Angie took me to my first Kalbi (I think that is spelled right) restaurant. It is a place where they grill the meat right at your table.


You wrap the beef or pork in a lettuce leaf. Some people have been known to call it "beef in leaf", but not I.


Here is the meat grilling on at the table... yum!


A nut candy... very, very sticky




A chest inlayed with mother of pearl... I don't remember how much it cost, but it was expensive!!!!
