Free Cafe
I’ve been going to coffeeshops and places to be outside of home and doing some work, but they all require something to be bought, which has been either caffeine or more calorie consumption. And then the free places like parks usually don’t have any seating.
And then I found the H Mart food court outdoor seating, which is quite dirty looking (but the indoor option is pretty clean), but other than that it’s air conditioned indoors, can get sunlight outdoors, and the entire place has been so dead since covid that no one is enforcing “seating is for customers only” rules, (except lunch hours probably) and you can get Wi-Fi from the next door Cafe Mooi.. it’s perfect for afternoons.
This banner says Mondays but they actually close on Mondays 
there’s like 3 inkjet printers on this corner of the coffeeshop as well as suspicious green bottles that you might think are soju but are actually Perrier. What’s going on in this corner anwyay -.- 
BBQ Ranch Chicken Flatbreads 
crazy how this dried chunk of chicken and peppers can look so good with fresh tomatoes and cilantro -
Roast Duck Red Curry
I’m not sure why the restaurant menu put this curry under the “Side Orders” category. but it was great.

Chicken Ramen
Chicken Ramen in a Shoyu-Style Broth with Mushrooms, Chili Garlic Oil & Crispy Onions
i finished eating it, thinking “it’s good.. it’s good.. not sure it’s worth paying $8 extra on top of the $10 for each portion”
and then I saw the spinach that I forgot to cook sitting on the dish rack
Leftovers. This farro-enoki mushroom bowl with leftover meats from past eat-outs was so good.. so many spices and flavors and it was warm, and crunchy thanks to the mini peppers.
The Udon package was sad. I cooked the broth, then thought “if I put the udon noodles in the pot, and then pour on the bowl, it can spill. So I’m gonna put the noodles in the bowl, and pour broth over it.. yay lazy.” But the broth apparently was not hot enough to separate out the noodles or to make it hot-warm enough.. it was just warm. Enough to eat, but a bit more warm would have been nicer.
