Restaurants Cont. "Jun"

I think that "Jun" translates as "Fried". But this is not anything like greasy fried food we might be familiar with. Korean Jun is egg fried vegetables and seafood, and has become a definite favourite of ours (so all visitors prepare yourselves). Ok let me try to label some of the above; at 12 o'clock we have mushrooms, 1 o'clock: oysters, 2 o'clock: peppers, 3: fish, 5:tofu, 7: stuffed sesame leaves, 10: more oysters, centre: kimchi, green disks above kimchi: pumpkin. All of which is very nice.

Seafood Jun

Now some Korean foods have accompanying drinks: Jun has makoli.

Makoli is alcoholic, and is also quite hard to describe in an appetising way, as it is quite thin and milky. But it is quite nice, and there are a lot of different flavours; chestnut, blackberry, apple e.t.c.
