Re: Foods of the World - Zurich - Shopping Tour Sat 22.10.2011

I haven't found a Korean food shop around the Zurich HB. I'd be curious to hear if anyone knows of any...

Most awesome Koren food I've had was in Sydney at a birthday party with my daughter's friend whose parents were both Korean - we had a fabulous BBQ!

Re: Foods of the World - Zurich - Shopping Tour Sat 22.10.2011

I loved the Korean restaurant in Hornsby, Nth Sydney ( Kwangtung Palace rest. ).

Recently, I was hosted by a Korean man at an East London Minshu who prepared a homemade Korean dinner for me for 3 days - absolutely wonderful. Tis a bit like Chinese but can be spicy ( like a Malay sambal ) as well.

Yes it is! Yumihana not only sells Korean products, it also has Japanese products as well as lovely and freshly prepared Korean dishes.

Re: Foods of the World - Zurich - Shopping Tour Sat 22.10.2011

Is now the time to say I have no idea what Korean food looks/tastes/smells like?

Other than Japanese, Chinese, Indian and 1 time only Thai food (not a nice experience), I have never eaten other asian food...

Ok then, so we shall do the tour and head to the Korean cafe for lunch.

Sounds great!

See you Saturday (and I'll PM you if you've signed up, with my mobile number for emergencies).

Would have loved to have joined you (or sent the other hand, had they been around), but just too complicated.

Have a good shop! Hopefully next time.

Re: Foods of the World - Zurich - Shopping Tour Sat 22.10.2011

Oh this sounds like sooo much fun - wish I was living closer to ZH.

That's probably what I miss the most... This part of Switzerland (Ticino) is beautiful but culinary it just doesn't offer a lot

Have fun!
