Swellfish family menu

A friend of my brother opened a swellfish restaurant in Shinsa Dong. He recommended a family set menu just available for weekend. This family set has two courses; A and B. A course is composed of fried one including sweet and sour one, vegetables seasoned with vinegar and other condiments, soup. Price is 20,000 won(VAT is excluded), B course is 15,000 won. We ordered A course and specially swellfish cutlet. In the occasion of my sister's birthday, we had a dinenr there. This restaurant is two stories building. It's so quite big. Price was very reasonable, and quality was so good. In ase of lunch menu at week day, it was 40,000 won. Next time, I wanna try that. I heard that famous football players visit this restaurant as soon as they arrive at Korea from away match.

Sushi set of Shik Do won

My sister ordered sushi set for me and my parents. Quality of sushi was so good. It was so fresh and tender. It made me so happy. Sushi set was composed of fresh sushi, fries of vegetable, sweet potato, and some rolls with dried seaweed. As I like so much sushi, I can well recognize which restaurant is good or not. It was made by Shik Do won, japanese restaurant near to my house. Although I had fish, eel, etc, sushi was the first time to me. It costed 30,000 won. It's expensive. However, I already indulged in that taste, I'll try to take it from time to time.

Macaron of Laduree

I met a old friend of mine who is living in Paris. It's been about 5 years since I met her. Although I lived a few years in Europe very close to Paris and I visited from time to time Paris to relax myself. As I was under much pressure and I was tied up with problems, I wanted to go anywhere even during a short weekend. As I had to take flight, a visit to other country was arranged in a very short time. Anyhow, I was so happy and I couldn't feel many years were passed. It's always so nice to meet old friend.
She brought macarons made by Laduree. Oh, so delicious. Colours also are so beautiful but taste also was so good. Thinking of the moment that I had some cakes, macarons with hot chocolate there, I appreciated her friendship.

Sushi plate of Dong Hae

Personally, I love sushi of Donghae. However, sometimes, fish is thickly cut, therefore, I can't take sushi at one time. And it's very difficult for me to cut fish with my teeth, because it's too thick. I know quality of fish is excellent. However, sometimes, I want to say to chef to cut fish more thinly.
I had a lunch with my brother. We ordered summer special menu with buckwheat noodle and a plate of sushi. Summer special was not so good. It is composed of two very small lump of noodles, and a few sushi. As we ordered additionally sushi, we wanted to enjoy noodles because buckwheat noodle is very special to take heat. Soupe of noodle was not so excellent. Price was around 10,000 won, so it was not cheap. I was a little disappointed at their presentation of summer special.

Okonomiyaki tasted in seoul

It was after a long interval that me and my sister visited 'okonomiyaki' restaurant. And it was the first time for us to try that food in Seoul. After shopping, we became very exhausted and starved. My sister saw one food program on TV about okonomiyaki, which showed a restaurant in Myung dong. Atmosphere and interiors of resto was not too much japanese, so it's fine. Staff was very kind. We ordered dinner set composed of okonomiyaki, fried noodles, other japanese fried one. And we ordered another take out menu for my parents. Food was good, very hot. As okonomiyaki takes time in cooking for about 10 minutes, we could fill out our empty stomache with other set menu. I drank up also draft of Asahi. Quantity was so little. Price of resto is in general a little expensive. However as a special menu, it's fine fro0 time to time.

Wild rocambol

It's really spring. In korea, the weather is very warmer over a few days with some moist rain, therefore, I imagined that now, we're entering the beginning of summer, not spring. In general, korean peoples take seasonal foods per season absorbing the best nuitrive element, that each seasonal food/food stuff make for season.
In spring also, there are a lot of foods, food stuffs. As a good example, we made seasoned wild rocambol. Wild rocambol is a representative herb. It's a little bitterish so it's very good food to stimulate one's appetite. It contains much Vitamin.

Preparation : some wild rocambol, some soybean sauce, some powdered sesam,
Recipe : mix some wild rocambol adding some soybean sauce.

After making this seasoned wild rocambol, this sauce(based on soybean sauce) is flavory thanks to wild rocambol. Therefore, when we make some mixed rice(bibim bap) or some fresh vegetable salad, we can use this sauce also.

Hard boiled eggs of covey

Today, I challenged to make a hard-boiled egg of covey.

Preparation : eggs of covey, one onion, 1 cup of water, 1 cup of soy bean,
some powder of sesame
Recipe : 1) boil eggs of covey for 15 minutes
2) peel eggs of covey
3) put peed eggs of covey into a small pot
4) boil them for 7 minutes
in mean time, arriving at about 5 minutes, put some slices of onions
5) sprinkle some poweder of sesame

It seems very easy to boil eggs of covey. However, as eggs are so small, and if eggs are too much boiled, shape of eggs are not well formed while peeling.
This time, my mother helped me, however, next time, I can do it by myself.
