What do you have to eat?

Why this spelling

This romanisation is not the spelling copied letter by letter. It is built from the National Institute of Korean Language’s Revised Romanization, which writes what the word sounds like once the sounds next to each other have changed it.

When you would say it

Asks for the food-with-drink section specifically, which is often a separate page or a separate part of the wall.

Why food keeps arriving, and where the night goes

You are expected to order food with drink. Not as a courtesy to the shop — though it is that too — but because drinking without food is regarded as a slightly worrying thing to do. The food ordered for this purpose has its own name, anju, and its own menu section.

Card number 45 of the book

The guidebook prints these as numbered cards, so you can hold up a number instead of trying to pronounce it. The Korean edition comes with it and has the same numbers in the same places.
