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: 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

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
