The first Korean food I have was Ginseng Chicken soup served to tourists. Of course there were others in the menu but it did not blew me off my seat. It was in Three Hills, Alberta, Canada that I got acquainted with a simple Korean cold dish.

I visited a friend. He took me to visit his Korean friend as part of my 3 weeks Canadian itinerary. We drove east from Vancouver then cross the Rockies stopping by many scenic spots. Most memorable were Banff and Lake Louise. We stayed in motels and essentially passing through 'Scottish' territory. We sipped coffee at Starbucks. For food on the road we have purchased 2 doz sodas and a huge tray of doughnuts that would last us through the 3 days of driving.

Over there I stayed with my new found friend. Asian manners required him to share what he has with me. Luck was with me as his parents just popped in a day or two ago. At dinner time he took out a vege dish from his mother out of the fridge. It was blanched seasoned spinach with garlic, soy sauce, sesame oil and seeds all mixed into an appetizing dish. It was obvious that the bright sheen on the spinach leaves and stems was oil and a lot of it was needed for it to taste good. The hollow stem seems to suck up the sauce and the oil making it so delightful.

Lately, I get to know Korean food better after 4 visits to Daorae in Bandar Puteri, Puchong. Self control is important as their beef are super costly!
