Because we miss Korean food: MASHITTA!

We’ve been craving for Korean food since last week and it has been a long time since we’ve last visited our most favorite place in UP: MASHITTA!

They serve Korean and Japanese dishes, and I reckon that their Korean food is so good that even Korean exchange students/people within the campus frequent this place.

Since 2009 or 2010, we’ve been eating in this place each Saturday after my graduate school classes. And now that I no longer have classes, we still do our weekly pilgrimage to Mashitta. The food is great and not that expensive as an average meal costs more or less Php 100.

We were hoping that they would finally be serving bibim ramyun after a very long time. Since we return from our Korea trip in September last year, they still do not serve it. Mon and I were thinking that they might have already ceased serving them for good. Too bad because it was our favorite dish from them.

But we were not disappointed with the things we chose. Our staple 5-piece kimchijeon:

While Mon ordered this bibimbap (which is nowhere good from that bibimbap place we visited near Gyeongbokgung Palace):

And since I’ve been missing my friend Ikle so much, I ordered this seafood rakbokgi, which I remembered him ordering when he would come to dinner with us during my then-Saturday classes. It was not the most presentable looking but believe me, it tastes extremely good.

I was next to the aircon while eating because my head was sweating like mad. I even took off my glasses as the steam from the food and the heat from my face cloud them.

We normally divide the kimchijeon in half, but I was able to trick Mon to eat three out of the five pieces. I could no longer eat that half and it was much better to give it to him because he loved them more than me.
