Fresh Flower Bibimbap (花饭)!When I was in South Korea, I visited Sangsoo Herb Land (相洙香草世界) . It is the largest herb farm in East Asia. It has 197,700 sq yard of land & more than 550 types of herbs. And what a wonderful experience I have!
We toured its indoor garden and glass house. I was amazed by the amount of herbs & beautiful flowering plants. We get to smell & taste some of them.
Dr Lee Sang Soo and my studentMr Lee Sang Soo, the white-haired CEO of Sangsoo Herb Land gave us an invigorating talk on the usage of herbs in our daily life. A few of us were asked to go on-stage to demonstrate the effects of herbs. We were presented with bottles of mineral water which have been flavoured with herbs.
It was freezing cold outside. Water at a waterfall has frozen into a spectacular sight. There is a very beautiful outdoor garden which has a 1000-yr-old Pine (千年松 ) tree. And a rock that resembles a male organ and every body was taking photos with it. haha....
The P**** Rock! hehehe.....
The crockery used during a Korean meal..... We had lunch at its restaurant. Many VIPs from around the world have been here. We had a beautiful & healthy meal. We had Fresh Flower Bibimbap (花饭)! How cool is that!
Rice mixed with flowers, vegetable and a special sauceAfter visiting Sangsoo Herb Land, I am encouraged to grow my own herb garden. With the many benefits highlighted by Mr Lee Sang Soo, I'm sure I would be able to convince my family & friends to eat their way to a healthy lifestyle!

Unfortunately most Americans including myself are unaware of the health benefits of herbs. We just use them for taste in cooking. We are probably missing out on a health treatment.
ReplyDeleteBack again to vote for you at BotB ECL! GL!
ReplyDeleteHerb Land looks like quite a place, at the table and outside!
ReplyDeleteawake,
ReplyDeleteThe Chinese often use herbs in their cooking, it dates back to thousands of years ago.
It has lots of benefits and dishes cooked with herbs can be quite tasty.
I'll try to post some Chinese herbal concoctions that are nutritious and healthy.

aiya, forget to exchange contacts!
Lovely arrangement of food in a lovely bowl.
ReplyDeleteLoved the rock
ReplyDeleteSounds like a nice trip. That's alot of dishes.
ReplyDeleteNow that looks really yummy! Love the photos!
ReplyDeletehey! Where do you buy your seeds or seedlings to grow your herb garden? Any tips? I've got a new planter in new place and could convert that into some organic planty stuff before my mom puts her ugly ones there. HAha. Opps. Many mommy readers I know trawl here! :P
ReplyDeleteHi, love your pictures. Care to ex links?
ReplyDeleteOk, so I saw the pic of the (ahem) rock and thought it looked awfully phalic. Then I thought "Grandy, shame on you!"
ReplyDeleteWhew...thanks for clarifying that it looked like a (ahem) rock all along. :)
Psst. My ad looks good over there. :D
oceanskies,
ReplyDeleteIf I'm successful with my herb garden, I'll cook a meal for you using my own home-grown herbs. How's that? :)
Jaymes can learn from me. hehe...
the dong,
ReplyDeleteOf course I eat it! I eat worms and bugs too. hehe....
tigerfish,
ReplyDeleteIt's 吃花宴！hehe....
The flower petals no taste wan.
lori,
ReplyDeleteI wasn't standing next to the penis rock, I was posing on top and ..... Not too good to post that photo. For my hubby's eyes only. hahaha.....
farah,
ReplyDeleteYes, the rock is in the outdoor garden.... every visitor wants to take a picture with it. hehe....
giddytigers,
ReplyDeleteYou can plant your own mah. Easy to plant but have to take care of them....
mikeachim.
ReplyDeleteThe crockery shown is considered below standard in Korean homes! I'll show you how much crockery is needed in my later posts. I don't want to marry a Korean man. :P
sho,
ReplyDeleteI get my seeds and herbs from supermarkets' 'Gardening' section and the usual nursery.
For an organic garden, it could get messy and smelly due to the organic fertiliser you have to use.
haha.... hope your Mom doesn't read your comment. :)
grandy,
ReplyDeleteWhoa! hahaha..... I have the same thought as you, mam.
Where do you want to place the ad? On the tip? :P
Can't help smiling at that photo of phallic rock.
ReplyDelete
