Dal
Seoul(Jongno-gu) , Insadong・Jongnon

The menu is divided into vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. The house specialty, called Papa Nams, is a salty cornbread that is eaten by dipping it in yogurt sauce. The most popular menu item is the Tandoori and Curry, prepared using various fragrant ingredients to create a marinade for the chicken, then cooked in Tandoor. Various herbs and mint that have been cooked into the chicken do not emit an overly powerful smell. Though Indian food has a particular smell, the spicy and tender tastes easily overcome any uncertainties. The Nan is prepared in a fire oven as soon as you order your food, while a surprising wine list awaits your selection. The Indian yogurt drink, Lassi, is also worth a try. The restaurant is perfect for an elegant business meeting.

Ganggyeong Traditional Salted Fish Market
Chungcheongnam-do(Nonsan-si)

The Ganggyeong Traditional Salted Fish Market is one of the largest markets of its kind in Korea. Shop owners in Ganggyeong are renowned for making undeniably great-tasting products and are skilled at distinguishing the good ones from the bad. Hence, the best salted fish products are known to be from Ganggyeong. The Yeomcheon-ri province of Ganggyeong is where merchants distribute enormous supplies of salted fish, such as salted shrimps and yellow corvinas, to the rest of the nation. The trade of salted shrimps from these regions makes up half the entire salted shrimp market in Korea. The Traditional Salted Fish Market becomes crowded from mid-June to the end of November, just before the Kimjang season (season for preparing kimchi for the winter). During this busy season, the market bustles with wholesalers, shop owners, and housewives in search of delicious salted fish. From early August to early December as many as 250 drums of salted fish are sold. Also, the Ganggyeong Traditional Salted Fish Festival which is held every year, is well worth a visit.
