Looks and likely smells like the slew of places just down the road here in Okpo.

I had a Mexican GF for almost a decade. She had family and homes in Oaxaca and Baja, and lord, the food in both places was wonderful. I appreciate the offer, but be careful: I'm known to actually follow through on such things...  Don't forget your camo clothing.

Hi lads. Thanks for the comments. OK, in the top pics are shots from a tiny mom and pop Korean joint we found by happenstance. Sundubu chige is the red soupy dish. The noodles and seafood stew is just that. The side dishes are gratis and come with the Korean entrees. Pickled cukes, daikon, eggplant, tofu, onion, kim chi, etc. There's also a scallion pancake and a dish called lajoki, which is a lightly floured chicken fried with assorted veggies in a spicy red chili sauce. There is also broiled and raw squid (Denny, the pic you asked about are ika nigiri [squid sushi] that my wife made for me and my brother from the guys I caught the other day in Nantucket Sound. The last is a Vietnamese pho; 'Xe Lua', with extra tendon. Just outstanding stuff, and we found that place, Pho 88, the other day in a nearby town. A great spot a 25 minute drive away. There have been times where I have been so desperate for a big bowl of pho that I've slogged back into town just to get a fix. Now that we have a place of comparable quality than the place in Boston that I've been going for 20 years, I am a happy, happy chappie. Jcubed, you know where we are. Thanks for the kind comments, gents. Great pics. I recognized some of the Korean dishes from my mum's cooking. Lord I miss Her.

I realize that the reference below is to the link between Chinese and 88, but keep in mind there are plenty of ethnic Chinese that wound up in Vietnam as their adopted country. Just ask Digital Dan... Note the pronunciation of the number 8 is 'fa'. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/88_%28number%29#Cultural_significance Cultural significance In Chinese culture Further information: numbers in Chinese culture Number 88 symbolizes fortune and good luck in Chinese culture, since the word 8 sounds similar to the word Fā (发, which implies 发财, or wealth, in Mandarin or Cantonese). The number 8 is considered to be the luckiest number in Chinese culture, and prices in Chinese supermarkets often contain many 8s. The shape of the Chinese character for 8 (八) implies that a person will have a great, wide future as the character starts narrow and gets wider toward the bottom. The Chinese government has been auctioning auto license plates containing many 8s for tens of thousands of dollars. The 2008 Beijing Olympics opened on 8/8/08 at 8 p.m.[1] 88 is also Nazi skinhead code for "heil hitler".prominent display of it will probably make some new friends for you. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=88

That's nice and thanks for the 'warning', but that particular flavor of vermin doesn't exist in this neck of t'woods. '81' here has some significance, and strong membership in some places, however...
