Last Friday my friend Tyne had some treats for me and my housemates from her Korea trip. So cute!
For dinner that night I suddenly had a craving for Korean food. Luckily the food court we went to had a Korean stall and I ordered my favorite Korean dish of all time – bibimbap. It’s a dish made of rice, veggies and spicy sauce, but sometimes it also includes meat and egg and is served in a hot bowl, like so:

I learned this the hard way in Korea. My boss and I had ordered these and we ate them the Filipino way, ladling the rice with a bit of the toppings into our mouths. The waitresses kept shooting us worried glances and whispered amongst themselves until finally, they couldn’t stand it and went to our table and mixed our food for us. Oh okay, sorry, we didn’t know we were doing it all wrong! Haha.

Sigh, I really miss some of those moments from my past life but as Ted said in the latest episode (S08E23: “Something Old”) of How I Met Your Mother:

Those chocolate covered sunflower seeds look good.
The Bibimbap and the choc covered sunflower seeds look so yummy 🙂
The dish looks so pretty before it's all mixed together, think I would want to taste each item that way to see what I liked and know what each item tasted like. Chocolate covered sunflower seeds, that's intersting.
I had bibimap for the first time recently. It was so good!
