the majority of that looks disgusting to me.

No offense intended, KKF. It's cool you're such a fan of it.

Traveling for work, I had a cold and went into a Korean restaurant looking for soup. I had eaten bulgogi and bibimbap, so I was not a complete n00b, but this was still one of my first times eating Korean.

I saw a beef soup on the menu, thought - perfect. So I ordered the yukejang.

I expected to get a bowl of brown broth. Instead I got <font color="red">red</font>. Glowing red.

Damn, that was hot. Took care of the sinuses, though.

Since then I have had that again, plus kimchi jigae, sun tubae jigae, etc. Good stuff.

KKF, all the food in the OP looks nasty, basically. But Korean BBQs are very good. Kalbi ftw.

Well I wouldn't expect to taste much else if you ate kimchi. (You know the traditional prep method is to bury it in the ground for a long time, right? Though I don't think anyone does that much anymore.)

It's been a while since I was in Korea, but BBQ (Galbi) with roasted garlic and lettuce leaves would be my favorite. Do they serve it that way in the states?

Have you ever had the soup that is served cold but is spicy in flavor? It's an interesting combination of tastes.

Edit: I love the tradition of singing at gatherings.

Wow, way to leave out galbi known widely as "Korean BBQ," the most popular and arguably the most delicious korean "dish." Can't really expect more from KKF.

Koreana is mediorcre. I lived down the street from there for years. I much prefer JAE's in Brookline. While not strictly Korean, their Korean dishes are magnificent.

I had eaten bulgogi...

Bulgogi (I'd spell it with a "P", but I guess either could be acceptable) isn't bad.

But if you hear the word "Day-gogi" mentioned in the kitchen, just drop the chopsticks, and get the hell out of there.
