Harugyeongwa (Daily Nut)

Something I have been mulling over lately is whether premium nuts can work as a drinking snack, and after buying a few and eating them.. it seems they need at least a bit of salt on them to qualify. Eating them plain is surely better for your health, though.

Sundae Sillok

Pretty tasty. They really do know what they are doing..

Tofu jumbo dumplings (dubu wanggyoja)

I like tofu to begin with, and these were good.

A donut I bought because someone said it was good

It is just ordinary, no?

This one was also supposed to be good, so I bought it to mark Pepero Day..

It is a bit rich and greasy. There was no real reason to go out and buy it..

Hershey’s chocolate, Cookies ‘n’ Mint flavour

The nice thing about Hershey’s chocolate is that no matter what they rearrange it into, it still tastes like Hershey’s chocolate. Even when it is not good, it at least tastes like Hershey’s. Anyway, it was decent enough.

Sagol kkoma manduguk (mini dumpling soup in beef-bone broth)

It was just so-so..

I’m DAK

It is the corn flavour, and this is the one where the savouriness really explodes. It was good enough that I often warmed it in the microwave for a snack.

Chef Kouji’s crispy tonkatsu

I bought it because it said Chef Kouji, but it turned out to be menchi-katsu, not tonkatsu.. at this point I have to wonder whether it counts as fraud..

Perilla miyeokguk, seaweed soup

It was fine for a quick, simple meal.

Gunsan jjamppong

Historically, jjamppong apparently turned red thanks to the ethnic-Chinese merchants of Gunsan.. anyway, it had a nice sharp heat and was pretty good. Regional ramyun holds up just fine too.

Makgeolli Zero..

Hmm.. it is just so-so..

Peter Luger steak

Hold on, Peter Luger steak is being sold at Homeplus, and on sale at that??

This is what is inside

Honestly the meat was really tough and I could not feel a single shred of a connection to Peter Luger, but the sauce is good. I looked it up and Peter Luger sauce is sold separately. My recommendation is to just grill a steak yourself and buy the Peter Luger sauce on its own to pour over it.
