At the Risk of.....

[Scanker19]

Sounding like a racist, Why are Chinese restaurants always the biggest assholes around.

Anything is your fault. If anywhere else messes up your order, they fix it and usually make it better, i.e. comp your meal and give you a free one.

Like if you order a big mac and you get a dog turd they will refund and give you like 6 big macs. Chinese restaurants will just go "you should not order dog shit!"

And i get that its their business they can run it how they want, but its always chinese.

And it all of them too, I always feel like I'm about to be caned when I go to one.

mmmmm.... General Tso's chicken.......

[Scanker19]

nothing, they just always have that attitude about them. Reviews, little quips on the menus and what not they always seem so uptight.

Dont eat at dog and cat meat establishments?

[Scanker19]

I usually skip the dog and go for the Robster.

Just sayin. Of course, after a year in Korea - eating on the local market often and willing to "try new thinks" at many restaurants while in the company of Korean nationals, I can honestly say that I know what dog tastes like. Now cat, well, that's still a mystery. Perhaps I've consumed some and just don't know it, but I'll remain blissfully ignorant of that fact (hopefully until I die).

Hey Ginsue, I'm heading to Korea in two weeks for a planning conference. Anything I should or shouldn't do or try?

A couple of tips from my time in Korea ...

1. Fermented is a nice way of saying "spoiled". I can't do it.
2. The toasted bugs do not tasted just like nuts.
3. A "sexy bar" is not what you think.
4. Korean BBQ is pretty darn good, but it might have just been the liquor.
5. Nothing says garnish like a 3" pink octopus floating in your soup

My culinary recommendation (and the reason I didn't starve):

I think Seoul has one of the most restaurants per capita/population. They got everything. Here's WSJ.com link.


Seoul Becomes a Foodie Destination - WSJ.com

By HELEN SEUNGHEE YOON

SEOUL—For many years, dining in Seoul was distinguished mainly by mom-and-pop restaurants and a late-hours dining called pojang-macha in outdoor tents—all serving cheap Korean food.

But over the past few years, Seoul has quietly become a city for foodies. Just this spring, Zagat's, the U.S. publisher of survey-based dining guides, produced its first Seoul edition. The variety and sophistication of restaurants has exploded; foodies seeking Spanish tapas, Uzbeki shurpa and even New York-deli style pastrami sandwiches can now find them here. And Korean dishes are being revamped to mirror the broader upgrading.

So while gourmands from outside Asia are still more likely to stop in Tokyo, Hong Kong or Beijing than Seoul, a visitor who hasn't seen the city for a while will be stunned by the options, cuisines and quality that it now has to offer.......
