Cafeteria Food at a Korean School

It's a long post today! I'm posting pictures of my school lunch from the past week and a half.

I don't need Sam Ryan's Thursday Rib Night since I got my ribs at school today!
 
Thursday, April 4th, 2013 (clockwise from top left dish):
barbecue ribs,
cucumber kimchi (오이부추무침),
Asian pear (친환경배),
mussel seaweed soup (홍합미역국),
and brown rice (발아현미밥)


My favorites were the okonomiyaki and the bean sprout japchae. It was a deliciously spicy version of the japchae I'm normally used to. And it was nice to see a Japanese dish on the menu.

  1. Boy, I wish I could be there to share those meals with you. I ate so much for lunch at church yesterday because the menu was 볼고기, 잡채, 젓갈, 김치, and the cook was a Korean ahjumma. This doesn't come around often in these parts. Add in the delicious factor, and you've got yourself a rare combination.
