K-popped! Around the World
Whenever we travel, we get very excited when we discover Korean influences in the simplest form. For example, we were so excited to discover that Pizza Hut in Bali, Indonesia served bulgogi-flavoured pizza. When we walk around Petaling Jaya or Kuala Lumpur (in Malaysia) we are always on the lookout for Korean stuff too! Sometimes, we hunt down Korean-related things, such as that ‘lil excursion we had to Koreatown in Ampang, Malaysia! Join our K-popped! Around the World Project Now, we’re curious about Korean influences in your neck of the woods.
