Korean Food
Do you love spicy food? I do! My Dad sort of trained our tongues to eat spicy stuff. It's delightful, well for me.
South Korea is known for kimchi. It is more like a side dish to them and eat it with almost everything. But there's so much more to their food than spicy fermented cabbages. I lived in South Korea for three years and have been visiting since high school. Lemme share with you a few of my favorite Korean dishes. I was not able to eat all my faves during my recent vacation. *sadface*
All of a sudden I forgot the names of some of them. I need to drink memory enhancers. I have no future in food blogging cos the moment the food lands on my table, I devour it. There are many other dishes that I quickly ate without taking photos.

I love Korean food cos it's healthy and not fattening! There's a lot of veggies and most of them are not fried. Have you tried Korean food? Do you like it? Do you have a favorite? Do you know that side dishes are served free and you can ask for refills? Sadly not all restaurants in the Philippines do that. Some even ask extra pay! Anyway, now I'm hungry.

Kagutom~ I shouldn't have read this before dinner.
ReplyDeleteI want to taste real Jajangmyeon. I've only tasted the instant kind, yung nasa grocery, hehe.
IMO, the instant jajangmyeon tastes nothing like the real thing. Let's have a Korean dinner! :)
