Tae Gu Tang "Cod Fish Soup" @ Ki Hwa Jip Restaurant, Haeundae, Korea

We arrived at Gim Hae airport, Busan around 8:20am.Temperature about 12 °C. Cool and refreshing. After checked in our luggage at our accommodation in Haeundae Beach. The person in charge brought us for lunch at one of the popular restaurant for cod fish soup, in Korea they called Tae Gu Tang at Ki Hwa Jip Restaurant. The restaurant located at the hill of haeundae and you can see clearly the sea and haeundae beach. 

Hot Bowl of Tae Gu Tang
Tae Gu Tang is Cod fish stew with assortments of vegetables and bean curd in spicy broth. The fish soup boiled with red chilli pepper paste “kochujang”, red chilli pepper flakes “kochukaru” and various vegetables. I got a piece of codfish head and mix with other ingredients such as watercress, onion, white radish, chillies, garlic, bean curd and many more to absorbed the kochujang which is base flavor of this dish. You can add more kochujang to meet you own spicy taste. This soup really tasted great. The fish totally fresh because Korean always prefer fresh and live fish for their food otherwise it won’t taste delicious. 

Banchan
They served several cheop of banchan. It refers to small dishes of food and is served in small portions, meant to be finished at each meal. It will replenish during the meal if it not enough. Delightfully fresh and tasty. Truly Korean.

Most Wanted Kimchi
Kimchi is fermented vegetables, usually baechu ( Napa Cabbage ), seasoned with Chilli peppers and salt. This is the essential banchan of standard Korean meal. Some Korean do not consider a meal complete without Kimchi.
