Ramyeon
What could be more soothing than a hot bowl of noodles in spicy, umami-rich broth? This dish is so popular we don’t believe we’ve seen a K-drama without a ramyeon scene! Order yours from Seouled Out where you can choose between original or spicy soup base, with a variety of toppings. By the way, did you know asking someone to have ramyeon with you has a not-so-innocuous meaning? Check it out in the linke below. Ramyeon from @seouledoutmnl is also available via GrabFood or foodpanda.

Mandu
These fat little Korean dumplings are perfect with ramyeon. They’re also delicious on their own. Go ahead and wolf down a few dozen while crying into your beer (or soju). At Korea Garden, you can order them fried or steamed. Every piece is handmade and perfectly soft and chewy. Choose between pork and vegetables, or vegetables only. Get some now from @koreagardenph.

Tteokbokki
Garlicky, spicy, a teeny bit sweet, tteokbokki are a popular Korean street food made of chewy rice cakes with funky gochujang, soy sauce, sugar, garlic. For an extra layer of comfort, a cheesy serving of tteokbokki hits the spot. Order from @mariastteokbokki where you can choose between sweet and spicy, or cheesy.

Korean Fried Chicken
Every K-drama fan is a fan of crispy, crunchy Korean-style fried chicken, often paired with cold, cold beer. You can never go wrong with this dish, and thank goodness popular Korean chain @bbqchicken.ph just opened in BGC. Grab some Golden Fried Chicken or Hot Crispy Chicken. Pour yourself some beer. Suddenly, life is looking a whole lot better, right?

Korean Barbecue
Drag your friends to a Korean grill and forget your sorrows while you grill some galbi-bonsal (premium Angus short rib), galbi, or even makchang (beef tripe). Order some jjigae (spicy stew), a round of soju and carouse the night away. Head over to @makchangofficial now.

Egg Drop Sandwiches
Who can resist the comforting appeal of these sandwiches made with soft, fluffy egg topped with cheese, bacon, and whatever else you’d like. @momo_eggdrop offers a fun variety, including Jeju (premium ham and avocado), Itaewon (chicken and pesto), and Gwangju (bacon and corn). Cheesy, eggy, creamy, yummy.

Corn Dogs
This snack is just hotdog on a stick, deep-fried in batter with mozzarella, and sometimes potato, finished with sugar, then eaten with ketchup, sweet mustard or mayonnaise. So simple, so good! We love how @dogsanddairies offers playful flavors like ube cheese or double cheese jalapeño.

Korean Cheesy Garlic Bread
A crunchy exterior encases a chewy yet custardy interior filled with lightly sweetened cream cheese and lots of garlicky flavor. Once you start eating, it’s very hard to stop! Order from @cheesu.ph.

Kimchi
Did you know fermented foods are great for depression? That’s why a dollop of kimchi will shake off your doldrums. Bring home a jar of your favorite kimchi and add it to anything you want. With bacon and eggs, on grilled meats or fish, even soups and hotpots. Some kimchi a day will keep the blues away. We like the traditional-style kimchi from @heykimchee.

Bungeoppang
These charmig fish-shaped pastries with sweet red bean filling had a major role in the K-drama “Vincenzo” where Son Joong-ki met his now wife, Katy. Plus, he’s said that he has a fondness for red beans. Making these the perfect snack while you indulge in a little wistful daydreaming about your now hitched crush. Available at Big G Family Mart.
