A bunch of bananas
Yup. Dole Bananas. After we returned our car in Jinju, I visited the emart before we loaded into the train to busan (ha-ha). I like bananas so why not. And they already yellow and Dole? Can trust right? The bunch of bananas had a bit of a journey. I may have dropped it here and there but they made it safely to Busan. After all that hassle, I tried a banana the next day and it was AWFUL. Oh my god I have never had a worse banana. Anyway, I think I tried a banana (non-Dole) at the airport lounge before coming home and that one was good. This was a big no-no.
Hawaiian Paradise Coffee Cafe
Look! A cute cafe in the Busan Train Station! It was pretty busy all the time. We don’t even have one of these here in Hawaii. I didn’t get to try it because I’m not much of a coffee drinker and there was a Krispy Kreme right across the way so I of course had to eat donuts.
Perilla Oil
Like I mentioned in the previous post, I learned the power of perilla oil during this trip. Just some oil in a dish with salt and you’ve got yourself liquid gold dipping sauce. We bought a pack of perilla oil at the Costco in Korea and it tastes SO good. I wonder if we have this brand here…
maybe the bananas weren’t fully ripe?
I dont have this brand of perilla oil but I think mine was $27.95 for the bottle. I wonder if it would be as a salted dipping sauce with bread too?
I think you’re right. I should have let them sit longer!
Dang that’s expensive! Hmm I never tried it with bread, only with meat or octopus! I don’t see why not?
Just salt and perilla oil? Dip meat in it? I love sauces.
Yes! Or octopus hehe
Ho, thanks for the tip about perilla oil. I bought an $$$ tiny bottle in Japan, “first press” or something like that. It was kinda a mercy purchase ’cause I wanted to help out the farmers who were selling it.
That’s very nice of you! Open it up and give it a try!!
I think the bananas needed more black spots for it to be sweeter, we have some korean markets here so will keep an eye out for the oil
Let me know if you get to try it!
