Hangul Day 🇰🇷 The very first Korean word I learned was thank you, and today, I want to express my gratitude to the incredible people I’ve met through this journey. From enjoying some of the best authentic Korean cuisine to learning more about the language, culture, and traditions — I’m so thankful for every experience that continues to inspire me. 감사합니다 💜🫰🏻 Got to meet Sarah and her mother. @ahnestkitchen If you don’t know who they are. They are on TikTok. Their family’s story has been inspiration to me especially also having immigrant parents who came to this country for a better life. Perhaps Maybee and Kimchi can be BFFs. 🐶 Fun fact: I was eighteen when I wore that hanbok in the last two photos and my mother said it reminds us of the Korean drama, Sweet 18. If you know the drama, you know. East Meets West. Some of my many favorite Korean restaurants I have visited on the east coast but these two restaurants in particular stood out to me. Definitely would love to try some out on the west coast. Any recommendations for Korean restaurants, please comment below. @seorabol.centercity located in Center City, Philadelphia. @chefchrischo story has been a huge inspiration in my life (The only time I’ll ever go to Philly, those you know you know) and their bibimbap is the best one yet!! My comfort food aside from kimchi sundubu-jjigae. The amount of banchan you get is insane and so delicious!! Thank you 오빠!! 🌆 @seoulbapnyc located in the Flatiron, Manhattan area. NYC will always have a special place in my heart. The aesthetic of this restaurant is very cozy and unique. It felt like I was in Korean drama. You know those bar scenes. Rich baby boy vibes. Their cocktails are incredible and delicious. Seoul Night Highball (pictured here) as well as the pork belly (bossam) so tender 🌃🍎🚖🗽 #낭랑18세 #hangulday #koreanculture #koreanfood #kpopdemonhunters #koreanfoodlover #learnnewthingseveryday #koreanfoodlovers #bibimbap #newyorkcity #eastmeetswest #seoulfood #보쌈 #foodphotography #foodismypassion #lifestyleblogger #nycinfluencer #lifestyleblog #foodismedicine #newyorkbestsellerauthor #learningnewlanguage #koreanfoodie
