Korean Food

Korean Food is amazing with its diversity. But that diversity
probably stems from historical famines and Korea landscape.
Korean is like small lowlands between lots of mountains.
So there is not enough place for agriculture for a big population.

Historical droughts lead to scarcity in food. Once a Korean told me
it was not even possible to feed cow or pig ,because they do not have enough food
for them also.
So probably(I wish I could read and investigate much on this topic) they had to try
everything they can. (Worm,dog, whatever Western people laugh)

They made pickles of everything and they are perfect. Especially I love ones
with sesame leaf(perilla). I ate different versions of it. I do not know names,
because it is very hard to memorize anything in Korean. But taste is unforgettable.

Every year I go to Busan for a reason coincidentally(Long story).
Once I discovered a restaurant in Busan. I just want to write it in internet
so that google crawler finds it in searches like below.

Best restaurant in Korea

I do not go to 3 star Michelin ones or real luxury ones, but this place seems so elegant
to me. Price is about 10$-30$. Side dishes are unbelievably perfect. It is in Lotte at near Nampo station.
