Ttok Bbok Ki Rul Man Dul Ta

Supposed to type in Korean for the above title but not in the mood to open The Hangul program and type one hangul by one hangul... Everytime when I upload some korean wordings I do not use Ms Word... Just that sonsaeng-nim has borrowed the hangul program to me few years back and so I am using it till now.

I always wanted to try "making" korean food at home myself. Today I finally have the opportunity to make a "decent" ttok bbok ki at home! Went to buy the ingredients at Semi mart and asked the ajumma to recommend the method and ingredients to me (kamsa hamnida ajumma). Knowing that I am not an expert, she suggests to use the instant mixture for ttok bbok ki. Yeah she is right, I need not but all of the ingredients and still I got the same taste as in the restaurant. Bought ttok at rm6.50, odeng at rm 4.00 (10% halrin) and the mixture at rm 4.00 (10% halrin)... Why ttok got no halrin. Spent about rm 14 to buy the ingredients. instead can have it at ssang tung yi at rm 10 or kangsan-e at rm 18. Also asked ajumma on how to make japchae but she said the method of making is more complex than this... so next time will ask for sonsaeng-nim's help. Sonsaeng-nim, cho rul to wa chu sil ko cho?

Comment: Looked nice and decent but put too little water. And my lips burnt from eating!!! (Cannot be a interviewee in Love In Asia) Then YS took it and re-cook.

Looked nice and decent hor... Ne ne ne!!!

What is this? Fried rice cake? It looked so red....I don't quite like food that is covered with black or red sauce except that the main ingredient is crabs. I love crabs!!!
