설날 먹는 거 | What you eat on Lunar's New Year's Day

설날 [Seollal] Lunar's New Year's day. We do have this celebration in Indonesia called "Imlek" means Chinese New Year. In Indonesia there are a lot of Chinese ethnicity that a long time ago came to Indonesia and since then has become part of Indonesia. And here in Korea, it is one of the biggest holiday.
Today, while doing class, my teacher gave us this sweet cake made from rice .... it is called 한과 and she said it is eaten during Seollal.

Also, today I had the opportunity to taste Ttokguk which is a soup that is usually eaten in Lunar's new year's day. People said that if we eat one bowl of ttokguk, you also eat one year of age. So, if you eat 10 bowls of ttokguk, you will earn 10 years which means you will get older by 10 years :)
