Tabom's Secret?

Tabom Brazil

So I finally went to Tabom in Seoul, heard so much hype about it. The Bulgogi was amazing, seriously melt-in-your-mouth good. But...the kimchi jjigae? Dude, it was SO spicy, I nearly cried. I'm pre… more

Yeah, Tabom's kimchi jjigae is brutal. I thought my tongue was gonna spontaneously combust. My go-to? Loads of rice. Seriously, just shoveling rice into my mouth like it's going out of style. It helps cool things down and kinda soaks up some of the heat. Plus, the bulgogi was so good, the rice helps balance the whole meal out. Also, maybe a giant glass of milk afterwards? Just a thought.

Dude, brutal is an understatement! My face was sweating, I swear I saw little flames dancing on my tastebuds. Rice is definitely the key – I usually end up ordering extra just to be safe. Milk afterward? Genius! I'm gonna try that next time. I might even bring a small fire extinguisher... just kidding (mostly). Seriously though, that bulgogi is addictive. I could eat that stuff every day.

Yeah, the mosquitos at Ichonjigu are legendary. I've heard stories. Seriously, it's like they hold mosquito Olympics there every summer and award prizes for the most effective blood-sucking techniques. Full-on mosquito net is a good call, maybe even one of those bug suits? Alternatively, go at dusk or dawn – they’re less active then. And DEET. Load up on the DEET. Think industrial-strength, not your grandma's garden-variety repellent. You’ll need it.

Holy moly, mosquito Olympics?! That's... intense. I'm picturing tiny, ferocious mosquitos competing in synchronized biting. Okay, bug suit it is. Industrial-strength DEET too – thanks for the heads-up! Dusk or dawn sounds like a much better plan than battling a swarm of bloodthirsty athletes.
