Korean CHEAP EATS Spicy ARMY STEW & Kpop Passport Photo in Seoul

[@robrosy]

I can’t help but feel his disappointment when he discovered that the ‘meat’ mountain was rather just a whole pile of bean sprouts. I too also hate it when vendors make a dish appear misleading.

[@loveislove2359]

I tried it, and it's not cheap

[@IDiggPattyMayonnaise]

At least it was more food inside. Some places put ice inside.

[@austinkim6372]

Sprouts are known to be good for cough and cold, especially when cooked in soups.

[@maxxcreese9911]

DISAPPOINTED!!

[@taotzu1339]

It was bait and switch. But then again, the average person was not going to think that entire mountain was all meat.

[@sydthekid2015]

This man has had 5 star gourmet meals but he still appreciates and loves street food and mom and pop shops. Amazing.

[@jonnyrawket8158]

I’ve come to find street food can sometimes out do a restaurant just cause it’s raw and comfort foodish, even if you’ve never had that food before. It’s genuinely surprising

[@rifathussain5337]
