what i eat in a week in seoul 🥬 grocery shopping in korea, delivery food, cooking in my apartment

[@reminiscentoss681]

I feel you with the whole "these people hate me" front. Recently, what's helped me with those thoughts is a story I read on twitter where the person tweeting had explained this fear to a friend of theirs, that they would worry the other person must hate them or think that the time spent with them was a waste. The friend they had been telling this to stopped for a moment and then said,"that kind of hurts that you think I could think that way of you." Every time I catch myself entering the mindset that people must hate me, I think about the friend's response and am just SLAMMED with the reminder that no good person would ever feel or think that way about me, and for me to think that way about them is incredibly uncharitable to their position in this relationship or interaction.

[@caricakes]

Such a good way of thinking, thank you for this 🙏

[@Noann100]

I'm from Germany and we call chickpeas "Kichererbsen", which literally translates to "giggling peas" (or "giggle peas") 😇😄

[@caricakes]

omg i love this hahahah

[@caligirlcheli0270]

🤣😂🤣😂

[@happinesss2]

that is SO CUTE

[@mac8697]

The pandemic also worsened my social anxiety (and my anxiety in general). I feel like I'm having to re-learn things I'd already worked through, and it sucks. But hey, if we did it before, we can do it again!

[@caricakes]

yes!! just need to get back into it :')

[@janka2213]

Don't know why, but your chat messages with Kurt about the pistacchios made me feel so warm and smiling

[@caricakes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@gatiagarwal5341]

carii i have been following you for such a long time and i have to say that you are the one person i never get bored of seeing and im fr no sugar coated talks here!! Btw could you make a video talking about your fav classics next hehe😁

[@caricakes]

wahhhh thank you! and you mean books?! i feel like i havent read any classics in a while :') maybe i should change that haha

[@isabellagrimes848]

Cari, lemme put you on to a way to elevate the taste of your quinoa: toast in a pan with oil and garlic for a few mins before cooking in the rice cooker/on the stove…*chefs kiss* I’m gonna have to try your recipes!! You always make food look delicious! Thank you for sharing!

[@caricakes]

omg * takes notes *

[@lpchambers3681]

Commenting so I can find this again later…

[@malindamoore8]

What a nifty blog! Whenever I travel, I always want to try the food. Despite all being humans, it's amazing how different food can be across the world! Even when traveling across the USA, it can be a culture shock. I would love to see more videos like this one, that really express the world you live you. Thank you for sharing your life with us! XOXO

[@caricakes]

yesss i agree - traveling for food is the best hahaha

[@sunshinemyson]

Love these types of vlogs. Thanks for sharing your meals with us.

[@caricakes]

thanks for joining me^^

[@melanieheath9829]

Cari, honestly, if you came out with a cook book of just your home recipes, I'd seriously buy one for everyone in my life cause your recipes look so darn good 🤤

[@lazypicnic]

Mayak Kimbap!!! London has so many delicious things to eat but I do miss Korean food. Anyway, For now, I’ll be having London bagels for lunch tomorrow 🥯😉🧡

[@caricakes]

hehehe enjoy!

[@plushmond3955]

The quinoa salad looks amazing! I was just shocked at the prices...the feta of the exact same brand would cost like 2 euros here. But it's understandable if you think of the import fees etc.

[@caricakes]

i miss feta more than anything hahahha

[@YesItsJess]

Everything you ate looked so delicious! We use quinoa as a substitute for cous cous as a wheat-free option. It’s funny to see what is “cheap” and “expensive” in different places. All cheese is so cheap in the UK, but eating out if definitely a treat.

[@caricakes]

even couscous is expensive here :') its really rice or bust hahahha

[@luforyu]

omg I bought a neck brace and a back brace off amazon because I’m afraid of having a 90 degree spine when I’m older, and I can confirm it feels incredibly ridiculous to wear 😂

[@caricakes]

lmao good luck to both of us hahahha

[@jacsYT]

It’s always a good day when there’s a Cari upload 😊

[@caricakes]

😍😍😍😍😍

[@nataliemoon1512]

comfort food video like this is exactly what we need

[@caricakes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@hanna_Jo]

I thought this too. And now it’s raining, a real comfort place here with a cari video🤭

[@thepeasantfarmer8157]

Any time you wander around eating, I enjoy. I watched Howl's Moving Castle for the first time in January. 3 weeks later I got a black Husky/Collie mix puppy and named him Howl. Merry-go-round of life is his theme song. Its on average 14-17 degrees in my part of the pacific northwest, coldest wettest summer ever. I envy your summer weather. We are having a hard time just growing tomatoes.

[@caricakes]

omg give howl my love!!!!

[@hyun8034]

개인적으로 cari가 한국에 가장 잘 적응 하면서 사는 외국인 top10에 포함돼는것 같음 영상을 보고 있으면 편안해 지는 기분

[@Aidan_Au]

Haha Cari does think of London or the UK from time to time. Hope that you'd consider making a video about safety tips on (solo) travels

[@caricakes]

Ohh a good topic!

[@Aidan_Au]

@@caricakes Yes especially when there was a massive shooting in both Oslo and Copenhagen🥺

[@marisawu3646]

6:30 in Italy we call them ceci, they taste so good when sautéed in the pan with meat😍

[@rixanoz]

As Moomin mama said, everything that’s pleasant is good for your stomach.

[@caricakes]

hahhahaha yes! if they werent so $$$ i'd run back for those candies right now!

[@hannahlise9120]

I always cook my quinoa in a rice cooker, often 1:1 ratio with short grain rice. It turns out well and I don't have to watch the stove 😁 thanks for sharing a bunch of healthy meals for the summer, it's so hard to cook when it's hot.. there's a heat wave coming to Boston next week so I'll need help haha

[@FlavorofMind]

Lots of tasty stuff in this video! That black sesame greek yogurt from the local spot looked so good.. And I also love that you can shimmy over to Gwangjang Market for a weekend late lunch. Jealous!

[@caricakes]

yessss i'd eat that yogurt every day if i could hahaha

[@FlavorofMind]

@@caricakes I love to place greek yogurt snacks/meals between Korean meals, which are so often heavily seasoned (in the best way 😁). Really need that calming, rich, and very unsalty vibe to balance things out!

[@justineseo7877]

What’s the name o. the yogurt place? 🤩

[@karinanieblas3677]

awesome! my favorite kind of videos. sending you love cari 💕

[@caricakes]

right back at you 😍

[@daehako]

Liked how you showed that’s it’s possible to shop and make food one might be familiar with from home but more economical in many respects to eat out in Korea. No matter where you live everyone has days feeling too tired to cook. Plus going out is social. Glad you were able to overcome anxiety for the meetup!

[@anyaguinzbourg8609]

Thanks for the food vlog, it was so fun to watch! Please make more of these, this content is great💜 also that neck brace thingy at the end was hilarious 🤣 has it been working?

[@caricakes]

thank you!! and omg i keep forgetting to use it but when im at my desk is does remind me to sit up straight!!!

[@cheskalotr]

My favorite cheap meal I'd cook for myself when I lived in Seoul was broccoli and tomatoes that I'd roast in the fish griller with a little olive oil and feta. Can be eaten on its own or with quinoa or pasta. I loved it because broccoli and tomatoes are crazy cheap at the market! And they're both quite expensive where I'm from.

[@caricakes]

omg yessss that sounds so good! i love broccoli :')

[@jkelly1701]

Super great video loved it Trying to catch up on some of your previous vlogs as Ive been out of action for sometime but looking forward to all of them.

[@caricakes]

glad to see you're back!!

[@maryr329]

Good to see you back!

[@joanahenriques8863]

Lovely and chill 🤩 there is something about your videos that makes me feel so motivated! p.s - those braids look adorable!

[@noemislittlecorner]

I wish I lived in Seoul and could go to your book-gathering! :'( Loved the vlog, laughed with you at the end with the neck-thingy. :D Have a great week ahead, Cari! :*

[@caricakes]

hopefully someday!!! and thank you^^

[@saskiaaribawa]

I love these what I eat videos ❤️ can you still do eating your way through a book, like H mart maybe 🥹 take care!

[@caricakes]

omg what a fun idea!!

[@ehmmmjay9907]

OK , that whole quinoa debacle was adorable!

[@caricakes]

😂😂😂

[@janelloyd2897]

When you have keenwa, chick peas, fetta etc left over. Mix it all together and roll in breadcrumbs and lightly fry (air fryer) delicious

[@MyLifeAsLouis]

I'm planning on visiting Seoul soon and I'm nervous especially in solo dining because from what I heard that some restaurants aren't honbap friendly but hopefully everything goes well.

[@Geppinovale]

What about doing a video on your Korean skincare?? I'm very curious :D Love from sunny ITALY

[@Angela_613]

Kurt calling you "my squrell"... Thats so cute :'-)

[@caricakes]

🐿🐿🐿

[@DeaBeanTattoos]

Hey Cari! Random and off topic ~ you look so pretty and absolutely glowing! Would you consider making an updated skin care routine video incorporated with a video taking about any skin treatments you've gotten if you have gotten any? (I'm interested in skin care treatments but don't know where to start). You look wonderful and your skin looks so healthy! 💖

[@caricakes]

i actually really rarely get skin treatments (i've done microneedling once and had a laser treatment a few years ago) but im actually having a sale on my fav skincare right now^^ bit.ly/3z0lnsI

[@user-en9ek1bo4v]

You are such a lovely person. I know your life is really real. Very happy to see real life in Korea

[@pranavisridhar44]

Hii! I love your vids so much and they are so inspiring especially with you traveling alone

[@caricakes]

thank you always!!

[@revital7916]

In Israel they called humus, Even before cooking and grinding them into a humus spread, and spreading olive oil. Love you dear sweet Cari 💜💗

[@sj_sunshine]

it was so nice to watch this while eating breakfast ☺️ i love these kinds of videos!

[@caricakes]

Have a lovely day 🥰

[@nataschasongbird]

I so badly wanna go to a Korean food market now🥲 Miss that so much. Also that Quinoa salad looked soooooo good. Might try that as well :) Have a lovely sunday, Cari

[@samantha4324]

I'm glad I'm not the only one that does that with fresh herbs!

[@tamsinfrostmusic]

aw i loved watching this cari 🥰 so interesting to know that eating out is cheaper bc in the uk it certainly is not haha

[@caricakes]

yeah the uk really took my wallet and ran :''')

[@debbiefondow7871]

Such a fun video. The neck gear is hilarious but hoping it helps. ❤️

[@caricakes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@ViewTifuLKat777]

yes i would love to see more foodie vlogs!

[@janelloyd2897]

Hi Cari, love watching you. Next time please cut the onion in half first its then easier to cut and dice. Also if you lots of herbs, cut them then freeze them in ice cube trays with water and you can then put them into lots of dishes. Waste not.

[@andrew-ir6en]

Ssg market is the one of the markets whose selling prices high. I recommend traditional market aka Sijang or local markets nearby apartments or online markets, for example Coupang.

[@caricakes]

you cant get feta cheese at 시장 ㅠㅠ and its the same price on coupang - i only go to ssg for ingredients that i cant find it anywhere else

[@ReiyukaE]

I'd be so broke, if feta was that expensive over here. I eat some kind of salad with feta or mozzarella every day. 🙈 I'm glad you treated yourself to it, especially after being in Europe for such a while and now having wholly different (tho super great) food again.

[@caricakes]

I used to inhale feta back home 😂😂😂 i miss it so much

[@ReiyukaE]

@@caricakes OH gosh, I can imagine. 😂 Guess a Feta-care package is needed. 😂😂

[@lpchambers3681]

Your neck brace looks like an avant garde necklace with the color. I kept forgetting you were braced every few moments.

[@caricakes]

lol i liked the colors too!

[@maryr329]

Ceci is what my Italian friends’ moms called them. And I have no idea why we ate them much! Bring an empty suitcase next time you come home. You can make that smashed chickpea sandwich from Wichcraft:)

[@caricakes]

will do!

[@lunabear2171]

Oh Is that Mala Xiang Gou? That's pretty popular here too. Idk why but people love any kinds of spicy Mala dishes and it even became like a trend a few years ago.

[@rollindy]

Hilarious and lovely as always! Love how you always managed to make, even this videos that I’m personally not super interested in, really entertaining by sharing your thoughts in a daily basis xx

[@caricakes]

Thank you 🥲🥲

[@t.t.324]

I've been waiting to see your vlog!😇 And yes, I have not finished watching it. Just wanted to comment first and gosh how excited I am cause this time you're doing the food vlog!! 😊

[@caricakes]

❤️❤️❤️

[@t.t.324]

@@caricakes beside the Malatang that looks very delicious (although I can't really eat spicy food lol) I found your black saseme yogurt very intrigued! Is the yogurt part just unsweetened Greek yogurt? Sorry I have to ask to imagine the taste better 😅

[@juliet7196]

Thank you Carie for working so hard to bring us such enjoyable videos to watch. I look forward to each one. I feel happy when I watch them. Thank you for sharing your life, you are a wonderful young woman.

[@siriusblackswan]

the social anxiety situation is so relatable, also I laughed so hard at that neck support beacuse it's actually something I need, I loveeeee these kind of videos where you cook or are more focused on food :)

[@lynnspacek894]

Your video and editing vibes after your trip (this video especially) is awesome. Very fun and funny vibes

[@caricakes]

thank you so much!!!

[@shannongallagher3670]

Definitely would be interested in more of these kinds of videos and it would be great for your health both physically and mentally. Variety is the spice of life after all. Great video as always 👍 😁

[@caricakes]

Hahah thank you!!

[@WiMae]

Cari's videos makes me wanna vlog again but i always feel like im doing a boring storytelling process but like what she said when i do more things purposefully i feel more content so im just thinking that maybe trying out a weekly vlog would help me get over my 5 year creative slump.

[@lifewithjown]

that malatang looks divine indeed!!! salivating while watching that clip. Im craving it now!!

[@caricakes]

Forever craving 🥲

[@toritorry]

Moya and Leah!!!!! I’m so excited to see you guys together next time

[@caricakes]

they need to get over here to korea asap!

Thank YOU!

[@blueskiesandclouds5596]

I’m watching this before bed and, let me tell you... it’s a bad idea 😅

[@katiemclean4086]

ah love this vlog! you make even the most mundane things seem pretty & its really inspiring to me! the shopping bit at the beginning was a little shocking to hear .. not because food is expensive, but because it is sometimes cheaper to eat out! i'd love to know more about buying food in korea/types of stores/prices of food in the future (if you do another vlog and are able to sneak it in)! i've never heard anyone else talk about that ^^

[@julieanndl]

Just commenting this out of nowhere - Been watching your vlogs for years but just suddenly thought of Lily Bloom (Colleen Hoover's It Ends with Us, a book I read a couple of years ago).

[@MavisCCC]

I don't eat egss anymore but your breakfasts always look amazing! It's nice to hear from you again in a video 🥰✨

[@kiranreader]

ahh!! everything looked so good, esp monday's eggs!!!! and that ice cream!! amaze!

[@caricakes]

yesss my convenience store stopped selling the ice cream and im so sad :')

[@mattkean1128]

The braids are such a good look 🌻

[@caricakes]

thanks!!!

[@benjaminbrelje2289]

What's it called something tongue I know you said it was like a stir fry thing looks good I love how you're always talking about like different places and different foods and stuff things that I really have no idea about it's cool that you can tell people about all these different things and like Korean names

[@julianathint130]

hi cari!! i am just about to settle down and eat dinner and now i have the PERFECT video to watch during my feast haha! Sending love!

[@caricakes]

yessss have a good rest of your night 😍

[@ririns]

I'm super interested in learning about vlogging, if anything to share upcoming solo travel with my family. But man there is so much content out there about it. All that info can be super intimidating. I've never tried skillshare, so why not check it out now? Thanks, Cari!

[@ithescarcha7112]

My day start with your video it such a blessing:3

[@caricakes]

🥰🙏🥰🙏

[@labloke5020]

For your first dish, if you add diced tomatoes and substitute quinoa with rice, you just made popular Turkish dish called "Pilavcısı"

[@caricakes]

Ohhhh that sounds like something I’d love!!

[@sariajosephb]

I love this vlog! I find I'm good eating the same thing everyday and now I feel I need more adventure in my eating life 😆😆

[@michelletemple9417]

Love you videos Cari! I've not been back to Korea since turning vegetarian, and hope to come over early next year - how easy is it to find veggie options when eating out? 🌻

[@caricakes]

its gotten so much easier!! obviously not every place will have a veggie option, but there are so many great new restaurants now - some that are even 100% vegan!

[@mikkokim5998]

What the heck was that headgear/neck holder thing at the end??!!!!! Whahhaaaaaaa. I BUSTED-OUT laughing!! 🤣🤣🤣

[@caricakes]

dont knock it til you try it ahhhhaaa

[@rachelweidner4592]

Really enjoyed this! ❤️ It made cleaning out my fridge and pantry so much more enjoyable. 😂

[@stephlcase]

Hey Cari :) I took your course on skillshare and it was SO helpful! Also I love videos like these! Thanks for sharing

[@Booksloveandtea]

I love your cooking videos. I actually rewatch the one where you made carrot sweet potato soup quite a bit lol. I’ve made that soup too, it was so good. I’m going to try the quinoa chick pea dish, trying to follow Mediterranean diet and this fits perfectly.

[@caricakes]

Definitely need to make that again, so good!!!!

[@TheGlambitiousBeauty]

Wow I really liked this x

[@caricakes]

🥰🥰🥰

[@aeolia80]

I grew up in California so we tend to vear towards the Spanish for a lot of food vocab, so out west we use garbanzo for chick peas. But now I live in France where even though Spain is so close no one knows what in the hell I'm saying, lol (I say cilantro for coriander too, lol), I have to use the French version, pois chiche (it literally means chick pea, lol), or say in English chick pea. But I find Italian ceci (chechi) to be the cutest version of it, lol

[@mac8697]

Spanish is pretty far off from French, tho (I speak both). Spanish and Italian, on the other hand, are decently similar, and Portuguese is very close to Spanish. French is that weird cousin in the romance language family lol.

Oh I need to know what restaurant you had the dumpling soup at. I need to have that when I come to Seoul to visit my daughter in November. Love this content of just what you’re eating and sharing your daily life. You had me laughing so hard eating the ice cream with the neck contraption 😂 You would be a blast to hang out with!

Quinoa is South American, feta and chick peas are Mediterranean... It feels like everyone forgets how much South American gave to the rest of the world culinary-wise.
