Buzz Korea Trip1: Seoul Tour (Experiencing SSAM/쌈)



With Buzz Korea's Seoul Trip - we were taken to specialized Korean resturant in Insadong to taste Ssam (쌈) which means "wrapped," and refers to a Korean dish in which usually leaf vegetables are used to wrap a piece of meat, rice, soyabean paste and side dishes(반찬). So some of the highlights are ssamjang, topped with raw or cooked garlic, seasoned onion, green peppers and kimchi. This entire combination makes it one of the most loved and delicious foods in Korea.

Various combination of leaves are used but my favourite are lettace (상추) leaves and seasame leaves (깻잎). Ssam is served with many types of vegetables to accompany the grilled meat and it varies with taste depending on who likes what? - the most?


“Real Touch Korea Season 1. Seoul Tour” really made an effort that we physically touch, experience and feel Seoul and Korean culture. This simple idea started off with introducing Korea to bloggers and that idea was fantastic. These bloggers with varied backgrounds, experiences, perspectives and readership - can really buzz about Seoul in their own circles. At the same time, if you blog, FB or twitter you can be part of this exciting trip yourself through Buzz Korea website by just signing in with BUZZ KOREA.COM...

Well, the combination of a Samulnuri, dance class topped with rain...gave ssam an extraorinary taste...roasted meat with fresh, cripsy leaved topped with kimchi and banchan made this meal a little special as we shared it with other friends from Touch Korea Trip!

The entire trip was memorable and will stay with us for a long time to come.
