Wow, I never thought I would accidently taste MSG in Chinese food. I thought as health conscious as Korea is, they would have eliminated the use of MSG. I thought wrong.
In Incheon, I had some bomb Mapo Tofu/ 麻破豆腐 (That's right; I know Chinese too!)/ 마보도푸밥 and it was okay, but I had some sort of egg drop soup with it and it tasted a little bland. At first, I accidently added a dash of vinegar (which could have also done it to me X_x) and then I added some soy sauce.
Well it didn't improve the blandness after the vinegar; it made it inedible. However, that did not stop me from trying to make a fool of myself. I decided to eat it anyways. I promptly paid for the meal (which I was feeling fine then) and left.
Afterwards, I started goofing around on Facebook and I was commenting on someone's Facebook account (because when I am off I either go to Seoul or stay at home) and then I noticed that my stomach started to feel weird--like sick weird. On top of it, I started to feel really drowsy so I went to bed. I woke up and now I feel fine, but it'd be nice if there was a disclaimer located somewhere that says: "Warning, we use MSG!" Eat at your own risk! I feel fine right now, but earlier I thought I was gonna hurl! Since I do not eat product with MSG on a regular basis, the Chinese soy sauce made me feel like I became bloated and then kicked in the stomach.
