Food Enjoyed with the 'Inaengchinaeng' Spirit

When it's hot, we cool down with hot soup (Iyeolchihyeol), so in winter, we should manage the cold with cool and cold foods. If you drink beverages with ice in your hands even in the freezing cold winter or welcome winter by taking off your socks rather than wearing Heattech, you will relate to this. That's right. Winter should be colder and cooler. That way, the warmth inside the blanket will feel even cozier. Naengmyeon (Cold Noodles)People who only eat naengmyeon in summer are amateurs; those who eat it in winter are pros! Chewing on the ice cubes floating on top gives a bone-chilling feeling, but it also makes you feel relieved from heaviness. Both bibim naengmyeon (spicy mixed cold noodles) and mul naengmyeon (cold noodles in broth) are good, but pouring mul naengmyeon broth over spicy bibim naengmyeon lets you enjoy both spiciness and mildness at the same time. If it's too cold, you can drink a cup of warm broth and then dive back into the naengmyeon. The reason naengmyeon tastes

Vegan·Protein? The Hearty Drink I Loved

Before leaving work, when hunger suddenly strikes, what decisions do food lovers make? They might take out a convenient snack from the drawer to satisfy their hunger, or endure it for the sweet treat waiting after they get home. They could rush to the break room to pour water into a cup of instant noodles, or dash to a nearby convenience store to pick up a quick meal like a triangular kimbap or sausage. There are many delicious options and a wide range of choices. However, a poor snack or meal can be worse than nothing. Eating a light snack often just gives an excuse to eat dinner again, so in that case, it’s better to replace dinner with a hearty snack. That’s why the chosen option is a filling drink. Whether it’s soy milk, protein drinks, oat milk, or plant-based milk, each has a different name, but they all share the common trait of providing enough satiety to replace dinner without feeling empty. Skipping dinner boldly makes your body feel lighter the next day, and since these drin

A Hearty Meal I Prepared Myself

A warm meal can lift your spirits. There is even a saying that a meal shared with friends or colleagues you like is happiness. In a harsh workday, the only joy is lunchtime. There are many good restaurants near the office, but among them, I have selected a hearty meal. Although it is still November, since year-end party talks are already starting, these are great places to share memories with people you like. Eulji Darae The sight of bubbling vegetables, octopus, tripe, and shrimp somehow calms the heart. The portions are generous, and you can add only what you want, which increases satisfaction. The whole octopus can be cut neatly with scissors when it turns reddish in the boiling water. The tripe and shrimp are also plentiful, so one bowl of rice is quickly finished, and the vegetables are so delicious that your stomach feels even fuller. You can add an extra bowl of rice or have fried rice according to your preference. A pleasant meal is completed when accompanied by a glass of alco

Revealing the Snacks on My Desk (InMyDesk)

As soon as I rush to work and sit down, there’s one thing I do right away. It’s checking today’s snacks. It’s my own little happiness circuit to endure a tiring day. My desk drawer is soon my treasure chest (called that but actually a pantry). It’s full of treats like biscuits given by friends (also known as coworkers) to cheer me up, jellies, candies, chocolates handed over by seniors and juniors passing by. But the top of my desk is different. Although it’s filled with all sorts of miscellaneous items, it’s a space that can’t be filled with edible things. Still, there’s always a snack occupying my desk. Like paying rent, it comes with me when I come to work and always holds a fixed spot. Of course, it changes every day. No snacks, no work, no way!! To boost the joy of working friends, I, who am serious about snacks, have picked out a few treats. I carefully chose them considering health as well... So, let’s cheer up until the end of the workday!10:00 AM Georgia Craft Low-Calorie Latt

A New Flavor of the Snack I Knew

There is a unique routine I follow when shopping at the mart. I first put the ingredients into my shopping cart, then move on to convenient foods like ramen, instant rice, tuna, and Spam. Next, I naturally head to the snack aisle. Normally, I would have filled my cart with my favorite snack bags, but today, the thought of my empty office desk drawer led me to choose boxed snacks instead. While enjoying my snack shopping, something happened that made me doubt my eyes. It was definitely a snack I have known very well since childhood, so why did it look so different? Unable to resist my curiosity, I filled my cart and finished shopping. Aren’t you curious about the different flavor of the snack you know? I’ll satisfy your curiosity right away.

'Taste, Style, Hip' - Reasons for Choosing a Cafe

Among the countless cafes, there are often moments when you wonder, "Which cafe should I go to?" This is because there are many options, such as cafes with delicious coffee and desserts, familiar places, or ones with beautiful interiors. During lunch breaks at work, I tend to visit familiar places or try new ones. When gathering with friends in small groups, I search for trendy cafes near the meeting spot. Occasionally, when I need some time for solitary reflection, I head to a familiar cafe. There are truly many criteria for deciding on a cafe. Today, I will explain in detail the reasons why I frequently visit certain cafes, so you can look forward to it.

Mara is one of the hottest trends heating up South Korea. Not only the basic flavors like Maratang and Marashangguo, but also various menus incorporating mara have been loved and attracted attention from not only the MZ generation but many others. Therefore, curiosity about the Mara Tteokbokki released by Dongdaemun Yeopgi Tteokbokki, which is responsible for the spicy taste of tteokbokki lovers, has also increased. This is the very menu released last July that was hard to order, Dongdaemun Yeopgi Tteokbokki’s Mara Tteokbokki. Due to its hot popularity, it was impossible to taste it immediately because of stock depletion, and it was only after about a month that we could finally try the Mara Tteokbokki. We have brought a vivid and real review of its taste. Seven people with different palates gathered and even prepared cheerful one-line reviews. To compare with the basic Yeopgi Tteokbokki, we ordered Mara Tteokbokki together, and both were prepared with the mild flavor. The mara scent o
