Out & About #151 | Korean Food + Hot Chocolate Yuan Yang 

10/25/2015

 
After experiencing the cycle of five consecutive days' worth of intense work life repeat itself over the past two months, there really is nothing else I look forward to over sleeping in on weekends. I can only imagine this cycle will continue to become increasingly challenging as the temperatures drop and the road conditions become trickier to manage.

Ever since a milk frother was added to our extensive kitchen equipment collection, I've found myself constantly conjuring up reasons to use it. Cravings for lattes and hot chocolate are immense these days, so it's especially unfortunate that we've currently ran out of whipped cream, and baking chocolate for that matter. A foamy mocha will temporarily act as a substitute pick-me-up in their absence.

Another thing I've confirmed is that I largely enjoy Korean food, but only when the dishes are mild enough for my tastebuds. Despite the frequent use of hot peppers and hot pepper paste (called "gochujang"), majority of their street food items are relatively spice-free.

​A lunch comprised of 모든 전 (Assorted Pan Fried Items), collection of marinated side dishes, and kimbap was perfect for a rainy day in; finishing it all off with freshly-made custard and red bean taiyaki was even better!

The arrival of Sunday mornings always reminds me that I have less than 24 hours to finish the remainder of my chores/photo editing/blog work/scheduling.
But on a more positive note, it also means that I can leisurely enjoy my breakfast, and photograph it if my heart desires.

This week's breakfast included half of a Coconut Twist Bun from furama and a Hot Chocolate Yuan Yang (all credits go to Lady and Pups for this mindblowing invention!). For directions on how to re-create my adaptation of this delightful cold weather beverage, check out the What I Make section!
