cerealjoe | Black pig and other food

As all regions in the world, Jeju has its specialities: oranges/clementines, chocolates and meat from a local black pig.

On the last day I finally tried the black pig meat. As everyone knows, I'm not a connoisseur in terms of meat... it just tasted like pork with all the fatty bits. I liked the veggies and the sauce though.

This brings me to the question of food in Korea. So far, as expected, I've had some trouble finding meals without meat in them that weren't kimchi stew or bean based. I really do look at all the options for the food but I still can't really bring myself to ordering meat dishes often. The lack of tofu dishes is quite a change from China, I suppose it's not a very popular thing around here.

As for pretty much all of Korean culture knowledge, this one is based on kdramas. You always see everyone drinking this thing with a small straw. Anti-climatically this was just a very liquid yogurt type of thing, banana flavoured at that.

I don't even know what flavour these were. It was a mix of bbq, onion, vinegar, etc. But they were tiny and cute and pretty much that kind of made up for the weird taste.

This one is just to show that they weren't discriminating against Daesung/Ri/Tae on the ads.

They were playing the highlights from SK's matches at the WC. It was hilarious that the moment everyone caught on that they were SK matches all the seats before the tellies filled up.

As a side note, what's up with the trend for guys to have huge rocks on their wedding rings? I knew that some SK males were all about being metrosexual but damn!

And as a side side note, I saw one of them Krispy Kreme doughnut places. First time I see one in real life, I've only read about them and their crazy waiting lines in Japan, apparently they're also here.
