Food in Korea, Early to Mid July
I finally bought my own digital camera! Checking all the aspects such as ISO, I chose Nikon Coolpix P5000. Though there were some other models from Nikon or other brands such as Canon that are compact, slim, and pretty, I am happy with this somewhat plain black design. I am currently charging the battery for the first time, and can't wait to check it out!
Koreanized version of Japanese Soba. This cold noodle is very nice for a hot summer day. It is in a nearby huge grocery store, where I visit quite often, eating by the stand with my mom.
A cake from Duchamp, with caramel coated hazelnuts and hazelnut cream. 
Mandoo guk, Korean Dumpling soup. My mom and I were making the dumplings, though mine was a lot uglier and not fit for a picture. It tasted the same though!
My lunch. Rice with barly, black rice, onion, carrot and broiled egg pieces in Kitsune(fried bean curd). Japanese influenced snack, I should say, Korean style.
A tofu dish I love. It is a type of banchan(many side dish accompanied with rice, soup, and possibly a main dish. Most of them can be stored as left over for days. It's a uniquely Korean thing). Though tasting best when just cooked and served warm, it gives a different kind of delight the next day, cold after being kept in the fridge.
Galbi jjim. This would be more of a main dish, not banchan. It is simmered beef, similar to a stew. A popular Korean dish and one of the food that I am putting in the small Korean cookbook that I am working on with my mom. We used Angus instead of Korean beef to see how it would work out, and though Korean beef is better for soup or stew type dish(American beef is better when grilled), it worked fine.
