Put pork on fork

Betrayed by weather forecast! Said it won't rain but now it's drizzling. It is already hard enough in winter for anything to dry. Now doubt it can dry without the help of heater. Ugh!!!
Had Korean food with @cubie (thanks girl) at Chinatown. We got craving for Korean food as my pig Bro is there at the moment. Brings back a lot of good memories and food cravings like Bossam. @cubie found a place in Chinatown and off we go.
Unfortunately the Bossam was subpar. There is no special kimchi and the pork had a strong porky smell. The BBQ meat is OK but they did not serve the codiments until I asked them. 

Halfway through our meal we realise there is a strange cliental. Hardly a Korean in sight. Alarm bells rang. If we had any Korean friends they will ask us not to come as this is a tourist trap.
There is nothing more reassuring than seeing natives dining as only they can judge the authenticity. In fact we are often used by our friends as food compass. Food is more authentic with our stamp of approval. Though my stamp doesn't earn big bucks like the halal stamp.
 There is speculation that halal stamp money is used to fund terrorism.
