Korean Traditional Eat - Jumok Bap 주먹밥

My all time favorite Korean tradition eat is the Jumok Bap 주먹밥 which is a rice ball with different kinds of fillings depending on the restaurant and what you order. My all time favorite is tuna and anchovies which I just can't get enough of! This rice ball is topped with either sesame or dried seaweed and maybe a touch of other delicious ingredients. The best part about this fun eat is that is is extremely cheap, usually just a measly $1 will provide you with a pretty filling rice ball (or two) depending on the location. It is definitely on the top of my list for best eats in Korea!

Korean Traditional Eat - Galbi Jjim 갈비찜

This delicious beef stew consists of extremely soft and delicate beef short ribs that glides off of the bones. It is one of my favorite traditional Korean eats for its extremely soft texture and perfect mix of meat and vegetables, a great home cooked meal. Boiled up with clear noodles and a handful of vegetables, this stew can be made in a variety levels of spice which includes none to very spicy. It is a perfect dinner to have when the weather is chilly which is currently starting to take a turn.

My ultimate favorite galbi jjim restaurant is Masizzim (마시찜) in Gangnam, the center of Seoul. This restaurant has the cutest interior design, but I am a big fan of the more modern take of Korean food. They allow for you to "make" your own rice balls which is a literal translation of fist balls. It is a way to have some fun with your food and make it just the way you like!

Sweet Tooth Satisfaction - Sweet Soup

This peculiar Chinese dessert to some is a soup which is usually consumed after dinner. Served both hot and cold, it is a sweet tooth satisfaction on my boat! With a variety of choices which include the most popular of mung bean, red bean, tapioca, tofu, and a handful of others, it is a must try for all. When visiting Hong Kong, I actually had sweet soup every night. 

This extremely cheap eat can be found almost everywhere in Hong Kong. The best part about it is the convenience of this sweet soup which can be found out in the streets. My absolute street food yum is the tapioca soup which is boiled in coconut milk, usually consumed cold or on the cooler side. My ultimate favorite hot sweet soup is the rice balls filled with sesame or peanut paste. The texture is like mochi balls, but it may be too strong of a taste for some because it is boiled in a ginger soup. Nonetheless, sweet soups are a different kind of dessert, but absolutely tasty!
