Korean healthy food travel journal. Ipari restaurant, raw meat and other K-food stories

      

 As a foreigner who lives in Korea, I can tell that sometimes it is difficult for me to find a nice place where to eat. Korea has so many restaurants and most of them have amazing food, however, I know that Koreans only eat in very delicious places. If you want to see Koreans' review you need to access Naver and if you can not speak good Korean...well there is a problem.

So I am here to help out.

                        

 A few days ago I went with my team to a very nice restaurant called IPARI (이파리) that is situated near Hongdae (around 5minutes by car).

    There we had very delicious Korean food and also we have tried out Korean rice wine and I could swear God that so far was the  best makgeolli I have ever tried.

    The restaurant is a bit pricey but if you compare with the quality it is totally worth.
Plus once in a while, you do deserve a good and healthy Korean food, don't you?

    We had a nice Friday evening. We are 4 members and we get along very well.

    While eating we filmed. It was really fun. Kind of mogbang (먹방) experience ㅋㅋㅋ.

    We ordered lots of food.

    The first one was, of course, the drinks: Magkolii. It was so so good. I have no words to describe it...

Then we had bossam (보쌈) which is pork meat eaten with kimchi (김치).

    After we ate the first dish, we ordered raw meat. Yes, you heard it well...RAW meat... Don't get scared.. it is tasty.. tastier that it might sound. It is a very Korean dish... so you should definitely try it out if you want to get to know K-culture. Actually, this food is simple. It is made by good quality raw meat seasoned with various condiments. You have to eat it with raw yolk. It was good. I would try it again for sure.

    After these dishes, we got a very healthy dish made by seafood and vegetables. 

    And at the end, we had fish soup. This really impressed me. very healthy and as Koreans would say 시원하다 that means refreshing.

     After we finished eating we took some pictures and moved to a coffee shop where again we ordered a delicious Korean shaved ice dessert.(빙수)

      It was a great evening. Good, healthy food and nice friends. It is an awesome experience that Korean Food Foundation offered to me.

So thanks to them I will be able to explore Korean food and inform the world. Stay tuned^^~~
