1 rs economist sunsuntribune diversions saturday feb 5 2005 sauces big part of korean cuisine cellphones personalized from page 17 ive been served as many as 10 of these side dishes in small ramekins meant for sharing with everyone at the table sariwon offers seven dishes ranging from very hot to sweet to sour trying to identify the component parts of these side dishes is futile just proceed with caution and try them all most of the dishes are some form of preserved or fresh vegetables or dried seafood and most are quite spicy there are two classic ways to enjoy korean food the first involves the table barbecue perfect for kids or fussy eaters you can order a large platter of your choice of meats andor seafood 29953995 and cook it right at the grill that is built into the centre of the table a variety of dipping sauces are pro vided with most being spicy or vinegar based my dining companions and i opted to go die a la carte route since we had sampled the barbecue previously and i wanted to enjoy the traditional pre pared foods of korea like bibimbob and chapchae dont be concerned about the names sariwon offers a fully bilingual menu although there really doesnt seem to be any rhyme or reason to the placement of the dishes within it the first dish to arrive at our table as a very large portion of chapchae 1995 a delicious slightly sweet stir fry of potato noodles mixed with mushrooms spinach carrot onion and slivers of beef a flavourful dish this was voted the hands down favourite of the evening a close second was the pahjeon 1295 a dense green onion and seafood pancake only slightly smaller than a large pizza if you want to experience the real food of korea you have to order bibim bob 895 this is to koreanwhat the sandwich is to north america if you want a safe dish the spicy chicken would be it tender breaded pieces ofchicken glazed in a sauce that packs just enough heat to keep it interesting eaten for lunch or dinner and again varying from place to place bibimbob is a large bowl of steamed rice topped with beef vegetables and a sunnyside up fried egg the requisite hot sauce comes on the side just stir the whole thing up and dig in most of the dishes at sariwon are markham artist helps restoration project wellknown markham artist judith livingston holds a winter art sale this weekend at the kathleen gormley exceptionally large offering the chance to enjoy a second or third meal at home from the leftovers the spicy chicken 2595 is a good example the portion and price could be cut in half and still happily feed four to six if you want a safe dish the spicy chicken would be it tender breaded pieces ofchicken glazed in a sauce that packs just enough heat to keep it inter esting our last dish was another korean classic called kalbijungsik or as we would know it barbecued beef ribs the meat was very tender and the seasoning delicious but at 1795 some might find it a little expensive for the portion served or maybe we were just jaded by the mammothsized por tions of everything else after the meal is complete a com plementary teacup of an ice cold melonflavoured beverage is served very refreshing we invite you to share your favourite
