EJAE:
I love Kimchi-jjigae, which is kimchi stew. It’s my favorite food.
AUDREY NUNA:
Honestly, just any like home-cooked meal is the best. I also like your eyeshadow.
Thank you so much.
AUDREY NUNA:
It’s pretty
REI AMI:
My favorite is sokkoritang, because my mom, oh, that’s like oxtail soup. My mom used to make that in the mornings, like during winter months, before school. So I just remember, like, always having a warm, full belly full of sokkoritang in a cold winter, so it’s my go-to comfort meal, for sure.
AUDREY NUNA:
That is cute.
It’s adorable.
REI AMI:
And it takes like hours to make.
EJAE:
I love sokkoritang.
REI AMI:
Yeah, truly an act of love.
Any of the stews, like, that’s the magic of it, the stock, the simmer.
AUDREY NUNA:
Yeah, the stinkier it is the better, right?
REI AMI:
Yeah, if it’s not smelly it’s not good.
AUDREY NUNA:
Yeah, we only want smelly.
Do any of you have a connection to this restaurant or are you just excited to try it?
Keep watching for more!
