Quarantine Day 3: Kimchi for Breakfast

The hotel provides all my meals in these little bento boxes. I don't have any control over what goes in them, so I pretty much always get kimchi.

Breakfast this morning was unusual in that I could name almost everything: kimchi, eggs, sushi, fruit, bacon, compressed protein nugget.

The only thing that stumped me was this wet yellow lump next to the kimchi. I make an effort to eat the local food but I wonder if quarantine food is really the best introduction to Korean cuisine.

I stare longingly out the window at the barbecue joint across the street as I gnaw on my wet yellow lump and try not to smell.
