Last year, right as winter was setting in, our gourmet club had a cod soup gathering at Maknae Hoe Center in Singil-dong. Which means it was already two months ago. Honestly, another blogger has written it up …
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’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…
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…

I seem to end up meeting people in Jongno a lot ^_^ Jongno has such a long history that it has far more great places to eat than other parts of town. Gangnam will probably catch up a lot in a few decades, but …
We got together in Jongno on the weekend, but hardly anything was open, so there wasn’t really anywhere obvious to go. So we headed to good old reliable Pyeongnaeok. Champagne, courtesy of a friend Lo…
At last, the September posts have begun. About 15 more and I think I can post in real time. -_- Better hurry up Samseong Guksu, a well-known spot near Samseong Station, left a deep impression on me when I visi…
