doljanchi

We celebrated our little one's b-day the traditional Korean way by wearing hanbok and serving Korean food. We also did doljabee where we layed out objects representing different potential occupations and he picked a book first (scholar), and then a football (football player). Instead of a cake, we custom order a huge round rice cake filled with beans, peas, and other sweet stuff. The korean food consisted of kalbi, marinated cucumber, seafood with broccoli, sweet/sour chicken, veggie tempuras, kimchi, rice, tofu, american sandwich platter, cherry pie, rhubarb pie, chapchae etc.
