My favorite dish
My favorite dish is yakiniku!!!! I love eating meat
LOL. Yakiniku is very popular food in Japan. So I often eat it. We can eat
meats and vegetables!!! This dish is good for children at that stage when they
have insatiable appetites. And we can eat this dish with many people at the
same time so we are enjoyed in the time. But it has a bad point. It is smell!
After we ate yakiniku, we have a bad smell because when we eat yakiniku, we
produce billows of smoke. So the smell sticks to our clothes. After we eat
yakiniku, we should deodorize the smell. In Korea, Yakiniku is called
"bulgogi". I have never eaten bulgogi so I want to eat it!!! (123/1922 words)
