I really can't count the number of times I have salivated over Korean food.
I even go as much as checking pictures of Korean cuisine online just to drool. Well, another way of making myself happy😂.
How did this all start?
It was kuku Lee Min Ho's affection for ramyun in Boys Before Flowers. The way he slurped the noodles so frequently literally made me salivate.
I even tried making my noodles the same way (succeeded of course, it wasn't just as long as the typical ramyun😒).
There are so many dishes worthy of mention. Bibimbap, sea weed soup, bulgogi, tangsuyuk, seolleongtang, patbingsu, haemul pajeon,tteokbokki, samgyetang, kimchi jigae, hangover soup, mandu, jangjorim, ssambap, etc. The list is really endless.
Aside the obvious pleasure of Korean foods, the Korean diet can provide many essential nutrients.
My favourite part would still remain the fact that one dish is never eaten alone.
On a particular table, four different dishes can be placed by the sides. This makes for a balanced diet and complete satisfaction.
When I finally get to eat my first Korean dish, it's definitely going to be japchae (stir fried noodles) or jajangmyeon(Black bean noodles) to be tried first.
I am even drooling at the thought😂😂.
Well, what can I say, food is life🤭. Consuming Korean food will definitely be a thing of joy to me.
There are some restaurants and stores presently selling in Nigeria but they are quite pricey for an average Nigerian. I understand it will be more expensive due to the import charges, since not all ingredients are available here.
Rough estimate of a dish’s cost can be from #5,000 - #20,000, which can be fairly used to get a full treat of other local dishes. To have a full Korean meal experience, one has to get at least three or four side dishes.
By the time you calculate the total amount to be spent, tou would almost forgo buying. Besides, the opportunity cost is just your wish, regardless of how high it might be.
Well, that is what I have been telling myself for now 😒.
Surely, that time would come when I can conveniently buy the food and fulfill my long time wish.
What more, I could even get to take it in South Korea😂😋
