Kimchi in the making.

Making kimchi seems like an easy feat. Unfortunately, it is not everyone forte. Just like mine, I tried to make it but always seem like over salty, over spicy and everywhere is in the 'OVER' region. Hahaha. I'm not a good cook, I agree. I'm not shameful to confess on this one of my 'amazing' qualities.

Introducing Gumteo : Grilled fish restaurant


Picture courtesy: ZenKimchi

A considerable chain-restaurant based on its price. Why am I always stressing on food? Hahah..I love food but I'm always curious about Korean food. How does it compare to Malaysian food?

As I browse the web today, I came across this restaurant called Gumteo. I wish I could understand what it means though. Their forte is grilled fish. I love fish!!

The price for standard meal is between 5,000 to 10,000 won- which is between MYR15 to 30. Cheap right? Ok? I hope it will taste good and yummy and tasty.

Arghh..I'm hungry!!
