Luxury Dinner in Jeju

in travel •  7 years ago  (edited)

One of the most amazing moment in tour is having delicious local food, especially in my case.
We tried to discuss what to eat in dinner and concluded to have hairtail fish.

It is not easy to have a fresh hairtail fish on the land, because the hairtail fish die as soon as being caught.

And there are not so many hairtail fish around Korean sea due to the change of climate.
When we were kid, the hairtail fish was one of the main source of protein.
But now, fresh hairtail fish is regarded as the expensive fish.

And as you experienced, we missed the food what we ate in childhood. Mom also agreed with us.

As soon as we got to the restaurant, we ordered the grilled hairtail fish.
A waiter told us it took 20 minutes for preparing food.

They served the side dish first, but the side dish was excellent.

They prepared for the hairtail fish sashimi and the sea vegetables.
We can taste the hairtail fish sashimi only in Jeju island for its freshness.

While tasting sashimi, the grilled hairtail fish was served.
About 2 feet long size of the hairtail fish was set on the table.
The waiter removed the fine bones on the table to eat comfortably.

The taste ?

It was excellent. But I couldn’t feel the same taste as much as when I ate it in my childhood.
Why do I feel the taste in my childhood was much more delicious than today’s ?

The cooking style, ingredients and many other factors may be the responsible for the taste difference.

Also as we age the taste buds seem to need stronger flavors to keep us satisfied e.g more salt or more spice.

hahaha

hahaha. I tend to agree. This is really cool. I have friends that live in Jeju. Cool vacation spot in South Korea!

)

It really looks so yuummmmyyyy

Nothing nicer than the original food .. well done the recipe
Great post from you
Thanks for sharing..

Soup looks tasty also :-)

looking great

This looks like seafood heaven!

Now that looks like my kind of meal. Thank you for posting!!!

Why do I feel the taste in my childhood was much more delicious than today’s ?....a child's taste buds are very fresh and vibrant...as are memories...and the planet is changing...this meal is stunningly intriguing ...have a blessed journey...and thank you again

Your explanation is very reasonable

when i was a kid I always thought my grandpa lost his marbles when he told stories that when he was a kid the Forrest was thicker and greener and that they came back from walks with baskets full of porccini mushrooms and such-now that i am older myself I realize his stories were all true since i also find less mushrooms and feel colors were more vivid when i was a child in nature-where i definitely have proof for myself being a trained chef (also for the last 25 years exclusively trading the markets so not cooking professionally anymore)is in very specific items like tomatoes and cucumbers for example-it is very hard now to find a good tomato-they all look like tomatoes but it is a truly awe inspiring event when i find one that has intense tomato essence taste-so things do change when it comes to such things-I actually wrote a book that can be found for free download here: https://www.allthereisislove.net/freebook about principles like these in case you are curious-and no this is not an effort to get you upvote me or in any other ways solicit you-its just a free book and my intentions are genuine-am sure you must be aporached often with less honorable intentions-as much as i love steemit this seems to be a downfall at times since greed is still a strong motivating force for many-wish you a delightful weekend and thank you very much for your inspiring posts-they are a true delight

Ahhh and why is that Everytime I try to eat new kind of food when I go travel I always forgot to take picture of it? My goshhh, I can only remember after all is done and gone to our stomach, maybe it's because I really am exhausted and hungry and eager to eat what's in front of me! My bad really );

hahaha

Thanks for the laugh hahaha :)

An interesting post, @slowwalker, concerning childhood reminiscences.

The great British poet, Wordsworth, believed childhood perceptions were more pure than adult experience.

I constantly go back and compare and I agree - the tastes of our childhood were much more dramatic - our sensations clearer and more defined.

I recall eating halibut fish as a child - it too was relatively inexpensive then, but now it's very expensive and almost a delicacy here, in Toronto.

Does it taste the same? By no means - it has a distinctly fishy taste, not at all like the halibut of my childhood.

But there's another consideration - we are polluting our oceans - perhaps that is a factor.

Thanks for prompting some pleasant recollections, my friend :)

thank you for your comment

That looks like one fun time out...

such a luxury dinner indeed! 🤤😊

A very special dinner, my friend
Delicious food I like this stuff

갈치회 한번도 못먹어본 1인...
기술적이네요
뼈 발라내는 솜씨가

그렇지요

Wah master @slowwalker .. your dinner is really very luxurious. It's all very tasty food. Moreover, the roasted fish I really like to roast it.

Your post is really making me hungry. I would love to be with you to enjoy such a great dinner.

Thank you very much for sharing our wonderful post.

Hopefully you will always be @slowwalker

Greetings from me @rijalaronaceh.

Wow, This food is very heltful. the cooker is very great cooking. I try to eat new kind of food when I go travel I always forgot to take picture of it.ingredients and many other factors may be the responsible for the taste difference.

I and I had a lot of fun on the tour

I'm a vegetarian but I still have to admit that food looks good.

One of my favorite foods

moment great @slowwalker, reestem guys !!

I am vegetarian but this table is looking delicious. :) why it is the food industry so messed up. Hope that one day i might find a source of animal products that is raised and produced in a ethical way. :) anyway...looks delicious.

Thank you so much

looks amazing and delicious

This looks like a very fancy restaurant. The food looks so delicious, but sad to hear that you didn't get the same experience as in your childhood.

Wow super dinner the fish and the way how its kanty is removed. amazing

The food looks amazing! still on my list to go is Jeju island. Had a friend who visited this island and told how beautiful it is.

wow that looks really delicious. I never heard of that fish before and usually i´m not a big fan of sashimi but would love to try the grilled one. Look so good!

Thank you so much

Wow that fish looks delicious! Nothing better than sea food, mostly when it is prepared the Asian way. Enjoy your meal :)

Yes, it was really delicious

a very good dinner, lots of food that is provided, this is amazing.
enjoy the food @slowwalker.

Because you were hungry always when you were a kid. 어릴때는 항상 배가고파서 뭐든 맛있었던게 아닐까요? 지금은 어른시절보다 맘껏 먹을 수 있어서 맛이 덜하게 느껴지는 것 같아요. :)

제주에 살고 있어서 제주도 사진이 반갑네요!

즐거운 제주 여행 되세요!

감사합니다

님의 제주여행기를 잘 보고 있어요
저도 어릴 적에 먹던 맛이 그리워 찾아가보면
그 때와 다른 맛에 그 맛이 더 그리워 질 때가 있답니다
갈치 구이를 보니 오늘 저녁에 저도 구워봐야겠어요
행복한 하루 보내세요!!!

It is the same thing with me. As a child everything was more beautiful. I always thought that this is normal but now I honestly think that we can see life and enjoy life like in our childhood. We just should have the same peace of mind like when we were young. And this is possible. We are thinking too much about everything. Anyway since I am 30 I notice that my peace of mind is slowly comming back and that is a beautiful feeling. So I think in a few years the hairtail fish will taste more like when you were young. You just need your time to find yourself. Peace bro

Thank you
Peace is the most important even for the taste

the food really nice.......

너무 맛있어 보입니다..
그런데도 어린시절의 맛보다 못하다고 하시니..ㅎㅎ
어린시절에는 그때의 추억의 맛이 고스란히 박혀버린게 아닐까 싶네요 ㅎㅎ
오늘도 잘보고 갑니다 슬로우워커님
저녁도 맛있는거 잘 챙겨드시길 바라겠습니다^^

Hello my dear friend))) Excellent dinner!))) The food in the photos look very appetizing!))) I've never heard of such a fish-tail!))) I hope you had a good rest))) Magnificent story and photos))) Thank you)) I wish you a good day))

Thank you so much

Βeautiful description, presentation, and beautiful photos !!!

와 이런 대단한 스티머분이 계신줄 몰랐네용~ 당장 팔로우하고 있습니다

영어존경스럽습니다 ㅎㅎ
갈치 엄청 기네요 한국들어가면 꼭 살아보고싶은데가 제주도인데 자주자주 봐야겠어용 영광입니다

The food is so delicious to be observed with friends.@slowwalker

because u can eat anything whatever u want.^^

I love how Korean and Japanese food is always like a piece of art...

wow, that is pretty intense meal! I'm not sure the hairtail fish looks appetizing like that lol. I'm used to just looking at fillets. But, I think we may remember things differently as kids. I'm sure it was good.

Everything seems delicious, there is food that as a child I did not taste and now I love it.

Why do I feel the taste in my childhood was much more delicious than today’s?

It is because your mother prepared it with love!

반짝이는 회가 눈에 띄네용!!크~해산물 넘 좋아용^^ 잘보고 가용!!히힣ㅎㅎ좋은 하루보내세용!

Very nice jeju lsland and fish korean love food!!!!!

I would love to taste sashimi, it looks so delicious. All the dishes are amazing, I envy you :)

Everything looks delicious especially fish. Thank you for sharing this especial and delicious food with us.

저는 특히나 hairtail 회가 눈에 들어옵니다. 외국이라 그런지 회가 무척이나 땡기네요 ㅎㅎㅎ 한국에서 먹던 여러 해산물을 맛보고 싶어지네요 ㅎㅎ

Did your mom make it for you in your childhood? Because nothing can compare to a homemade meal. Seems like a hard dish to make, but looks really tasty! sad that the climate is reducing the hairtail fish population....

yummmm !!!!😁

Makanan yang mewah semua orang menyukainya tidak terkecuali anak-anak
Dan berharap agar selalu bisa makan makanan yang mewah

For me eating raw fish is like eating poisonous food.

I think these delicious food

Cuisine style, ingredients and many other reasons for taste differences can be attributed.

That's a big fish!! wide eye face

제주도 은갈치 기가막히죠 ㅎㅎ 은희네국밥에 소주한잔이 그립네요 저는 제주도하면

Everything looks very delicious. It is very pleasant to eat foods that we like and even more when we are very hungry.

Wow
Thank you

Beautiful colors. Want to taste it, amazing photographic work!

Yummy grilled galchi. I like it when cook as stwe - spicy stew with potato. There's a restaurant nearby my workplace called Song Jung in Mactan, Cebu and they serve spicy galchi stew.

조만간 제주에 함 가봐야겠어요. 잘 보았습니다.^^

Its looks delicious in the picture you posted. And about the taste, i think taste bud since your childhood is more sensitive than you are now. Just a rough thoughts btw xD.

I wish I could go back to Korea. The food is delicious.
