A roundup of the quick, simple things I ate.

Sukiya’s menma + chili oil gyudon

This one was pretty tasty. Some people can’t handle menma, but I like menma and I like chili oil, so..

Veggie sundae (Korean blood sausage)

It made a great late-night snack. But I can’t remember where I bought it, so I haven’t managed to get another one.

Odeng

I’ve bought and tried plenty of odeng (Korean fish cake), and Samho seems like the best to me, but is there a better choice out there?

Soft-boiled eggs

I saw a six-minute recipe on YouTube and gave it a go, but it looks like they need a little longer. Next time I’ll try six and a half minutes..

These days they’re making plant-based ramyeon..

The flavor is clean.

Jjawang non-fried noodles

People say they’re good.. but I couldn’t really tell the difference.. if anything I buy them because the portion is small..

Oil sardines

This is what they look like out of the jar.

Gwamegi (half-dried saury)

Somewhere, as a drinking snack..

Moktae (dried pollack)

The kind of thing you naturally end up eating when you’re in Korea..

A sundaeguk place in Cheongdam

The taste is nothing special, but it’s open 24 hours so it’s packed.

Sundaeguk like this

It’s a fair amount of food for a second-round stop. Better to come when you’re actually hungry.

Gochujang jjigae noodles

Well.. so-so..

Orange juice

This is b. patisserie in Garosu-gil.

Open sandwich

This kind of thing seems to be popular these days..

Whole drumstick curry

It was surprisingly good, and the drumstick was meaty too. I’d buy it again..

Majangmyeon

I can’t really tell what it does better than jjajangmyeon..

KFC Zinger burger

Junky.

Chicken nanban

I think this was lunch at a place in Hamamatsucho called Keishu.. the portions are substantial. It tastes good too, so it was always popular at lunchtime.
