➹ kimbap and bibimbap

Ever since a Korean restaurant opened at our office building, some of my colleagues found that they have a liking for Korean dishes. But they often face some difficulties distinguishing the names of these 2: Bibimbap and Kimbap!

Bibimbap (my favorite!) is a flexible mixed rice dish which can include a range of different vegetables and meat ingredients. You often see kdrama characters dump their side dishes into a metal bowl and mix in red pepper paste gochujang before feasting on an impromptu bibimbap. This taste so good with a bit of sesame oil (yummmmm). Eat with a big Korean spoon for a more authentic feel.


Kimbap on the other hand is a rice roll which may be a little bit similar to the Japanese maki. I love how kimbap is sliced neatly and packed into dosirak boxes for picnics and whatnots. A single roll can make for a delicious and hearty meal. I wish we'll have some more restaurants selling kimbap for take outs soon.
