    School Lunch #2

    Part two of our five part series entitled "What I had for Lunch Today"

    Tuesday was a bit of a mixed bag with (Clockwise from top left), mixed vegetables - Mushroom, Spinach, Carrot and Ferns with a light Sesame Oil dressing, Pork cooked with Kimchi (돼지고기김치찜), Pickled Sesame Leaves, A Fruit Cup, Miyokguk (미역국) and Steamed rice with Corn (옥수수밥).

    The Pork, cooked almost to perfection melted in your mouth while the Kimchi was sweet, yet firm, not falling apart into stringy bits as it's wont to do in this dish. It was definitely the highlight of lunch while the Miyokguk - not a personal favourite - was quite thin and tasteless. And why do Koreans insist on putting corn in things so often? The Pickled Sesame leaves were an interesting addition but were inadequate for wrapping around the rice like you would with Kim.

    The vegies, mixed in with the rice for a poor man's Bibimbap were good, and the addition of the fruit cup was a nice touch.

    Bimbo rating: A middle of the road ★★1/2
