The club barbecue came around again this spring, right on cue. The Epicure club’s spring and autumn barbecues are always an event I look forward to. Plenty of people turned up again this time. The barbe…
There are countless places in Seoul selling cake by the slice, but places where you can buy a whole cake without ordering ahead turn out to be fewer than you’d think. I put together a short list of optio…
Since I was in Yeouido anyway, I also stopped by Bread Lab, a place I’d been wanting to visit for ages. It’s a bit far from the kongguksu place, but I figured if not now then who knows when, so off…
I went over to Yeouido to meet a friend, and while we were trying to decide what to eat we ended up at Jinju Jip, the one and only nationally famous restaurant in this neighborhood. We had deliberately missed …

It was May 1st, Labour Day, and there was a lunch meetup, so I paid a visit to Molto. In April I was so busy with a project that I mostly just grabbed something simple near home, but at last I could get out to…
Gyeongseong Yangyukgwan is a yangkkochi (lamb skewer) chain with a branch in my neighborhood. I gather it started out as a famous lamb skewer place in Gyodae, and now it has turned into a chain you see everywh…
At the end of April, Shinsegae in Myeongdong hosted an event supporting small independent bakeries. It was over a month ago, so anyone interested has probably already been. These days it feels like I post less…
