KKF - I think Popin meant "halmonee" or "grandmother" in Korean. Switching "l" and "r" is also the most common linguistic error for Azns haha.

I suppose this might because Asian people eat out more often? Does Mcdonalds take away from the business of these places? I guess that many of the very delicous restaurants I eat in Asia that would pass for non-fast food in USA, are actually fsat-food in Asia, only its not disgusting if that makes any sense? For instance, food courts in shopping malls in Asia serve very delicous food that most Americans would describe as "home cooked", as opposed to a more institutionalized preparation methods.

There's definitely some kind of premium in America associated with eating out anywhere, with the exception of fast food. As you mention, in Asia (and in heavy Asian populations in LA, like San Gabriel Valley, K-town) Asians just eat out alot. And it's closer to home-style cooking, and it's way cheaper.

That does it...I'm off to the Korean grocery store at lunch. I'm having bibimbop for lunch in the little restaurant they have then I'm picking up some uncooked bulgogi and kalbi to make for my meals this weekend. Oh, and some Hite beer to go with it. Good stuff.

When you get BBQ, you get a plate of pork/beef/seafood. Then you get rice(if you want it) and a lettuce type vegetable, and a bunch of sauces. Then you normally get a soup, and 6-7 other small dishs with food in them. These are different foods that you eat with the meal. Most of them are fairly strong, and I dont think most people end up consuming all of them. Its really hard for to describe these side dishs because I have no idea what some of them consist of. They are usually pickled vegetables and stuff like that along with different varieties of tofu, whatever. Very good stuff. Ill let more Koreans speak on these side dishs.

Chinese Food FTW. I do enjoy Gahm Mi Oak (Sul la Tang) and Jja Jjang Mien, but that's Chinese anyways. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

I haven't had that in years. Now I want some.

Also good is the turnip kimchi. My favorite is when it still has the turnip vines attached.
