KPOT Korean BBQ & Hot Pot (Overland Park, KS)

 


We love Korean BBQ.

Like I literally can have it everyday if we can.

But for the first time we had HOTPOT.

I have been obsessed with soups/ramen anything of that kind these days.

So this was perfect for me.



We went for lunch this time.
..And I think it was the best time.
It was still pretty busy though!

It was a bit of a drive for us.
But, I tell you.. It was so worth it.





You sit in and then you can start ordering your drinks.
They have a device for you to order.
How much ever you want.
It was amazing!



We ordered a lot of Hotpot stuff and Grilled stuff.



We also had Peach Soju too it was so good!



The soup was pretty good!
I picked a bit of the spicy one but the kick was so good!



Cheers!



Of course, 
My favorite way to eat Samgyupsal.

I cannot wait to come back again.

I highly recommend 10/10

Beef Caldereta

 

I don't think I'll ever get tired of making this Or eating this.
I could eat this everyday if I can.

It reminds me so much of home. 
The Mama, Tita and Lola always makes it better. 
But since I can't have theirs,
I'll have to cook it my own.







We also made some Dumplings to eat with it.
It was perfect.
The soy sauce with chillies was a cherry on top!











Let me know what you guys think!!

KC Pumpkin Patch




For this year,
We decided to go somewhere else,
somewhere new for Pumpkin patch.

I'm kinda glad we did.
We went to KC Pumpkin Patch.
It was a bit of a drive and it was so busy,
Parking was a bit complicated.
But other than that it was fun!



Just by entering you will see a lot of cute fall stuff.



First thing you can do is order drinks or food which was nice!
I got to enjoy this boozy apple cider.
It was so refreshing!



Lots of picture opts for everyone,
And tons of things to do for the kids.

The boys had a great time.

..And I enjoyed all of the treats!



It is indeed wonderful time of the year.
