Korean food WOW!

Loren and I just ate the most wonderful, ginormous meal we've ever had, EVER! It was so monumental, I think I would like to share it with you.
Here it is, broken down into the courses we were served:

1st course:
rice/seafood porridge
salad- iceberg and sweet dressing
sashimi (frozen tuna) on salad
sampler platter with figs, egg rolls, egg cake, sweet bread balls, fish cake
seaweed/sea algae salad with honey mustard dressing
fresh shrimp in shell, slices of octopus, squid, de-shelled shrimp

2nd course:
Sashimi platter-flat fish (looked like a flounder?) some de-shelled shrimp, served Korean style with wasabi, pepper sauce, raw garlic, and a red bean paste wrapped in either butter lettuce, romain lettuce or mint leaf. Also on the side were sweet green peppers that could be dipped in the sweet bean paste.

3rd course:
Iced platter of sea cucumber (sea penis) sea ginseng (sea pineapple), abalone, salmon, squid, shell fish, shellfish intestines.

4th course:
3 whole roe stuffed mackerel,
1 whole fish,
corn/mayo/cheese salad,
boiled out of shell salty egg dish,
shrimp cut in half and baked,
seaweed soup

5th course:
battered/fried fish fillet with sweet chili sauce, sesame seeds and onions on top

6th course:
Tempura shrimp and sweet potato

7th course:
sweet sushi

8th course:
we declined the soup at the end where they take all the pieces of fish we didn’t eat, (head, fins, bones etc.) and cook it up.

Drinks:
2 bottles of Korean sweet wine, and baeksoju, a sweet soju.
