Pasta is something that’s filling and Minho has a full personality ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Minho-yah, another year older, another year closer to my age ㅋㅋㅋ You’re aging well, I hope you’ve had a good birthday and are celebrating it well. Don’t do anything I wouldn’t.

Oh, how funny that a birthday message would require a food that reminds me of you ^^ ah, hyung my hotdog hyung, happy birthday. you know i never really got to think much more thoroughly why you're hotdog hyung besides that you're long like one and it's kind of a friend to the hamburger (since you call me that). But I'd like to think hot dogs, besides being long, taste good and they're usually an array of food mixed together— Which is sort of like you. You're someone who's not just one thing; your personality is a mash of traits. So charismatic, kind, sweet, funny and silly— You're talented and handsome, and so much more. I think that's the best way I can describe a comparison between the both of you. But before I ramble on some more, I want to wish you a happy birthday and let you know, i will always be thankful for your guidance and friendship. You truly are a hyung I can look up to well ^^ thank you for that. I love you, hotdog hyung !

... chicken stew? nope, it's just chicken! maybe you're wondering why i chose chicken (maybe you're not – then that's awkward), and my answer is:

well, why not?

fried chicken is the blood and bones of us fire signs, so eat well! in a way, i think hyung is like a fried chicken: crispy on the outside, tender on the inside.  i'm gonna rethink this message through.

congratulations on another year of blessing the earth and making the world a better place. i think you're someone who makes the world go round. we're all very lucky to have someone like you in our lives, and i mean this from the bottom of my heart.

thank you for who you are, and what you have become. i'm grateful to have ever known you, and to be considered your friend, your baby brother, and your son. you're wonderful, full of excellence, vibrance, brilliance, and spark. all at once, you're the lightning in the skies, the greens on the earth, the shark in the calm waters and the rainbow in the rain. i love you and i'll always support you. i'll always be behind or beside you; wherever and whenever you need me, just call on me.

happy birthday and enjoy some fried chicken, yeah? you're a king, so dine like one on this special occasion!

a food that reminds me of you is lasagna! it has a lot of layers and seems pretty complex-- kind of like you! you may seem intimidating and hard on the outside, but when you cut into it, it's just a bunch of melty gooey cheese, also much like you! ㅋㅋㅋ and then again, who doesn't like lasagna? you're welcome to all social events, and honestly whenever somebody brings lasagna, it's the highlight of the whole party.

thank you for everything that you do. thank you for your friendship, your support, your strength and your positive energy. you're such an amazing being and the world wouldn't be the same without you. i haven't said it as much as i should, which is a shame on me, but as much as i rip on you, i love you with my whole heart! have a happy happy birthday! ♡

お誕生日おめでとう、ミンホくん！(つ≧▽≦)つ

If you were a food, you would totally be a freshly baked and the sweetest, fluffiest strawberry shortcake! I know you’re not exactly short (笑) but somehow the dessert reminds me of your down-to-earth and gentle nature. Also, with the way you treat the people around you ー always caring, soft and an overall sweetheart (´｡• ᵕ •｡`) Your presence is very warm, too and I know for sure that whenever people get a chance to interact with you, their days have become brighter … just like how desserts work by giving everyone a happy and satisfied tummy (๑˃ᴗ˂)ﻭ

Thank you for always being so kind to me and for keeping up with the times I’ve become so random that I’m probably a pain in the butt (笑) I’m really thankful for your presence and so soooo lucky I got to know you. Another year of Minho-presence has been granted to us and we’re truly blessed to have you in this world! Wishing you all the best and in my own little way, I’ll definitely support you. You can always count on me!

Happy birthday again and eat lots on your special day (and every day!)

Xoxo,

THE FOREVER HAPPY FOUNTAIN OF TEARS DEDICATED TO CHOI MINHO ー Natsuki °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖°

So! What food does oppa remind me of? The first thing that came to mind was carrots!

Kibum oppa said carrots are bland BUT THEY'RE NOT, are they? No, no, no. They are Sweet~! (ꈍ ꒳ ꈍ✿)

Just like you.

Also they are Healthy and tend to be Long, and those attributes apply to you too. ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

What color do we associate with carrots? Orange. Oppa is orange too! Why? Because orange is a combination of yellow and red; yellow being Brightness and Warmth and Happiness and red being Passion. Everyone knows Choi Minho is F I L L E D, absolutely BRIMMING with all of that!
＼＼\(۶ ᐛ )۶//／／

And last but not least, carrots are good for your eyes... (˵ ͡o ͜ʖ ͡o˵) guess what else is good for your eyes. Handsome Choi Minho, is what.
( ͡◉ ͜ʖ ͡◉)

Happiest Happy Birthday, oppa! I hope this new year of your life is filled with more love and laughter than you can handle! And of course, great health~  (❁´◡`❁)

Enjoy your special day!!

to the hyung and senior with a big heart... 생일 축하해요! we had the chance to talk about a lot in such a short time and i feel that if you were a food, you would be something warm and filling— like fresh sticky buns? ㅎ when you think about adding that to a stew, it doesn't sound all that appetizing, but! what can you do—! it's a classic dessert that many people love, and so i think it suits you even more.

i hope that on this special day of yours, you'll receive the same amount of love that you seem to give everyone around you and then even more.

and, ah... please don't really make a stew with sticky buns. eat them afterwards!

민호 오빠 reminds me of dumplings and apple pie. you'd think, what kind of correlation is there. ha, i'll tell you! both of these dishes are pretty much dough with filling. can be seen as absolute comfort food. you see dumplings, you see apple pie - and you just want to stuff yourself. making them is easy, too. now, before i end up making this a recipe recital— ㅋㅋ

he's warm, he's easy to find, he's comforting, you just want to surround yourself with him. that's minho. just like dumplings or apple pie, you can't get enough of his presence. i have never met a person as kind as him before. he's there for you unconditionally, will listen and soothe your worries. even though i didn't get to spend a lot of time with him due to our busy schedules, i always knew i could rely and count on him. that all aside, he's not only a wonderful personality in real life, but on stage as well. his presence is astonishing. you see him, he's a puppy. then you see him on stage and he's this ethereal prince. so talented and powerful. all in one, you could say! ㅋㅋ

to bring an end to my blabbering; happy birthday, minho! i truly hope your wishes get granted. i want you to have a lovely day, week, month and life. i wish you much luck, happiness, health and success. please don't ever forget about your little iseul-ie because know that you have a place in her heart forever. ♥

to this tall, handsome guy with a personality even more so. i want to thank you for everything -- i feel like at any celebration, i should be thanking you. you're such an important and irreplaceable part of so many people's lives, including mine, and because of those two very particular qualities, i think of you as rice. the most important part of every meal, and i absolutely cannot live without it.

If you were a dish, you’d be raw octopus..... why? because you’re always alive & hopping, so competitive that you’re not dead until it’s really the end! Happy birthday!!! May all your wishes come true. :-)

민호야, HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
To my favorite fashion show/award show/movie premiere partner in crime, I hope you have the most wonderful birthday today!

As an aspiring cook, I'll be preparing a salted caramel apple galette for you! I've been submerging myself in French cuisine lately and this pastry treat is perfect for the winter months! Just like you, it's warm and sweet. I hope you enjoy it with the rest of your dishes and stew!

For all these years, thank you for never failing to make me laugh and for always being there for me. Never forget that I will always be there for you, as well. Make sure you're getting plenty of rest and staying hydrated! Noona loves and supports you!

It's the time of the year huh hyung? Finally your birthday. Time flies by.

The food you remind me of? This is easy. Frog legs. I don't need to explain to you why, huh? Haven't tried those but I bet it's delicious.

Hyung you're so sweet honestly and you deserve only good things. I still use your marathon meme. Your competitive side is hilarious to me. And have I ever told you that I love your acting? Yes I did. I'm still not over "to the beautiful you." Love that drama. And only a legend rocks two minutes of screen time in a movie like you did. You pulled of crazy. And I think that's beautiful. I stan till the end.

Also I'm still sad that you weren't at the Halloween party to see how Mark and I did Conan characters like you did. We are your legacy. Love us.

Happy birthday hyung. You better invite me to cake and your party.

Happy Birthday to the most amazing sunbae of all time!

It took me a while to think of a kind of food you would be but after going through several different options I finally decided on a salmon avocado poke bowl! It's refreshing, delicious, always beautifully presented which means they're pleasing to the eyes and it always feels like you're treating yourself to something special when you get one.
Just like being around you makes everyone feel special. The way you treat the people close to you amazes me every time. It's impossible to talk to you without having the biggest smile on your face. You're so attentive and caring and well mannered and cheerful and supportive and just simply amazing in every single way. You brighten up everyone's life and you certainly became a role model to me because of that.

I hope you know this but I really want to become like you some day. Sometimes I still can't believe that I actually get the chance to talk to you and hang out with you like we sometimes do. I must've really done something right in my past life to be this lucky now!

I wish for you to get everything nice in this world because that's truly what you deserve. Even if there might be some gloomy days please don't forget how beautiful you are and how loved you are from so many people not only close to you but also from all around the world! Of course my love for you will always be a little diffrent because you're my Gai Sensei and that makes it all a little more special.

I hope you have an amazing day and can start the next year of your life happy!

Thank you for being in my life!
