Seoul - Today will be my 63rd trip to Seoul. Manage to catch 3 movies on the flight over to Seoul. Upon arrival the temperature was 10 degree celcius - very cold. After an hour of Limo Bus ride, I arrived at Grand Hilton Seoul Hotel.
Met with my channel partner Bryan Na and Young Jin, and together went to a seafood famous for a particular type of fish - A-Goo. This is a fiery spicy fish dish cooked over a gas stove, so Bryan asked for the dish to be mildly spicy. When the dish arrives, it was boiling red hot - no visible sign of any fish in the soaked sea of spicy chilli. Wah! one dip into the fish and soup - it was very spicy. We were all panting for water...

Fried Silkworm larva
Also tried one of Korea strangest food - Beondaeggi 번댁기, fried silkworm larva, which are a traditional snack. I was told that this is a Korean favourite snack of when in childhood times but lately has been very expensive. After so many trips to Seoul, this was my first time trying this snack - it was an acquired taste. Having the thought of putting fried silkworm in your mouth would turn many away. But the taste gets better after a few rounds of soju and beers...
