Cibo Series: Kimchi

Kimchi is the national food of Korea. Before I even got into K-Pop or be interested about Korea, I have already encountered Kimchi. I think that was in my early teens while I was in Manila and I saw my cousin eating some then I was like, "What the heck is that?"

At first, this dish and I had a rough start because come on, it's cold vegetable and the flavor was entirely new to me. But as a leafy vegetable lover, I have grown to love Kimchi because it is made of radish, cabbages, and other similar things. I also am a spicy food enthusiast that's why the flavor and I eventually became friends.

I have seen many Korean films and soaps that feature how Kimchi is made, among other stuff that it is useful for. You can really see how Koreans give great importance to it not only as a national dish but also as pride of their nation.

Cibo Series: Baked Scallops

I already forgot when I first got to taste baked scallops but I'm pretty sure I was still tiny. Imagine my overwhelming reaction by the magic this dish brought.

I don't always have the chance to eat scallops that's why whenever I am somewhere which I am certain baked scallops can be accessible, I search. The only problem is, I forget. I get really giddy because of joy and excitement whenever there are scallops around. I love scallops. Like, I love them so much. Thank God for baked scallops.

Cibo Series: Seafood Carbonara

I have decided to start a series of posts that will feature my long list of favorite foods (in no particular order, but this one is, I think, an exception). I keep a list of my favorite food and beverage. That is how unnecessary I am. I have this list but every time somebody would ask me what my favorite food is, I always tell them it's Seafood Carbonara - especially one that is well-made. Oh, heaven. I can eat Carbonara forever, even if forever isn't empirically quantifiable. I don't care, thank you.

Generally, I love pasta dishes except for spaghetti. I don't eat spaghetti because I don't really like food that's tomato-flavored. But I love lasagna. That is how inconsistently ridiculous I am.

My mom liked making Carbonara even when I was a kid but at that time, I just ate and ate. As long as it tasted good, I'm gonna eat it. (From that statement, you will probably have imagined me to be a fat kid. No, I was not.)
