Lately, I've been craving Kkanpung Shrimp. It's battered shrimp that's fried and then smothered in a thick, sticky, sweet sauce. It's a dish that's served only at Korean-Chinese restaurants. I've tried ordering it at Chinese restaurants, but their version can never satisfy my craving. I like to order a bowl of Jajang Myun (noodles in black bean sauce) with the Kkanpung Shrimp, and, ohhhh yeah, I always leave with a happy tummy!

Candy & Snack Review -

SHOP Onion Rings Funyuns was one of my favorite snacks growing up as a kid. Even though it's said to be onion flavored rings, it really doesn't taste anything like onion but more like salt. Ok, maybe that's a little too harsh, but after tasting Nongshim's version of a onion ring snack, you will have to agree. This Korean version is much more savory and actually tastes like onion. It's not nearly as salty as Funyuns, but just enough so the snack doesn't lose its onion taste while still tasting savory. After discovering Nongshim's onion flavored rings, I don't think I'll ever crave Funyuns again....

Vietnamese BBQ Shrimp Vermicelli with Fish Sauce (Bun Tom Heo Nuong) is one of my all time favorite Vietnamese dish. I especially love it on a hot summer day. Bun Tom Heo Nuong is a cold rice noodle dish topped with lots of veggies, crushed peanuts, and bbq shrimp. Everything is mixed together using a fish sauce. Ok, I have to admit, I was not a fan of fish sauce the first time I was introduced to it. A whiff of its repelling, pungent fishy smell was strong enough to prevent me from even tasting it. But after eating at Vietnamese...
