Annyonghaseyo! hi all! that's just how Koreans saying hi or hello. Alright then i'm going to share my family favorite Korean meals that i made. Since i started to be more care about myself lol, i love me but i never showed it off, so now on i want to eat properly, eat more veggies and make my own smoothie. If we are healthy, our body tend more easy to shape, we get beautiful and glowing skin, strong hair, always fit, have more energy. We more tend to be productive everyday. Don't be afraid that K-meals will be difficult to make, I am here working so hard to sum up and get a bit creative to make this meals easy to make and affordable. Because my motto is, healthy is not always expensive. We are so lucky living and growing up in Indonesia with nice weather every year. We have many optional vegetables and fruits. As Korean meals have uncommon ingredients but not to worries we can substitute that hardly to find or expensive, but still taste good and looks similiar. Alright enough with the opening.
