Kimchi Pajeon (Kimchi Pancake)

Kimchi Pajeon or Kimchi Pancake is a nice side dish with all the spicy Korean food we eat in a meal. It's not so spicy that it helps ease the hotness in our tongue while eating. =)

I followed it from a recipe I got online but I find it a bit bland for my taste. I should've added more kimchi to make it tastier. I'll try doing the seafood pancake next time with squid, shrimps and green onions. ^^

Kimbap - Korean Sushi

I've been making Kimbap since I bought a sushi mat from the supermarket last year but this time, I think I've finally made the tastiest batch. =)

I made two kinds of Kimbap, tuna kimbap and ham kimbap. I think the one with ham is the common one in Korea but I didn't use Korean ham though, I used spam which made my kimbap tastier. ^^

My take on Japchae

I again tried my hand on Korean cooking, this time it's Japchae. It's cellophane noodles with vegetables. Here in the Philippines, we call it sotanghon, lol! XD The difference is we cook everything together while the Korean way is to cook the ingredients separately and mix them all together by hand.

It's not as good as the original because I made mine too sweet. At least I know now to lessen the sugar because Korean cooking is just way too sweet for my family. ^^

Korean Cooking ^^

I've been trying to do some Korean cooking and these are some that I tried... =)
Cheese Ramyun - just the ordinary Korean ramyun from the package then added cheese on top... lessens the spiciness and double the yumminess. ^_^


Ddeokggochi (spicy rice cakes in skewers) - I made this less spicy since the Korean taste is a bit too much for my family. Yummy! =)


Fried Fish Cakes in Soy Sauce - this one is not spicy at all. A nice side dish for every meal. ^^


I've also tried Ddeokbokki and Dak Galbi but wasn't able to get pictures of them. They were too spicy for us that my mom tried fixing it resulting to a totally different dish all together, LOL! XD

I'm not really a very good cook, I just followed the recipe from youtube. ^^

[Movie] The Blind Side

Definitely one of the best movies I've watched recently. The acting is great and the story is just superb! Something that I've always liked, a feel good movie that has a heart.

The movie made me cry even in scenes that the actors are not crying. It's just so heart warming to think that there are such kind people in this world. So kind that color or appearance was not an issue for them. Not even society had any hold on the kindness they showed which changed one person's life totally.

A very inspiring story that is truly worth watching! =)
