Our first meal on our own, without the assistance of others' recommendations or bank of Korean phrases. We tried to ask the lady what she recommended in Korean but we must have slaughtered the phrase because she didn't understand us. She asked some high schoolers next to us to translate. This is what we were served. We now know that the food in the big bowl is called Dolsot Bi Bim Bop. It's hot rice with a dash of oil, and a frying egg (still cooking in the hot rice) with tons of fresh, raw greens, sprouts, seaweed, kimchi, chili paste and radish served on top and meant to be all mixed thoroughly together. A side of free soup, kimchi and a plate of Dongassu - the Korean version of the Japanese dish Tonkatsu. Tasty, healthy (more or less) and only six dollars!
