Escapism

Seoul-ful food!

2 things about Korean food: 1) massive servings of side dishes and 2) SPICY. Good thing I’m a fan of spicy food, so I pretty much enjoyed the sweat and runny nose that came with it. My friends, however, were not able to tolerate some of the dishes, especially the Kimchi soup! Even I had to visit the bathroom a couple of times after that one. Whew.

Another thing: cafes. One can find them basically in every street corner. From commercialized ones, to themed ones, to little hole-in-the-walls, they are just everywhere. They’re great places for dessert and after-meal cup of coffees. We especially enjoyed this little cafe we found in the Samcheong-dong area. My mouth just waters everytime I think of the waffle with ice cream they served there. 

Also worth mentioning is the street food. My favorite is the tteokbokki, which just tastes 100x better from the street vendors in Seoul as compared to the ones I’ve tried in some Korean restaurants here.

Okay, so after reminiscing about all that food, this is me right now:
