Today as I was walking into h mart to buy 반찬 ban chan, I shed a tear to old memories.
During high school times, my sister and I had some rough time in our lives living with family less loving compare to our own in Korea.
I remember us going into Korean restaurant. we were so poor that we couldn't order entree but could not stop our craving for Korean food that we asked restaurant owner if we could just order rice and little dishes of ban chan 반찬 for one person and that we would share that small portion. 반찬 is small dishes of traditional Korean food that Korean restaurants serve when people order entree.
Owner was nice enough to bring us many dishes and soup and we were very grateful and we walked out belly full.
For that generosity we visited separately and ordered many entrees while bringing our friends.
