A Japanese friend invited me and one of her close friends to her place. Too bad I forgot to bring my cellphone so I couldn’t share some photos. Indeed, cold weather is the best time to eat nabe and it becomes more delicious if you eat it together with people dear to you. There are lots of nabe “flavors”. One of them is Kimchi, but we got the “Bijin Nabe”. Bijin (美人) is a Japanese term for “beautiful woman”. Really interesting flavor, isn’t it?
I really had a wonderful time with those two ladies and we even made a promise - they’re going home with me next year, to experience “Paskong Pinoy”!
