This is a post from quite a while back, so the vibe is a bit different from Angel’s Share as it is now. Yeonnam-dong has changed a lot lately with the new park. I think I am about five months behind on p…
A Thai food bar called Opas has opened in Yeonnam-dong. It’s part of the Tuk Tuk Noodle Thai and Soi Yeonnam family. I’m VIP member No. 2 and I’ve been countless times already, so I feel almo…

A get-together suddenly came up in Dongdaemun, so I headed out as soon as work was over. The place was Gyeongsangdo-jip, famous for its pork ribs grilled over charcoal briquettes. Pork ribs They use good in…
After a satisfying first round at Bona Festa, I dropped by Bar Bee, a lovely bar in Hikifune. Otoshi: ratatouille The cooking here is on a high level. It is safe to say it goes well beyond what you get at a…
