A Special Korean At-Home Meal à la MIL

2.0

by MIL

at the In-Laws’ home

-Apgujeong, Seoul-

with W and the Boyz, the In-Laws

Inevitable, sometime during this extended trip, that I’d have to enjoy — at least one home-cooked meal by the Mother-in-Law (see most recently 7.194 The MIL’s Typical …). The meat made it special.

Kimchi Jjigae (2.25) : maybe it’s just the lighting.

The whole time, I’ve been staying with my parents in Oksu, while W and the Boyz stayed with her parents in Apgujeong. For every reason — food being a key factor — this makes perfect sense to everyone.

Beyond the taste per se, what I appreciate about my mother’s cooking is that it’s so simple, focusing on the fundamentals, highlighting the purity of flavors — very northern in character.

I also like that the spreads are minimal, just a few well-balanced side dishes to complement the main.

Fall Break : Day 9 (see previously 7.298 Grilled Lamb Chops Aliman).

In Seoul. Here on holiday during DJ’s fall break. Arrived last Saturday, flying back to Manila on Monday.
