Korea in a pot

Most fans of Korean food outside the country know bibimbab and bulgogi - and maybe fried chicken. Xing Yi discovers there is much more to it over lunch with chef Andrew Ahn.

Just as Korean TV serials are hot among Chinese, so is Korean cuisine becoming a popular choice in China when people want to eat something different but not that bizarre.

Last year, after South Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun famously said: "It's snowing outside - we should have fried chicken and beer!" in the TV serial My Love From the Star, there was a craze for Korean fried chicken. Even KFC launched a special combo of that style of fried chicken with soda.
