I’m thinking to post more  Korean foods in my blog as I’m leaving this place very soon.  I reckon i might miss those foods very very much. T_T”…

One of my favorite Korean foods is Samgyetang [삼계탕] – (蔘鷄湯) which literally means “Ginseng Chicken Soup“. OMG! drooling now~~~


The main ingredients of Samgyeatang are whole young chicken and Korean ginseng. Sounds healthy food right ?? Yup, It is traditionally served in the summer which provides nutrients as you excessive sweating in hot summers in Korea. Particularly, most Koreans will take this food in 3 specific days in summer: “Chobok [초복] (初伏),” “Jungbok [중복] (中伏),” and “Malbok [말복](末伏),” which Koreans believe to be the hottest and most sultry of the year. [more info]

Btw, I just had Samgyetang few days ago. Yummy~~~~~~

After several months of surveying on DSLR (Digital Single-Lens Reflex) cameras, asking friends’ opinions, saving $$$ and so on, finally i have made the decision- NIKON D90.  Indeed, it was Not an easy decision as there are so many brands and you are buying the whole DSLR system. oh yahh..HUGE investment$$$$$ too~~~ Once you have chosen a brand, you are hardly to jump off the boat to other brand. You would probably need to sell off all your accessories and lenses.    -_-|||

Today (09/06/2009 2.30pm Korean Time):  The Arrival of D90…..can’t wait to touch it       (⊙o⊙)
