A taste of the OG Korean food, grandmamas cooking. Halmuni(s), the Korean word for grandmother, are known once for the depth and flavor of their food and renown again for the hospitality they extend to those that sit down to have their meals. .
Halmuni will wake up at 4AM to prepare your breakfast, cooking a ridiculous amount of food at an incredibly fast pace. Halmunis have been known to cook no less than nine (9) dishes to welcome you home and will often cook closer to 50 dishes, tapas style.
This loving desire to see that you have eaten your fill has spurred the phrase, which literally means to set the food with so much food, the tables legs will give way. .
Give halmuni a kiss on the cheek and while youre at it, give your diet a kiss goodbye as well. .
