Korean Food in Taiwan

I’ve heard that Korean dramas are very interesting since long time ago, but didn’t have many opportunities to watch it. After arriving in Taiwan I turned on TV and found at least 5 Korean channels. Korean dramas are really well made! The stories are so good and with the intensive path I just can’t stop myself from watching them. At first I watched “the Golden Era of Daughter-in-Laws” and now I watch “the King and I” everyday. Two weeks ago when the queen was sentenced to death I kept tearing up all night long. Last week while visiting Yilan with a group of journalists, I asked my roommate “can I watch the Korean drama at ten?” She nicely switched the channel from the Olympic game to “the King and I”, and we watched it together.

I sometimes went to Korean restaurants with Mr. J in Montreal. Yesterday my friend, Thomas, brought me to a Korean restaurant in the neighbourhood of the Taiwan Normal University. Honestly I think the food is better in Montreal (especially the one on Sherbrooke close to NDG), but to enjoy Korean food in Taiwan is fun, too. I heard people talking in Korean loud, and many Taiwanese couples visited it together. Thomas told me the owner is one of his old friends, who is a Korean guy coming to Taiwan decades ago. He opened a small restaurant in this students’ area, and then it got more and more popular so he opened the new one recently.
