Korean Roasted Pork
When my husband came home from his work he immediately informed me that there’s a truck selling roasted pork along the curve, and giving me a hint if I like treating him for something. Of course I know I have too so I dressed up and went down to buy roasted pork for ₩5,000 but when I reached the truck the guy asked me if I want to buy “ocheonon or manon” I told him “ocheonon” but he wants me to buy “manon” as it was bigger than my choice.
Oh well, I decided to buy “manon” ₩10,000 because the latter one is quite small and it is probably not enough for my husband’s appetite. The pork is quite ok but not that great as “lechong baboy” in the Philippines or what we called roasted pig. The sauce is a bit salty and read in color, at first I thought it was spicy but it was not.
Chicken Fillet Pizza from Pizza School
It is the weekend and we are craving for something good, pizza is on my husband’s mind and fried chicken is on mine. But my husband doesn’t want to buy fried chicken because it is a bit expensive and he doesn’t want to eat chicken, so when I went to pizza school I have ordered the pizza he like and I have ordered my chicken, my chicken fillet pizza exactly!
Great choice isn’t it? I am not only going to have a chicken but also a pizza, I have enjoyed it so much with chili sauce toppings and fickles at the side. Yum!
Premium Meal from GS25
Eating the same meal every day is becoming boring so I have asked my husband if we can get an instant soup, he agreed with a plus what I mean to get pizza and chips as well. While at the convenience store I forgot about pizza, I walk repeatedly in the aisle and stay longer in the built-in open fridge where the sandwiches and pizza are. I know it was not sandwiched, without getting a hint what is it I took one of the premium meals at the bottom of the fridge.
The premium meal cost ₩4, 000 or $3.72, it was a bit more expensive than the usual meal of meat, rice and kimchi. The premium meal has rice, pasta, vegetables, steak, chicken, mashed potato, sausage, pickles and corn salad, it is a complete package actually.
Packed Meals from Hansot (한솥)
It was raining hard today and we are bored and hungry so I went to 한솥 near the HBC Chicken, we’ve been wishing to try their meal and this is the right time because it is still early and the restaurant might still open unlike those times we crave it is already wee hours. They have no English menu, but their menu board has image on them so I just point the food I want to order.
I am expecting to wait longer but within five minutes my order was already handed to me, super quick huh? I went to Paris Baguette nearby after I got my order to buy brownies but I ended up buying another baked good as well.
The meal was superb, they tasted good and better than the meal I used to buy in convenience store probably because they are fresh and not refrigerated. Their meals are good for students who are bringing a lunch box at school and even packed meals, picnic, lunch and dinner.
Instant Meal and Free Carbonated Juice
Eating instant meal became our past time these past few days. My husband is craving for energy chocolate and instant meal so I went to the nearby GS25, the meal has free carbonated drinks which is lime and peach.
The meal was quite different from the other meal because it has complete package from salad to meat, mashed potato and chicken, pasta to rice.
Chicken Burger Cravings
After two weeks vacation in Russia we finally came home the other night. Anyway last night my husband requested me to treat him, he is craving for chicken burger and instant meal. So I went to the nearby convenient store to buy the food he likes. It’s a treat so I’ll pay for it, as I don’t know which one is chicken burger I bought the 3 burgers I saw in the food shelf.
Aside from burgers I also bought a meal and energy chocolates he requested too upon seeing them near the counter I am already thinking of going to other convenient store if I didn’t see them. For the last minute I run to the fridge shelf to take chocolate drink, I didn’t buy anything for myself aside from the chocolate drink because I am thinking that I can any of the burger if my husband doesn’t like them or there’s no chicken burger on three of them.
Macaroons Mocha Cake from Paris Baguette
After watching the season finale of The American Baking Competition we agreed to have a cake last weekend, we’ve been watching the tv show since it started and we always end up craving for sweets and pastries. Originally I would like to buy chocolate cake but my husband tired of me always buying chocolate cake requested me to have something new so I choose macaroons mocha cake it was bit expensive because it is larger than the others. When my husband saw the cake his first impression is we already have that, well I have no choice because he doesn’t like chocolate cake and I am pretty sure he will not like white chocolate cake, blueberry yoghurt cake or strawberry yoghurt cake and other fruity cake and I didn’t mention anymore that there’s cheese cake.
Well I am the first one who eat the cake, to enjoy it I also prepare a cup of coffee while watching a local show. The cake was good and the mocha taste was great, love the macaroons as well.
After hours I felt hungry again but I doesn’t like eating cake again because too much sugar already so I ate the left over Bulgogi pizza we had on Friday. Within just few minutes I had a terrible headache with nausea and I ended up throwing out the food I have eaten. I first believed that my food intolerance strike again, I experience this when I eat food which is not freshly cook or meat that is not fresh.
Bulgogi and Super Combination Pizza
Eating comfort food on the weekend is our routine after a long week work-out in the gym. This week we tried something new because we’ve been eating fried chicken from BHC a month already. We had 59 pizza this week, bulgogi and super combination pizza to be exact, when I ordered the girl didn’t know that I am going to order two pizza so she charged me for one order only so I have to do sign language.
My husband loves pizza so much that he can eat one large pizza in just one sitting so one pizza is not really enough for the two of us.

Cheese Sticks and Korean Pepper Street Food
The other day my husband craves for the cheese stick I bought from the canteen in the corner so he asked me to buy few and pepper twigim as well. When I went there it was a little busy it seems most of the Korean felt cold from the rain and decided to have street food to feel warm. I waited for my turn, when I ordered I just point the food I want and used hand sign for how many do I want to order.
I bought ten sticks of cheese sticks, I think is merely for a kid but we’d like it than the factory cheese sticks in the supermarket, they taste better and cheesy as well.
My husband asked me to buy five pieces gochu (pepper) twigim but I bought ten pieces, the other five is for me. Hehe,
