This depends heavily on budget, time and personality. The 9-minute rule is underrated.

I get the appeal, though I would be careful calling it the best option. My friend tried it in Buenos Aires and had the opposite result. This would be a great classroom example.

Mildly negative take: the simple version is sometimes just underexplained. This pairs weirdly well with bibimbap.
