Enjoy the Wonderful World of Korean Food

on show at the Korea stand at the Auckland Food Show

Visit the Korea stand (371-374) at the Auckland Food Show 30 July – 2 August, 2009 and discover the ‘Wonderful World of Korean Food’.  Korea Tourism Organization in association with Korean Air and major Korean food company Ottugi New Zealand Ltd. will join together to promote Korea’s unique cuisine.  Visitors can have the chance to also win two return air tickets from Auckland to Seoul along with other great prizes like Ottugi New Zealand Ltd. food hampers.

Visitors will be able to try samples of Korea’s national dish, Kimchi (fermented pickled cabbage) and watch Korean Air’s master chef prepare the airline’s famous Bibimbap (rice with mixed vegetables and spicy red pepper paste and sesame oil).  Korean Air has won several awards for their service of bibimbap on their worldwide network and many passengers enjoy a taste of Korea even before they arrive in the country.

On the preview day on Friday 30 July from 2-3pm the Korean Air master chef will do a special presentation with four or five selected show visitors to teach them how to make bibimbap.  Prizes will be given for the best prepared bibimbap on the day.  Visitors will be able to try Korean Air’s famous bibimbap several times daily at the show.

Visitors to the show over the weekend can also enter the competition to win two return air tickets from Auckland to Seoul courtesy of Korean Air and Korea Tourism Organization.

Ottugi New Zealand Ltd. will be making japche on their stand and visitors can try this unique noodle dish made with sweet potato noodles. There will also be a fun competition to see who can eat the noodles the fastest with a pair of chopsticks. They will also be giving out free samples of Kimchi for visitors to try Korea’s iconic dish.

Free information on Korea’s cuisine as well as general travel guidebooks and information will be available at the show.  An excellent publication titled ‘The Wonderful World of Korean Food’ with recipes for many Korean dishes will be freely available at the Korea stand.
