Craving (Ngidam)

One thing about pregnancy that everyone must be familiar with is the craving for food (ngidam). Not to mention my wife, she crave for Indonesian food almost everyday. BUt you know, it is practically impossible to get Indonesian food here in Korea. I'm trying my best to cook for her, however she can't stand the kitchen smell therefore I can't cook and we have to buy our food.

Korean food is very much different from our Indonesian food. Korean food is spicy, sour and salty...maybe you knew the Kimchi...the other problem is that we are new here, so we do not know much about Korean food. So far we knew only a few foods like, samgetang (chicken herbal soup), kalbitang (beef soup), bulgogi toppap (bulgogi with rice), don kash (pork cutlet), ramyon (noodles), bibimbab (mixed rice and vegetables), samgyopsal (barbecue pork) and the most popular one is kimbab (Korean sushi)...

This is a truly new experience for us both, and we are very exciting to explore this...
