"Jack in the Box" = "Healthy Meal in the Box" in Korea

You're hungry. But you don't feel like leaving the house.  Maybe you're curled up in a blanket sipping hot cocoa, eating some Ferrero Rochers (one of my absolute favorites) and watching a movie, maybe you have company and it'd be too difficult to gather everyone and go to a restaurant, or maybe you just don't want to be seen as a loner, eating alone in public.  Regardless of the reason,  you want food without stepping a foot out the door.

SOLUTION

Korea is extremely good when it comes to food delivery.  While driving or walking around the streets, you'll see or almost get run over by guys on mopeds zooming by with boxes latched on the back.  What's in the box?  
This:

nom nom :]


So basically, you dial the number, tell them your address, what you want (sometimes there's a minimum amount you have to spend, but most of the time it doesn't really matter...not to mention delivery is FREE!)

And then after about 20 minutes, you get one of these outside your door.
Open it up...
saran wrap sealed...this is soup btw
and this is my meal....불고기 덥밥 aka bulgogi on rice with vegetables. mmmm yummyyy AND convenient!
and a neatly organized assortment of side dishes :] yay!

After you eat, throw everything back in the tub and leave it outside the door!  Voila! Clean, easy, convenient and DELICIOUS! :D
