I like a double cheeseburger and a meat pizza. I would like a strawberry ice-cream, an apple and an orange juice for desserts.

Hi Ahjeen ☺
Would you be able to explain what your favourite food is in English as I'm very curious to know what 냉면 and 갈비 mean!
Best wishes, Tina (LearnEnglish Teens)

냉면 is a Korean noodle which is cold and sour. It goes along with 갈비, which is Korean version of rib. I luv them!
