Hi Mary. When I’m out of Korea it’s almost always local eating for me. However, I eat Korean all the time here, so when I go out I want something else (at least sometimes!). Although, here in Daejeon, I almost never eat in the western restaurants. For the most part they aren’t very good, and they’re expensive!

Hi Kathy. When I’m in Chiang Mai I’m always on the look out for good Western fare, and there are some good western restaurants in the city. I have never been to Phuket, and should I get there I will remember The Three Brothers.

Hi Jackie. Enjoy your Mexican food while you can! I’m looking forward to seeing the Travel Photo Thursday badge on your website. Happy travels!

Hi Leigh. Actually, Koreans do go for foreign food, but there is a catch. They want it to be Koreanized. Vatos has a burrito that the Koreans love because it contains Kimchi! There’s a Thai restaurant here in Daejeon that Koreans love. To me, it’s the worse Thai food I have ever eaten. Even though the chef is Thai, he cooks the food to suit Korean taste buds.

A hamburger in an Irish Pub in Indonesia, what a combination!!

Hi Marisol. Koreans are very much into communal dining. They even eat out of the same dish. Although the practice of sharing drinks is less common now, when I first came to Korea you’d order water and they’s bring 2 glasses for 6 people! I’ve gotten use to sharing dishes, but not drinks!

Hi Claire. No issue with spicy food here. Korean food is very spicy (or usually just mouth burning hot). I love spice and prefer spicy Mexican or spicy Thai.
