Korean Food : Kimchi

Kimchi is already famous for the symbol of Korean food. Even it is not only a symbol of Korea food, but it is the symbol of Korea herself! Korean eat Kimchi almost every meal. Even when you go to nice and expensive french restaurant, still you can order some Kimchi. You can order Kimchi at Outback stakehouse. Because Korean customer usually ask for it.

Kimchi is the representative name of Korean style vegetable salad. That is something like cheese. French has more than 100 kinds of cheese, but they call them just cheese.

Although there are more than 100 kinds of Kimchi, you can expect the "Baechu Kimchi" at the ordinary restaurantt. (The picture above). The main ingridient is asian cabbage, hot pepper, green onion. And maybe some leek, carrot, radish, pear and etc.

Taste is usually spicy, sour, and strong. But don't panic too much if you can't eat. You do not have to order one bowl of Kimchi. It is not like "One ceaser's salad for $5". Whatever you order, you will have a small plate of Kimchi. You can ask for more, for free.
