Fruit Soju




The next couple entries are going to be catch-ups, but I find them timeless.
So. there is a delicious summer drink I'd like to inform you of: fruit soju. Now, if I haven't mentioned it before, soju is the national drink (liquor) of Korea. It is made from rice (hard to believe there's any rice left, since they eat it like 3 times a day), and it goes for $1 per 12 oz. bottle. It's about 20% alcohol, so that's right folks, you can get drunk for a mere dollar. (one of the many draws of Seoul). So anyway, it tastes sort of like a weak vodka, and therefore can be mixed with just about anything. When Keri was here we went to this place that hollows out the insides of fruit and fills them with the fruit/soju concoction. That night we tried the watermelon, pineapple, and when we went back for Thomas' birthday (a week or so ago), we tried every other flavor: honeydew, orange, and apple. Delicious!
Also, their menu of food was interesting. We ordered a pumpkin that was baked with seafood and cheese inside. It was soooooooooo good!! Here are some pics of the seafood pumpkin, Keri with the pineapple, and Gilles, me and Julie drinking out of our hollowed-out apples and oranges....
