Jim's Korea

Miscommunication can creep up anywhere.

Koreans are crazy about coffee shops. You will find one on every back street and corner.

However, Koreans usually opt for whitener powder rather than actual cream. Occassionally, I do see liquid cream in a poreclain pitcher but not too often. Only once have I seen a creamer. Usually, I receive whitener when I request cream. In this case, the server interpreted it as whipped cream that is used to top off a flavoured coffee like capuccino. After Sunmi clarified my request, I did receive cream for my coffee.
