How's your hyeomit?

Here's the Indonesian conversation group, grilling our own food (pork and hyeomit - beef tongue!) on the table. Cool, huh? From left to right: Sabrina, Brent, Joseph, and Mara.


This particular restaurant serves a lot of panchan (side dishes to be eaten with rice - the Korean version of nggado). The panchan include kimchee, k'ongnamul (boiled bean sprouts with sesame oil and soy sauce dressing), jeon (egg pancake), miyeok namul (simmered seaweed with sesame and oil soy sauce dressing), kamja jorim (soy & vinegar simmered potatoes), and more. This is why you shouldn't order too much in a Korean restaurant.


Here I am, preparing to grill a couple of slices of beef tongue, which is on a plate on the right side of the photo. I have some slices on the grill, on the left. For those who wince at the thought of eating beef tongue, it's very tasty - trust me! Joseph ate a slice, and he said, "This is the most ironic thing I've ever eaten - but it's pretty tasty." Enough said. Get some beef tongue. Grill it on your table. You'll thank me later.
