They say there’s no better introduction to culture than food, and South Korea is certainly no stranger to making themselves known through their delectable dishes. Korean culture has had a great influence on our own food trends in Manila these past few years, thanks to its massive presence in K-dramas and films, as well as on social media posts by Korean idols and other Korean personalities.


The influence of Korean culture all over the world is intense and I’m pretty sure anyone who went down the K-drama rabbit hole would like to try these mouth-watering goodies themselves. Whether you want to explore Korean cuisine through dining at restaurants or cooking at home, there’s no better way to live your K-drama dreams than with food. Swipe through the gallery to see our favorite go-to K-drama staples and comfort foods, with our recommendations on where to order or how you can easily recreate the dish on your own. Ready?


Egg Drop Sandwiches from Hospital Playlist 1 - n Hospital Playlist 1, Dr. Jang Gyeo Wool (played by Shin Hyun Been) gobbles three mouthwatering egg drop sandwiches with the efficiency of a professional mukbanger. She eats with so much gusto that she can empty a whole box of snacks in one sitting, making you wish you could take a few bites, too.

Where To Order: Egg Drop Manila - Not your typical egg salad sandwich, these Korean egg drop sandwiches are made with scrambled, fried or soft boiled eggs, slices of thick bread (often brioche), and a range of delicious fillings like bacon, cheese, and ham — then it’s drizzled with a sauce made of sriracha and condensed milk. The result is a hefty sandwich with delightful combo of creamy, eggy, spicy, sweet and meaty. Yum! @eggdropmnl comes in delish flavors like Garlic Bacon Cheese, Double Bacon Cheese, Beef Bulgogi, and the intriguingly named The Hungover Sandwich. Order from @eggdropmnl.ORDER HERE

Mandu (Korean dumplings) from Hotel del Luna - When hotelier Jang Man-wol (lee Ji-eun) tries to recruit handsome Gu Chang-seong to work as a manger at the Hotel del Luna, she makes her pitch in this restaurant where she orders hot steamed buns and mandu. The dumplings look so appetizing they make me want to volunteer as tribute and work with the ghosts!

Where To Order: Mandu Heaven - Mandu are delicious Korean dumplings stuffed with minced shrimp, water chestnuts, scallions and a variety of other fillings. For authentic Korean mandu, go to where the Koreans eat — at @manduheaven near Astoria. They serve a variety of mandu from the meaty gogi mandu, the spicy kimchi mandu, and fresh fried mandu. ORDER HERE

Cheese Sausages from Weightlifting Fairy Kim Bok Joo - In one of the funniest scenes, the two lead characters almost get into an accident where Jung Joon-hyung mistakenly thinks the sausage is Kim Bok-joo’s severed finger! I’m not surprised Bok Joo is so upset about dropping his snack because this ready-to-eat stick sausage is so yum and convenient!

Where To Order: Your favorite Korean grocery - It looks like a cheese stick and it’s called a sausage, but here’s a fun fact: these ready-to-eat stick sausages are not made from pork or beef but with fish meat and cheese! They come in different flavors, too, are packaged so conveniently that all you have to do is peel off the wrapping and eat. Or drop one in your favorite ramyeon. Available in most KOrean groceries or order from @mukbangneeds.ph.ORDER HERE

Bibimbap from True Beauty - Of course we’d love to eat bibimbap in a romantic rooftop lunch setting, with Lim Joo-kyung mixing it for us, but we’ll just as happily recreate this all by ourselves (no rooftop setup required). In short, we absolutely want to enjoy the hearty meal Joo-kyung made for Lee Su-ho!Viu

Where To Order: Mr Kimbob - Bibimbap is a dish of mixed rice and meat with assorted vegetables, so there are endless possible variations. We love @mrkimbobph’s Meat Lover’s Bibimbap where you choose beef, pork or chicken. But there’s an even heftier one — the Double Meat Bibimbob. We like how the vegetables are always crisp, fresh and in the best condition. The classic bibimbap is good, too — it’s one you can savor with every spoonful.ORDER HERE

Bungeoppang from Vincenzo - In one of the cutest scenes in Vincenzo, he and love interest Cha-young argue about the difference between bungeoppang and ingeoppang. It’s in the shape of their mouths, he said. It’s the dough, she said. We say, it doesn’t matter, we just want some!

Where To Order: Baegoppang.ph - Yes, you can now order these traditional Korean fish-shaped pastries in Manila, and they come with a variety of fillings from yema to nutella. Order from @baegoppang.ph.ORDER HERE

Corn Dogs from Start-Up - in a heartwarming scene, “good boy” Han Ji-pyeong makes our us drool as he takes a bite of his favorite corn dog from his adoptive halmeoni, Ms. Choi’s, corn dog stand. Theirs is arguably our favorite relationship in the whole show.

Where To Order: OhMy Jeong Korean Corndog MNL - Lots of Korean Corn Dog places have opened in Manila, but we love this one in particular for its variety of flavors. Not only do they offer classic corn dogs with potato and cheese, they also have trendy boxed treats: 6 corn dogs in themed flavors. Take the Sweet Tooth Box (choco butternut, Oreo mojo, perfect matcha), for example. Just amazing! ORDER HERE

Kimbap from Extraordinary Attorney Woo - Title character, Attorney Woo Young-woo eats only kimbap because, with her autism spectral disorder, this dish allows her to see all the ingredients at a glance. We don’t need any such excuse to admit that just like Young-woo, kimbap is probably a meal we can eat everyday.ENA

Where To Order: Ms. Kimbap - Kimbap or Korean seaweed rice rolls, are one of the most popular snacks in Korea and can have all sorts of fillings. In South Korea, you can find them in bus stations and family dinners and fancy restaurants. In Manila, we suggest order @ms.kimbap’s Classic Kimbap and Bulgogi Kimbap. Cravings sated! ORDER HERE

Seaweed Soup from Nevertheless - If you watched as many K-dramas as we have, then you already know that miyeokguk (seaweed soup) is always served on birthdays. So we loved watching Yang Do-hyeok serve Yoon Na-bi seaweed soup he prepared along with a cake for her birthday. Makes me wanna say, “Sana all.”

Where To Order: Sijang Mart - Koreans often celebrate their birthdays with Miyeokguk, but you don’t need a special occasion to try this instant seaweed soup, available at Sijang Mart. You can add your own twist by adding soft tofu, chopped beef, or any toppings of your choice.ORDER HERE

Strawberry Milk from Sassy, Go Go - Kang Yeon-doo and Ha Dong-jae’s friendship is so pure, we love how they’re so in rhythm with each other — as you can see in this scene where they drink strawberry milk. Their favorites are definitely a must-try!

Where To Order: Korean groceries or Lazada - Binggrae’s Strawberry Milk is a cult favorite you should definitely try. It’s only the second milk flavor released by Binggrae, and it came 39 years after their original flavor, Banana Milk. We say it’s like strawberry-flavored evaporated milk, and definitely addicting. Available at your favorite Korean grocery or order from Lazada. ORDER HERE

Kopiko candy from Vincenzo - The hotshot lawyers at the Jipuargi Law Firm not only look hot in their suits, but are stellar in the courtroom. Can it be the instant coffee they’re always drinking in the office or maybe it’s the ubiquitous Kopiko coffee candy!

Where To Order: Groceries or Lazada - Known as the OG candy, Kopiko Blister Pack is made from the extract of selected coffee beans and have enough caffeine to help you conveniently recharge anytime for only 38 pesos per pack. Nifty, isn’t it? Available at your favorite grocery stores or order from Lazada.ORDER HERE

Kko Kkal Corn Chips from Reply 1988 - If you’ve ever had even a bite of this sweet cone-shaped snack, you will understand why cute Jin Joo refused to share hers with Bora. Like her, we’d keep this tasty snack all to ourselves, too!TvN

Where To Order: Korean groceries or Lazada - Ssamundong squad’s favorite snack will also be yours with its cute cone-shaped pieces and peerless flavor. Made of chunks of natural corn, Kkokkal Corn Chips is available at leading Korean groceries and Lazada.ORDER HERE

Sundubu Jjigae from Itaewon Class - Itaewon Class introduces us to Sundubu Jjigae as this Korean comfort food that nourishes the characters throughout the series. We think it’s a character in itself! You’ll have to watch the show to understand what we mean because spoilers aren’t allowed in this list. Or check out the more detailed article in the link below.READ MORE.

Where To Order: Makchang Korean Barbecue - Sundubu Jjigae, or spicy soft tofu is one of South Korea’s favorite stews. But don’t worry, you don’t have to buy a plane ticket to Seoul to enjoy a steaming, spicy bowl of jjigae. Simply order from @makchangofficial or you’re set! ORDER HERE

jajangmyeon from Hi Bye, Mama! - This unexpectedly heart-wrenching series had ghostly mother YuRi eating a mouthful of jjajangmyeon, after turning back into a human. Made us cry and crave at the same time. So we hunted for where to get the best jajangmyeon with the richest, most savory flavors in town.

Where To Order: Red Table Restaurant - If you’re a k-drama enthusiast, you certainly know that jjajangmyeon is one of the most beloved dishes in South Korea. Hefty noodles in a sinfully rich black bean sauce is best made at @redtable.ph where they make a chunky Spicy Seafood Jjangmyeon that will surely satisfy your palate!ORDER HERE

Pasta from The Legend of the Deep Blue Sea - It’s true that for love, you can be anything. So we see handsome con artist Heo Joon-jae transform into a food connoisseur, as he prepares this luscious pasta for his mermaid love interest, Shim Cheong.

Where To Order: Mama Lou's Italian Kitchen - You can order pasta from a lot of places, but we love the absolute homecooking vibe of Mama Lou’s dishes. It’s the kind of cooking that you expect from grandma’s kitchen. Good food, good times don’t have to be fancy! ORDER HERE

Omurice from Rooftop Prince - We discovered this sweet-and-savory chicken omelet fried rice watching Rooftop Prince, and we understood immediately why it was the royal princes’ favorite dish. It’s nutritious, budget-friendly, delicious, and easy to make — what’s not to like?SBS

Where To Order: Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory - Popular in Japan and Korea, Omurice is a fusion dish that combines Asian fried rice wrapped in a Western omelet. Tokyo Milk Cheese Factory offers a fantastic Chicken Cheese Omurice, as well as a Beef Hayashi flavor and a Chicken Tomato Omurice. ORDER HERE

Onmyeon from Crash Landing On You - Seri’s first meal in North Korea is onmyeon, a traditional homemade noodle prepared by Captain Ri. It must have felt like a warm hug on her palate as the flavors of the natural ingredients shone through. The dish epitomized the simple, rustic lifestyle of North Korea.

Where To Order: Yedang - Onmyeon, literally a warm noodle soup, is a dish made with thin wheat noodles in a clear anchovy or beef broth. Yedang makes this wonderful beef bone soup that lets you experience the taste of Korea at home.ORDER HERE

Mung Bean Pancakes from Let's Eat - Food as a love language shines throughout this series as the characters connect over food. They love sharing hearty meals together, and mung bean pancakes are a very popular street food in Korea you wouldn’t want to miss out!tvN

Where To Order: Famulei - A classic holiday dish, mung bean pancakes are a highly popular street food as well.
