bite, I felt like I couldn't swallow it. This rice cake turned out to be spicy and sour, and it was not crispy on the outside. It was full of the taste of hot and sour dipping sauce. Except for being a bit soft and glutinous, in other aspects it was the same as our rice cakes. A world of difference.

I didn’t enjoy the fried rice cake. Let’s try the authentic Korean bibimbap. This snack is more famous and should be delicious. However, for more than 50 yuan a portion, there are not two pieces of meat in it. The soybean paste occupies the entire pot. It tastes salty, sour and a little spicy. It also comes with the often-known Korean kimchi. The taste is also very simple. It is not good at using spices to neutralize the taste of the food. In my opinion, this is the obvious characteristic of Korean food. It is salty and spicy to stimulate the taste buds. This taste is difficult for us to swallow. In comparison, the food in our country is in line with human eating habits.

A personal summary: You can still eat the Korean fried noodles and rice sausages in Korean food stalls. The taste of other dishes is basically sour, spicy, sweet or no taste at all. The food tastes like chewing in the mouth, and a certain pungent taste is too prominent. It is not like Chinese food at all. A simple dish can have a very rich and round taste. This phenomenon may have something to do with national culture. Bar.

When traveling in South Korea, I found that Koreans treat people who speak Japanese, English and Chinese differently. They are not as inclusive and inclusive as we in China, so we need to be mentally prepared in advance.
