I suddenly had a craving for jjajangmyeon, so I went around hunting for a place that makes it well. There are a few famous spots in Seoul, and of those I decided on Kaehwa, the easiest Chinese place to get to….
A junior colleague I’m fond of called an impromptu meetup, so off we went to Inoshishi, the izakaya everyone raves about. They built the course to fit a 50,000-won budget, and for the price the content w…
A few French restaurants have opened in the Gangnam area recently, and the best reviewed of them is La Saison. I had a lunch appointment and was wondering where to go, so we ended up here — and it was very sat…
A friend called an impromptu meetup, so I headed out to Sadang. We went to a place called Yeongilman — apparently it is a famous spot in Sadang? Makhoe The most famous thing on this place’s menu is ma…

I dropped by Tuppul Deungsim, the place everyone is raving about these days. It is really a spot you should visit in the evening, but I went at lunchtime, partly just to find out where it is. Apparently it is …
2chef is a restaurant I go to way too often, so a lot of the content overlaps and it feels awkward to split it into separate posts. So I’m going to gather them up by quarter and put them out together. ^_^ It m…
