Seoul Trip, Day Two
After going all out on the first day, I woke up in the morning feeling absolutely terrible. I’ve been doing strength training lately and eating a high-protein diet, so after pouring that much alcohol dow…

It’s not marked on the calendar, but in Japan there’s a holiday around August 15 that’s a lot like Korea’s Chuseok. With nowhere in particular to go during that break, I dropped by Kore…
I had a business trip to Korea at the end of May. It was a very short trip, so I didn’t have much time and couldn’t really fit in any good restaurants, but on a weekend morning I carved out a littl…
After lunch at Hanilgwan, I went to Guillaume, a French bakery that’s apparently the hot new thing in this neighborhood. The place is famous for bread said to be almost exactly what you’d get in Fr…

Maknae Hoe Center in Singil-dong is an old regular haunt of mine. Though I can’t really call myself a regular, since I don’t manage to go that often. I wanted sandfish, a winter delicacy, and while…
This is my second time at Il Cipriani. I don’t usually go back to the same restaurant twice, but this place is handy whenever I have plans near Jongno, so I ended up visiting again. It’s easy to ge…
