When you’re in Korea, order just one main dish. The portions here are huge! Koreans understand that if someone came to eat, they should leave full. You’ll definitely get free side dishes with the main dish, so by ordering one dish you’re basically ordering a full breakfast/lunch/dinner set. Don’t order a second dish if you came to eat alone!!! The second dish is even bigger than the first and is meant for 2–3 people!
I overate… I’m too lazy even to move… I still couldn’t finish this enormous bowl of chicken in sweet-and-spicy sauce… I barely finished the jjajangmyeon, tried a few pieces of chicken and that was it. I wanted to ask them to pack it to go, but I decided to start a diet tomorrow. The Korean diet is delicious, but not very effective 😅
By the way, when I was leaving the café, two students were sitting by the entrance… and their table was completely covered with food! I honestly don’t understand how people that skinny can eat such huge amounts! o_O
