This kind of photo makes me fond of Korean food ! I’m french and I love french “cuisine”, the full meal “aperitive-apetizer-main dish-cheese platter-dessert” is my heritage but as long as i can remember i’ve always been attracted by asian food in general.
Vietnamiese, thai, chinese meals are often composed of many dsihes served on the same time and korean meal seems to be the most deversified one.(and it has kimchi in it !!!!) so it tends to be my favorite.
The french meal i described earlier is made on special occasions or when you have invited guests, everyday we use to have the simple main dish, eventually preceded or followed by one of the other dish i named.
Korean meal sounds to me as a special occasion everyday ;)
