Koreans really want you to like their food – or at least understand it – so much that they’re giving it away. The Korean Experiential Food stand near the PIFF Pavilion not only sports a heavily laden buffet table with tasty-looking examples of local cuisine, but also an engaging young Korean man who will explain the details of the dishes, as well as the history (if you let him). Hanbok-clad women rush about, packing delicious bibimbap bowls, kim chee and noodles into takeaway trays for Korean food virgins.

Who said there’s no such thing as a free lunch?
