There are several birthday celebrations that are highly valued in Korean culture, like America, certain ages mark big milestones in your life. There's your sweet 16, the legal 18, the drinking 21 and the hilling 50. My newborn cousin just had his "100 day celebration" (백일) this past Sunday and it really brought me back to when my brother had his. It was first time meeting my new cousin and he is precious. As over-used that word is towards any infant...he was a really good baby (I mean how bad can they get?)
Classic dished in Korea for any birthday are 미역국 (miyeok guk), also known as seaweed soup. It is usually prepared with fish broth but my family is far too kind and whipped me up a vegan one AND organized a massive vegan spread...
Who's a lucky lady?~
