What is your name and where do you live?
Hi, my name Ajeng Pramono, currently I’m  living in Tokyo, Japan.

Tell me about the first time you ever tasted Korean food. Where were you, and what did you eat?
I was lucky enough to taste Korean food for the first time in Seoul, Korea, early March 2009.
It was in a small bistro near to youth hostel I was staying around Han River. I dont know the name of the food. I remember, it was tofu in hotpot, perfect dish for winter time, and it was super delicious…and what striking me the most was the banchan, I got looooots of them. I only order this one dish, but the owner give me around 5-6 banchan, and she would refill it too when I asked for it.

How often do you cook Korean food following my recipes?
One recipe a week, mostly, but if I succeed with that one recipe, I make it over and over again until I get bored with it.

What are your favorite Korean dishes? Choose 3, please!
Bibimbap!
Toppoki
Galbitang

What’s your best Korean dish, the one that everybody compliments you on when you make it?
