Bibimbab + McDouble

3.0

at Yewon + McDonald’s

(E-Mart)

This was my way of maintaining balance.

I wanted to do the right thing by eating something nutritious/natural/light for dinner.  At the food court in our local E-Mart, bibimbab is about the only item fitting that description.  And it’s reasonably good.  So I got one.

However, recognizing that it wouldn’t tide me over until bedtime – I tend to sleep around 0200, more than 6 hours away at that point – I knew that I’d need a little something extra to get me through the night.  Otherwise, I’d find myself making a something like a pork belly sandwich at midnight.  I suppose that I could’ve had another bowl of bibimbab, but that would’ve been dumb.  Fortunately, the food court also has McDonald’s, which offers the McDouble, not exactly nutritious/natural/light but certainly a little something extra.
