To celebrate the end of exams and as a leaving do for one of my classmates who is going back to France during the winter holiday, this evening I headed to Wudaokou with some French friends for a “Korean Barbecue”. This was my first time and it was quite an experience!
You basically kneel around a large table on cushions and in the middle of the table there is a barbecue. The waiters place red hot coals on a rack within the barbecue and then you can slot in all sorts of kebabs which turn on electric spits. You can also roast potatoes, garlic and onions on two hotplates on the side. Apart from the kebabs, we stuffed ourselves on “泡菜” (cold pickled veg and salad-like dishes), soup and rice. A lovely meal and a good crowd of people. Nice to try something different for a change.
