To say that I’m a sucker for marketing would be an understatement. I am a marketer’s dream. I buy things on spur of the moment desires. I see what she has, I want it, I buy it (well, within reason). Sometimes, I even buy stuff because I see the package and I like the package. I don’t even know WTF is inside! It’s ridiculous. So you can imagine how difficult it is for me to have a constant stream of can’t-live-without items flowing through my social media channels and even worse, must-have-right-now foods.
I’m constantly crushing hard on what everyone else is having, while I half heartedly tuck into my own meal (I know, first world problems). But occasionally, I have the ingredients at home to make the same thing and voilร ! Instant gratification to the max.
Earlier this week, Rosa tweeted her kimchijeon lunch. And then guess what I had for lunch! Luckily, I had some kimchi in the fridge (since I discovered the kimchi and quinoa golden combination) and everything else you need is stock standard pantry stuff.
I love it when a plan comes together!
Kimchijeon (kimchi pancake) |

Serves 1 or served as a shared dish. |
Recipe fromย Maangchi
Love me some kimchijeon! Also like adding some seafood into the mix or thin strips of pork belly while it’s being cooked like okonomiyaki.
Yes!! I didn’t have any fresh seafood on hand so I added some fish balls hehe ๐
LOL I’m exactly the same! Such an impulse buyer. I take it to the extreme. I need help
Well what d’ya know!! Got all the ingredients on hand ๐ Awesome! Will be having this for lunch one day, very soon! Thank YOU!!

Sharlene: Yayyyyyyyy do it! It will take you all of 5 mins. Super easy!

I love impulse buys! And I totally buy stuff because they’re packaged nicely.. in fact that’s how I choose wines to buy for my parents. Nice bottles always win! ๐
Kimchi pancakes – I love it! What a great idea (I’m a marketers dream as well – just like you)
These looks great…but i think i’m the only person in the world that doesn’t LOVE kimchi. My brother and his kids eat buckets loads of kimchi all the time!
Lorraine: Hahah, aren’t we all ๐
Su-yin: Oh I KNOW! I love pretty bottled alcohol and I don’t even drink any of it really hahaha.
