just a side note but most department chains have more or less the same shops across all their different outlets, so you most likely don't have to go to the Lotte department store in Seoul to get what Mike got! also, i'm not sure if it's around but the very first time I had strawberry and whipped cream was in that exact conveyor belt sushi chain in the department store, changed my life forever. yeah, strawberry and whipped cream on the conveyor belt in a sushi shop was weird, but it was so amazing

MINI HISTORY LESSON Y'ALL! Have you not been to Little Saigon in Westminster, California?! THE OG LITTLE SAIGON where citizens of Vietnam were welcome after the US army destroyed Vietnam during the war. The president at the time felt so bad he made space in the city for Vietnamese people to live and share a safe community. Westminster is home to hundreds of Vietnamese restaurants and one pho restaurant in the area even has a James Beard award. How do I know so much? I'm down the street and have lived here my whole life :) Mike please visit us in Westminster soon!

Yes! Love you Mikey, but no way is Texas better for pho than the OC (and Pho 79 specifically). Possibly controversial, but I actually think some of the pho in Orange County is better than I’ve had in Vietnam.

Mike: "This is like a one biter 😤" Holds up like a 16 ounce cup of ice cream 😅

I love the part where he's trying to combine the onions with the noodles and failing epically.

Koreans really take pride in their food presentation. Looks amazing!

The almond pastry you ate is called "galette des rois" or "galette à la frangipane". It's a French traditional pastry eaten for the Epiphany. It became very popular this year in Korea! As a French, it was very hard to find one before and now it's everywhere! haha

Thanks for confirming that korean food is sweet a lot of times. We have been discussing it and the use of sweeteners in spicy dishes to balance the flavors. (Once I ate an indian dish without spices and it was sooo sweet! One might think that you would remove the sweetners when the spice is removed but somehow they didnt do that. Maybe its the same in your udon-dish?)
