Hello Foodies! I am finally back in Vancouver for the rest of the summer.

For my first homemade meal, my mother decided to do Korean food. From scratch, she made a Korean dish called Bibimbap. It had egg, seaweed, sweet meat, kimchi, rice, and other ingredients that I do not remember (oops, I should've payed attention!).

It was really good. Before you serve it, you mix it while it is still hot in the bowl. It becomes some sort of fried-rice-like dish. It was amazing. I haven't had homemade asian food in FOREVER!

The second meat dish my mother made was called Jaeyukbokeum (according to my Korean friend). It's a really interesting burst of spicy and sweet. The meat is really thin so it melted in your mouth. It was amazing!

At the end of the day, there is nothing better than a Mother's cooking. After eating cafeteria food and take out all month, it feels good to get back in the groove of eating homemade food.

As a proud Filipino, there is one thing that our people truly love: RICE.

This morning, my dad cooked me a big breakfast to set me off today. This time, I got to take a picture of the cooking up close and personal

THEN... There's the rice...

I'm not really a breakfast kind of person (I know, I know, it's the most important meal of the day...), so I consider this to be a bigger than BIG breakfast.

The rice was seasoned with soy sauce, the eggs were cooked runny, the bacon was sweet, and the asian sausage was delicious! After that meal, I was stuffed!.

And if you thought that was a big meal... You should see my dad's plate...
