Into a New World, Bang Bang Bang: Melogold Som Sa Op

20201112, During the 2016 Ewha Womans University protests, with 1,600 police officers deployed, I heard the crowd sang Girls' Generation's #IntoANewWorld together, and I found myself mulling over the lyrics afterward. Apparently, in the protests that followed — the 6th People's Grand March denouncing the Park Geun-hye/Choi Soon-sil scandal, and the Gwanghwamun candlelight vigils after that — you could quite often hear #IntoANewWorld and #BangBangBang too. At Bangkok's #PrideParade, held just the other day, I heard #BlackPink songs playing. I don't know which song it was, but it made me think first about the context of the lyrics versus the message of the event — which, hm, does that make me an #outoftoucholdtimer? - (Since I didn't have #pomelo) peel a #melogold, break the flesh into bite-sized pieces, and lightly blanch some shrimp. - Mix the melogold flesh and shrimp with the pre-made seasoning and chopped mint leaves, toss well, and it's #yumsomo. *The seasoning is entirely #personaltaste Peanuts 1T Tamarind sauce 1T Fish sauce 1T Lime juice 1t Nam prik pao (chili paste) 1/2t Palm sugar 1t Coconut flakes 3t Fried shallots 1T
