Wine is really cheap in Japan. I bought a few bottles to share with friends, and while I was looking for a place to drink them, I heard there was a spot near Gangnam Station with free corkage, so I dropped by….
Over the last Chuseok holiday I came to Korea for a visit, for the first time in almost seven months. Someone I’m on friendly terms with seemed glad to see me back in Korea after so long and insisted on …
Daemunjeom is a place in Yeongdeungpo famous for its ohyang jangyuk (five-spice braised pork) and boiled dumplings. We headed straight over after Yangui Jip. When we walked in, it was packed, as you’d ex…
I went with a friend to Yangui Jip (literally “the Sheep’s House”), a cheap lamb place in Yeongdeungpo. Maybe it’s because I’ve been feeling run down, but I keep craving hearty, r…

I went with a friend to Il Cipriani, the Italian restaurant in the Shinsegae Department Store main store. I’d heard rumors that it tops the list of Korean Italian restaurants for value for money, so I we…
I went back to Korea for the Chuseok holidays, and as luck would have it there was a gizzard shad meetup at Maknae, a place I used to go to a lot. Really I should have organized a welcome-home meetup myself, b…
