EatnRun Korea Part 1

Taking a trip are usually not complete till you get to experience the food of the locals of the place where you visit . South Korean cuisines are commonly associated with hot spicy food which usually scares people, like me, who doesn't like anything that's too spicy.

Good news! There are a lot of good korean foods that are actually not spicy and are quite appealing to my taste buds ^_^ ( personal opinion ). Come back here on my blog and ill be writing in detail of my experience with the Korean Cuisine.

For now you may look into my fb account where i have kept an album dedicated to foods.:D
