This video is for all of our Korean fans.

It's been ages since we've made a video.
Well, after a year of living in Korea you know that you can't keep us too far away from
Korean food, so 'yes' we are in Thailand. We are in Thailand but we are eating Korean
food for dinner tonight.

So the first dish we are having is Gun Mandu which is fried dumplings. This was one of
my favorites back in Korea and this is really tasty. They did an excellent job.
We normally had that at the Chungook Chip. The Chinese restaurants in Korea. Good stuff?
Oh, yeah.
It has been literally months since I've had kimchi. I've been missing this so much. This
particular one is really sour, which I like.
And here we have our Kaeran Jjim, which is sort of like an egg souffle and this is something
we often had in Korea - especially when we were at barbecue places.
So the Kaeranjjim is different from what we've had in Korea. This one is a bit more watered
down and I have to say I do prefer the more authentic taste.
So up next I am trying the kimchi jeon, which is kind of like a Korean pancake and it has
lots of kimchi, so this should be really flavorful.
Good stuff? It is nice and fluffy and you can really taste the kimchi and there is also
One of the big differences of eating Korean food here in Thailand is that the side dishes
are not included. Normally in Korea side dishes are free and if you finish the whole thing
they just keep refilling them for you, but over here we ordered six side dishes and that
was 40 Baht, which is about a dollar and thirty three cents. It was still a bargain but it
is not like Korea where you get it for free.
And if the first serving wasn't enough we've just ordered a second helping of the pan-friend
We had two dishes that we really loved. It was the gunmandu and the kimchjeon but we
actually ended up ordering seconds because both dishes were so tasty; however, with kaeranjjim
it wasn't as great as it is in Korea. I think part of the problem is that they don't use
the stone pot which I think helps it boil better and maybe it just evaporates a bit
in water.
So for the kimch jeon, we ended up spending one hundred Baht, which is just over three
dollars. Same for the gunmandu and the Kaeranjjim came in at 60 Baht which is two dollars. So,
overall it was an affordable meal. Roughly with side dishes and water you're looking
at about ten dollars or roughly 300 Baht. So if you're craving some Korean food and
you find yourself in Chiang Mai, Thailand we highly recommend this little place. It
is called Korea House.
