Korea Life Blog - Oh boy! They're Going to Cook Me! Oink Oink!


Here are some more restaurant signs featuring the "happy" animals served on the menu. I took all of these in Gumjeong. While the concept works in Korea, it would never go over back in the states or any western country for that matter.




A cow and a pig. First, why are they yellow? And second, why do they look so happy? I know! - they're excited about being able to make you happy while you eat them.




Here's a sign for an eel restaurant. There seems to be a lot of these restaurants around. Does that creature on the sign really look appetizing? Does it even look like an eel?




Great, you can eat the 3 little pigs in this restaurant. Are they actually wearing aprons? Are they going to cook themselves?




Those pigs look surprisingly happy to be cooking alive inside that pot. Seems a little peculiar, the design. I think that's a blue Chinese character on the pot, but it looks like the pigs have blue arms and legs and are hugging each other.
