Tonight we're going to be trying a new dish here at our favorite restaurant.
It is going to be our last time to eat here because I'm finishing my teaching contract
and going back to Canada soon.
Anyways, we're going to be trying the signature dish of this restaurant and it is called Dtalktoritang
which is spicy chicken vegetable stew.
I've had this before and it is delicious.
We've always come here and had our Dolsot bibimbap and sundubu jjigae because we've
loved it but this actually the signature dish at this restaurant and we're going to be eating
it tonight.
Yummy!
How hungry are you?
I'm hungry yeah!
Hungry!
Yeah!
Let's see your hungry face?
I'm hungry!
My hungry lion face?
Rawr.
Come on - I'm hungry!
Gamsahamnida (thank you in Korean).
There comes the stew.
Here is our hearty chicken stew and it is the perfect winter dish and it has got lots
of pieces of chicken, potatoes, onions, vegetables and it looks really tasty and really filling.
It is bubbly bubbly bubbly.
Let's dig in!
We have a nice piece of chicken breast over here.
I'm loading up myself.
Lots of potatoes and lots of chicken.
This is the perfect dish now that the temperatures have dropped below zero.
It is just so filling and it gets you feeling all warm.
The potatoes are nice and soft and the chicken has been boiling for a while so it is very
tender.
It falls right off the bone.
Yes, it is one of my favorite Korean dishes so far.
I wish I had discovered it sooner.
Too bad.
Tell us your thoughts?
How much are you loving this dish?
I'm loving but I think you're loving it even more.
One of the interesting things about this dish is that there are several different parts
to the chicken here.
There are drumsticks and various parts without bones.
There is some work involved while eating.
This is the bone section.
Dtalkdoritang is what this dish is called and I'll break down the words we used.
Dalktorri - tang means stew.
You can imagine this as chicken stew.
I have a feeling it might be chicken mixed stew or chicken spicy stew.
It also has potatoes and onions and different things in it.
It is steaming as you speak.
This dish comes in a several different sizes.
The one we got here is actually a small.
If you take a look at it it is not small.
That's a lot meat boiling there.
It's a lot of meat and potatoes for two people.
It also comes in medium and large size, so this dish we're ordering here is 19,000 Korean
Won which is 17-18 USD these days.
All of this for that price is really reasonable.
The medium is 24,000 Won and the large is 29,000 Won.
I'm guessing the large could feed an entire family and maybe even an entire extended family.
It is just a lot of food and we're enjoying it.
We polished off the stew.
This is what is left of it and this actually the best part.
The broth got really thick and it is flavorful and saucy.
You like your saucy foods don't you?
What a feast.
What a great way to end my time in Korea.
And I think you have a little sauce on your lips in the corner of your mouth a bit.
No?
