My blogging hasn’t been what it used to be lately. Being busy making a living is probably the biggest reason. So I’ll at least post the places I’ve been going to while I’m out there mak…
Hongdae has plenty of great places to eat, but finding somewhere to just grab a simple meal is surprisingly hard, and it always leaves me scratching my head. If I’m drinking there’s my regular 2che…
An acquaintance of mine is the sales director at a restaurant in Hyoja-dong, so I paid a visit. I’ve lived in Seoul all this time and had only ever heard the name of the neighbourhood, never actually bee…

After leaving the tapas bar Vongo, our second stop was Nari-ui Jip, a samgyeopsal specialist tucked into an alley across the street. It’s shabby but surprisingly big. It seems to stay open late into the …
We had a foodie meetup in Itaewon. It was at Vongo, a tapas bar that used to be in Apgujeong and has since moved; I’d heard both the vibe and the food had changed, and that they now do cochinillo, roast …
