Another trip to downtown, this time with Ewa, Mary and Alex.
But today we splitted because some of us wanted to see what plethora of exciting places Daegu has in offer and some of us just wanted to go shopping.
So after leaving girls me and Alex went to Daegu's herbal medicine market. It was ofc too late to see the whole thing happening. But we managed to chatch a glimpse of the remainings of the market. People there were selling a variety of herbs, dried fishes, spieces etc. We even had an opportunity to try a dried mussel. Well...it tasted like a dried mussel, really nothing special about it. Btw that day we also tried a Shrimpburger, takoyaki (octopus balls) and I saw a place where they sell Japanese crepes (I have been obsessed about them since I saw that one movie on YouTube). I should definately try them one day.
But the thing I liked the most was plastic food on restaurant's display. I heard about it before (Japanese obsession thing), but I have never seen it. Ingenious but kinda strange, isn't it?
And at the end of the day we've found a cosy looking local place. We've ordered shabu shabu (しゃぶしゃぶ), which is kind of Japanese hot pot. I have never try a hot pot befor and I eager to eat it very much. The idea of this dish is very simple - you get sliced meat or seafood and vegetables, noodles and dipping sauces. The dish is prepared by adding meat and vegetables into pot of boiling broth. Once everything has been eaten you put rice with egg to a hot pot and mix them together - it's eaten last.
It was a pleasant culmination of the shop struggle we've gone through.
Enjoy your non-plastic food.

OK now you've made me hungry - -'
ReplyDeleteI look at all this food and I'm like: "ok, I want some"
I really wish I could pay you a visit :/ if only plane tickets were cheaper :/
btw what's the deal with all this plastic stuff?
I mean: why make plastic food?
<3
I don't blame you. Shabu shabu was actually really good :) I still envy myself.
ReplyDeleteI think that plastic food is just a decoration. So you, as a customer, could see how the real food may look like. They truly care about us.
I'm lovin' it. :)
