Top 5 Korean food best liked by non-Koreans

These days, Korean food is liked by different nationalities.

And in this article, I plan to introduce to you the top five Korean food liked by Non-Koreans.

1. Bibimbap

This is a food which mixes rice with vegetable and egg and meat altogether in one bowl. This dish proudly ranks number 1. The reason behind is because non-Koreans are not used to mixing rice and meat and vegetables together and they find the food very interesting.

2. Samgyetang

Samgyetang is made of chicken and all the healthy materials. Healthy food such as jinseng and jujube is placed inside the chicken and that chicken is cooked as a soup. The hotness and unique taste seem to attract foreigners.

 3. Beef stew

The Korean beef stew is easily found in restaurants in the Philippines too. That much, beef stew is loved by other nationalities. The reason behind could be the sweet taste which suites non-Koreans.

 4. Kimbap

This food is very unique in terms of being easy to carry around. Inside the rice, there are other side dishes which makes the food itself not need any other food to eat together with. It is very comfortable to bring on a trip so Korean mothers often cook this dish for their children on school trips.

 5. Tofu Soup

Tofu soup actually makes me wonder why foreigners like it. The reason for wondering is because the food is spicy and a bit salty and many non-Koreans have hard time eating spicy foods. But surprisingly, I found out that many foreigners still like to eat spicy food even though they cannot eat well! :)))

Lets now go taste these foods!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahaha

Ateneo Blue Repertory’s Little Shop of Horrors

Poster from the Ateneo BlueRep LSOH Page

I had just watched the Ateneo Blue Repertory’s ongoing play entitled Little Shop of Horrors and I am literally at a loss for words! I have to admit there’s a bit of bias here and there since a few of my friends were performers of the play. I initially went to support my friend who was part of the logistic committee for this show. But when opening week came, I heard great reviews from my friends about it and decided  to see for myself!

It was only then that I found out that friends of mine, Tina Ramos, Maronne Cruz, and Roxci de Leon were playing Audrey II, Audrey and Crystal respectively. I knew I had to watch this immediately — after hearing covers of songs these people have made, aside from hearing them sing live, how could you ever say no? I can honestly say, with no bias at all, that my mind was definitely blown after seeing them act and sing the songs flawlessly!

Unfortunately, the male lead, Luis Marcelo apparently got sick and had to be substituted the same day I was going to watch the show. Members of the Blue Repertory who were also my friends had told me that the organization had called an alumnus to play the role of Seymour for the night. Surprisingly, I was in for one hell of a show! A few minutes before the show actually started, I heard that the said alumnus was no other than a friend of mine, Reb Atadero! I always knew how great of a performer he was but this was the only chance to actually see it for myself! And he delivered past expectations — an effortless performance learned and memorized in less than a day! What a guy!

Truly amazing. It took me the rest of the night to recover from this mind that was truly blown by an amazing performance by the cast.

Minimal Effort: A Rascal’s Guide to Doing Schoolwork

Rascal

[ras-kuhl]

noun

1. a base, dishonest, or unscrupulous person.

2. a mischievous person or animal: That child is a real rascal.

Whether we admit it or not, we’ve all had those moments when we feel too lazy to do school work and

 we find ourselves leeching off from others just to be able to submit a requirement.

I, personally, am very experienced when it comes to having rascal moments which is why I’m giving out a few tips, not to stop you from becoming a rascal, but to help you  become a better rascal. 😉

So here are some of my tried and tested ways of how to make those rascal moments as productive as rascal moments go. 😀

Rascal tip #1: Cram Effectively

 If you do something wrong, might as well do it right. Cramming is a negative attitude and it  is a habbit that can be very diffult to get rid of. Since you can do nothing about it, might as well learn how to do it efficiently. If you plan to do something at the last minute, be sure that you have a gameplan up your sleeve. You can create a ‘Cram Time Table’ which allows you to allot a certain number of hours for one schoolwork and another set of hours for another school work. This way, although you’re end products are half-baked, you can finish them all and submit them to get at least a C. That’s good enough for sure. :))

Rascal Tip #2: Sugar Sugar Sugar

 Sugar is your bestfriend. Hellweeks are no joking matter. The night before a long test, trying to keep yourself awake is a task that is next to impossible given the boring nature of the subject you’re studying. Thebest way to keep the Zs away is to treat yourself to a bottle/bottles of fizzy soda, energy drink or any beverage whose sugar content is enough to bake an entire birthday cake. Not only is the sugar rush great, but you get to finish studying for that accounting long test.

Rascal Tip #3: Take the Lead

I know you’re all like. “WTF IS THIS GUY SAYING? RASCALS DON’T TAKE THE LEAD!” Well, sometimes in order to be a better rascal sacrifices have to be made. ;)When you’re in a group, volunteer to be the leader. As the leader, you have the privilege of assigning roles to the memebers of the group, so the best thing to do is to give the difficult roles to the more responsible ones and keep the more mediocre tasks for yourself. That way, you don’t mess up your group work and you get to have a good night’s rest.

It tasted like feet!

A few days ago, my friends and I went to his hole-in-the-wall italian restaurant in Maginhawa. Although Maginhawa is slowly gaining popularity as a hot spot for delicious yet affordable food, the place we went to was ok at best.  hahahaha.

Still, it was a worthwhile food adventure that i will never forget. 😉 Watch the video and see what happened. 😉

f(x) Krystal so amazing in “Kiss&Cry”

Krystal

  

Member of the Korean girl-group, f(x), Krystal performed so well in the new ice entertainment program “Kiss and Cry”.

“Kiss and Cry” is a program that many stars compete against each other in Ice skating.

And based on the results of the contest that happens in every two weeks, stars who gets lowest two ranks will be stepping out from the program.

So far Krystal has not yet been a number one rank for the previous episodes.

However, she showed a really amazing performance last sunday with the theme of ‘circus’.

She tried many hard skills such as Aerial bar lift, one foot spin, depth spiral, tetris lift, necklace lift.

The show host, Ice skating superstar Kim YuNa, even gave great comments to the performance.

The audience gave standing applause plus so many flowers after the show.

Many viewers of the program are expecting Krystal to win in the current contest.

The winners will be announced next sunday.

Car obsession: Ford vs. Dodge

A lot of people don’t know that as girly as I may be, I also have a tough boy-ish side to myself. One aspect of this: the car enthusiast in me, inherited from my dear old dad. Anyway, there was this one time my dad had me look on the web for the new 2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 Laguna Seca (yes, very long name, I know). I instantly fell in love with it, especially after watching the video they had, which you can also watch.

Apparently, the Laguna Seca has two different keys. Basically, one is for regular on-the-road kind of driving while the other key “ups the anty” and upgrades the car specs for racing capabilities. Yes, that was the only part that really caught my attention, aside from the Mustang looking oh-so-sexy, as usual 😉

A few days after researching about this car, my dad found interest in another car after seeing the displays in one of the usual malls we go somewhere in Makati. This car was an eye-catcher for my dad, especially with it’s vintage-looking rear lights. I am talking about the 2011 Dodge Challenger.

The 2011 Dodge Challenger

The rear view of the Challenger: vintage-look of the rear lights

The Challenger, like the Laguna Seca, is looks very sexy as well. The Challenger now has the Keyless Enter-N-Go along with its strong V6 and V8 engines. What’s so great about this car is the fusion of old school and modern in terms of looks along with it’s state of the art technology.

But in comparing the two, the Laguna Seca is better in terms of engine performance. Because of the type of engine it carries. The Mustang can go up to 7,500 rpm whereas the Challenger only goes up to 6,200 rpm. Tough choice between the two, right? I’m biased so I vote for the Laguna Seca. Hahahaha! What about you, what’s your pick? 🙂
