Jaja and I had some free time to visit Kim at her house. We love Kim because we all have a love for Korean food. She made my ultimate favorite dish ojigobokum (spicy squid).
One of my closest friends since grade school was Korean as well and I would eat at her house pretty much daily. I became addicted to Pa Jun (Scallion pancake) with the spicy sauce on the side. It was then I became a fan of the cuisine. Even as I lived in SF, I would trek down to Noriega street and go into the many Korean grocery stores and buy me my weekly fix of condiments like kim chi - both cabbage, dongchimi (white radish) and oi sobaeogi (cucumber) and odeng bokkum (fish cake)...to go. Since I didn't have too much time to cook fancy meals during work days, I would pair this with packaged Korean noodles like jajangmyeon or champong. Oh Joy....lovely just thinking about it!
Kim, you rock! You truly are the Princess of Korean culinary for me here in Manila :-)! Kamsamida!
Watch out for posts on Kim's favorite Korean restaurants in Manila. She truly knows her stuff.
