Walkerhill gomtang

It’s good..

Gogitjip doenjang-jjigae jjageulmyeon

It’s just an ordinary doenjang ramyeon. Not really sure what makes it a meat house..

Soy milk suanlatang noodles I brought back from Japan

It’s good.

Korea University apple jam pastry

It’s just about edible. There is plenty of apple jam in there, but it doesn’t feel like it was cooked down much.

Strawberry jam mammoth bread

Chilling a mammoth bread in the fridge really doesn’t do the bread any favors..

Baek Jong-won’s gogi jjamppong

Spicy.. franchises do chase after a mass-market flavor, after all.. these days you live longer by steering clear of franchises..

Euljiro ramyeon fried rice

Hmm.. it’s a bit iffy..

Kawasaki’s soul food, Ganso New Tantanmen, the bagged instant version

The noodles are instant so you shouldn’t get your hopes up, but the soup is very close. Beat in an egg and add more garlic and it’d be perfect, I’d say..

Reese’s Nutrageous

This chocolate bar is from the Hershey family. Take a bite and it’s all sweet-and-salty plus the nutty richness of peanuts. You could fairly call it the taste of America.. Normally it’s the kind of flavor you might find excessive, but eat one after riding about 100km on a bike and it’s pure heaven. Lately I’ve been doing rides along the Han River, so I’ve been buying them by the box.
