Food gasp!

A moment of silence for this croque monsieur sandwich I just ordered for brunch at a very recherché restaurant that I now am guessing is infested by people who typically only come to take pictures of its tastefully done shabby chic interiors and post their meals on Instagram (this madness is another story for another post) which came with ham, cheese and a layer of strawberry jam inside and a thick sprinkling of fine sugar on top.
Now, I like sugar as much as the next person but sitting down for a sandwich and finding it sweet especially when I know it's never to be sweet and biting into strawberry jam filled cheese and ham sandwich and coming out with a smear of sugar on my lips is not the brunch I expected but definitely the one I got.
This was a mistake because I know enough to have guessed beforehand that western style cuisines in Korea are created to suit their taste buds because even the spiciest potato chips are sweet, and garlic bread comes with sugar sprinkling and so this was an outcome so obvious that I wince with every bite.
Perhaps I shall only stick to Korean foods.
