Cheongeoram has been doing business in Mangwon-dong for ages (apparently it did pretty well for itself, too), and lately it has become a talking point among bloggers and foodies. As the Hongdae commercial dist…
I had something to take care of in Samcheong-dong, so I booked a restaurant nearby. A Table is a very well-known place. These days I tend to go only to places that have already proven themselves. Seeking out n…
Work was crazy busy last fall, to the point that even my regular food outings were in danger. So I figured I’d at least call a meetup near home, and we went to Ozen, a well-reviewed Japanese restaurant i…
These are photos I took one autumn night while wandering around downtown Seoul on a whim. Autumn is so short these days that I wanted to keep something to remember it by. Not sure if they’re any good, I&…
I’ve got loads of posts I want to get up quickly, but with drinking sessions and work every single day it’s been really hard to find time. I just need to set aside one day, but that one day never c…

I wasn’t feeling great over the weekend and was just lying around, but I headed out to the Han River for a little while. Maybe because I’ve been overdoing it lately, I’ve been under the weath…
One day I happened to have some business in Cheongdam-dong, so while I was there I dropped by L’atelier Monique, which had just opened nearby. They were advertising that a Japanese “king of bread&#…
