A landlady in Bengaluru prepared a Korean side dish as a welcome gift for her tenant. She stored it in the fridge for them to enjoy after moving in.
Imagine shifting into a new home as a tenant, too tired to even drink a glass of water from the kitchen. Surprisingly, you find your favourite dish in the fridge. What will be your reaction? Well, something similar happened to a tenant in Bengaluru. At a time when landlords in the city are being criticised for demanding exorbitant rents, a woman has won hearts for her gift to her tenant. The woman, who was about to sublet her apartment, thought of giving her tenant a delicious welcome gift. She prepared a kilo of Kimchi, a traditional Korean side dish and kept it inside the refrigerator for her tenant to relish. The woman has gained attention on Twitter for all the right reasons.
Kimchi is a traditional Korean delicacy. It is a side dish made up of fermented and salted vegetables. The dish contains napa cabbage or Korean radish. Kimchi is garnished with a variety of seasonings like garlic, ginger, gochugaru, spring onions, and jeotgal.
As soon as the Twitter user uploaded a picture of the kimchi she prepared, the post went viral. She captioned the image, “I made 1kg batch of kimchi and kept it in the fridge for my tenant before subletting my apartment to him. (Is there a best landlord award I can apply for)”

In a similar incident, another Twitter user from Bengaluru praised her landlord for his sweet gestures. She said that her landlord often treats her and her roommate to milkshakes and iced coffees.

Juice, cold drinks, shakes and this time, he brought cold coffee for us. Bhgwan aisa landlord sbko de (may God give everyone a landlord like this).”
