Adventurous foodie? Getting there

Recently my friend Priya invited me out to dinner at her place. She said her and her international friends go out, buy groceries (different theme/cuisine) every time and they come home and cook together.  On this particular night it was Korean night.  Our first stop, Palama market for Korean groceries.  I had never been in a Korean market before - VERY INTERESTING!  I wouldn't be able to tell you what most of the stuff in this first pic is, but at the very top (end) is dried/seasoned codfish and the light and dark grey stuff next to it is dried anchovies. Yes, they bought both of these.



There were 7 in our group.  Priya and her brother who are from Guam, myself (Fijian), Aki who is Japanese, Marco full Italian, Yang who is Chinese and his girlfriend from China as well.  In the pic above, at the very bottom of the pic is Beef Tongue. Yes, tongue. Next to it the bacon looking meat is actually pork belly (VERY DIFF FROM BACON), up on the right is the pork rib (albi?) very very very delish, and next to that is chicken. We also had mushrooms, onions to grill, all the anchovies/codfish/sprouts/etc to enjoy and lettuce to make wraps.

Needless to say everything was super delish and the 7 of us devoured all the food very fast and we were pleased with the results of the hotplate bbq. Very adventurous and delicious dinner indeed. :)
