intro
So, I guess a bit of an intro is in order: I love to eat. I mean, I love a good med-rare steak to delicate tastes that dance around my tongue. A lot of my friends love the places I suggest and the new places I take them to. Most of that is in part of me exploring places on my own, others are from places i find interesting off other food blogs.
This blog will be mostly for my food review and maybe occasional rants. So please bear with me.
Why the name Polar and title of Polarization? One of my nicknames was Polar bear. I could do the coca-cola polar bear sounds pretty well. Plus I'm a big guy for being Asian (6'-3", 275 lbs). Polarization used to be the title of my old blog that was lost in the shuffle a few years back. In a way, I am resurrecting it and getting back into blogging.
I was born in Korea, moved to the US when I was 9 years old. So I am VERY familiar with all the different Korean dishes and specialty places. Yes, not all Korean restaurants are not BBQ or tofu. Those I hope to cover in the near future. Also, some of the pronunciations will be used as close to the phonetically sounds of my native tongue. I will try to also put in the "popular" spellings or pronunciations, but I will ask that you do no correct my own spelling. Besides, I do not know who came up with them in the first place. One classic example is Banchan (panchan). Yes, you have heard "panchan" before, but the correct pronunciation is with a "B" sound. The description of banchan from Wikipedia is pretty accurate, with the exception of "meant to be finished at every meal." I do not know of 1 korean family that finishes their banchan in 1 meal sitting. (see what i mean by rant? lol) Perhaps they were referring to the small 'tranfer' dishes. But most Korean homes do not use them. Usually the dishes are shared and the remaining is stored away for the next day. It's a Korean thing, I know.. I can hear your 'ewww's.
My tastes will range from Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, Indian, Persian, Philipino, Mexican, Italian, and of course, Californian/American. I do try new things and what not. If I do not like a certain kind of food, it is because I already tried it, and not because of what is in it. Geographically, I will be focusing closer to orange county and sometimes Los Angeles.
I guess that pretty much covers most of what an intro should cover ^^;; /rantoff
