Hey everyone! Before setting off for my year abroad, I was a little wary about living in major cities for the year. I was afraid that they would all be like New York City: dirty, smelly, and overcrowded. Most of them were.

These ones were so cute that I had to get one. Typically they don't have the turtle parts and look like the middle part. They're sweet and slightly pineapple-y. Highly recommended.

More KBBQ

Bibimbap

This is a Korean dish. It is rice with vegetables (and in this case egg) in a hot stone bowl. As you can see here the ingredients are raw when they are served, so you stir up all of the ingredients and let the heat of the bowl cook everything.

The food we made in Vietnam

Spring rolls and bananna leaf salad

Egg hot chocolate from Vietnam

Burrito from Hong Kong

Spring rolls in Vietnam

Ice cream in Hong Kong

Known in English as tofu pudding, this is a dessert dish that is very sweet

Spicy Sichuan style noodles

Dumplings in egg

Dumplings in a skillet with a thin layer of egg around them

Pineapple bun

Soft but flaky on top

雪冰 (Xuě bīng - Snow ice)

This is a Korean dessert that is super tasty. Underneath the fresh fruit is the snow ice, which is like shaved ice but milky and sweet.

Sam with 雪冰

Curry with omurice

This is a Japanese dish. Underneath the egg is white rice. You can tell this is a Japanese curry because of the brown color

粽子 (Zòngzi)

Wrapped inside the leaf is a VERY sticky rice ball with smoked meat in the middle. My host mom gave me these for breakfast sometimes.
