Korea Remembered (Madrigl)
by Miles H. Rost
Nambu Market in Jeonju was one of a few placed I loved to go.
The shops, the smells of the food, the atmosphere; All of it was intoxicating.
The blood sausage restaurant, serving up sundae, was lined up down the lane. I passed them all by. No twenty minute wait for me.
The kalguksu shop I went to had soft asia-jazz playing, and was a great place for someone like me.
The server put some water on my table, and asked me for my order.
“Mandu Kalguksu wa cola hanpyeong gajuseyo.” *
She smiled as she went to make my order.
*- “Knife-cut noodle soup with dumplings, and 1 glass of cola, please.”
Great atmospheric piece. The order sounds very tasty and the music video is also quite lovely. Thank you for sharing!
Wonderful description work. Glad the server knew what you ordered. All I got was the cola! Well done.
That sounds like a great place to visit. And a place tourists will never find.
Does sound like good memories. I do enjoy Korean cuisine, though rarely get a chance to eat authentic Korean.
Interesting, authentic details. Nice!
And, of course, a side of kimchi. I know it’s a bit of a cheat, but I do enjoy a coke with different Asian cuisine. I loved this!! =)
Good story of a MC with an open mind and a discerning palate.
You’ve renewed a long-standing desire to see Korea!
