Kimbap Shop.

There's a tiny little restaurant right underneath my school that we eat at almost every day for lunch.  It's called a Kimbap Shop. 

Kimbap is my new favorite lunchtime snack.  It's very similar to sushi, but the roll is much bigger.  And it's only $2.50.  Major bonus.  My favorite so far is chamchi (tuna).





The other thing we get a lot is kimchi jjigae ("chi-gue").  It's just kimchi soup with tofu, and it might look disgusting, but it's quite delightful.



And finally we have dolsot bibimbap.  Basically a bunch of random fixings mixed together in a large steaming bowl with a raw egg on top.  I know this probably sounds strange as well, but once it's all mixed together it's a great meal.


The best part about any meal in Korea is the overabundance of side dishes that are served.  I don't know what half of them are, but it sure is awesome to have something to munch on while you wait for your food.
