this is a true story.
one day, i noticed this sentence, "last weekend, i went out and had a rasberry sundae with banana cream ice cream" while reading my junior high english text book.
i was probably 14 years old. i thought to myself, "wow, american people love sundae too!!!!...but why on earth would they make it with rasberry???" |
You think ice cream sundae would go over well?

yache bibim mandu (I've only found one restaurant that has this genius combination)
bibim naengmyeon (the kind that's not all soupy)
dwenjang jjigae
sundubu ramyeon (it might be just dubu ramyeon; I can't remember right now)
mul mil (well, it's really Japanese food, but you can find it in lots of restaurants here)
...and for dessert: ho ddeok
Unfortunately, like most new arrivals, I ate way too much bibimbap my first month here and I don't have a taste for it anymore. |

my mum always told me that american people eat weird stuff, so i just assumed that she was right about one thing at least. |

I had one of those deep fried sweet bean paste balls for the first time. Man those are really good.
One of my co-workers gave one to me, probably cause she always sees me chomping on something from Crown Bakery.
It's basically one of those white oval, baseball sized, steamed breads, filled with sweet bean paste. Except it's not steamed, it's deep fried. It's chewy, but not to chewy, just enough resistance to let you enjoy every bite. And it's sweetness is perfect. |

Man they taste good! It is called "ChapSsal Doughnut"(���Ҷ�). They put some glutinous rice in the dough which makes it more chewy. |

This is just wrong. |
I agree. |
Kimbap is a Korean junk food. Or is it a Japanese one?
But triangle kimbap! That's well tasty! |

Perhaps White Shadow is referring to hopang (except for the deep-fried aspect) - white steamed bread surrounding bean filling. Like the Japanese "an-man" or the Hawaiian "manapua."
���Ҷ�(Chap ssar ddeok) often is filled with bean paste too but I had some this morning with a tan mealy stuffing with nuts in it - a bit (but not excessively) sweet and very tasty..... |

I was thinking the same thing. Jjim seems to be highly underrrated here. Do you guys really eat bibimbap and galbi every day? |
