We are watching Lost, right? Loving Yunjin Kim, as always, and you knew that Korean food is a rising restaurant food trend didn’t you? Yeah, I knew you knew.

Yunjin by-the-way, loves her veggies, chicken, fish and fresh fruit and she is on the new way of eating bandwagon - small, frequent meals. Yay Yunjin! You can add chocolate and ice cream as her fave treats but she tries to watch how much and how often.
