Following Sambaekjip, Hyundaiok, another famous gukbap place from Jeonju, has opened a branch in Sinsa-dong. Kongnamul gukbap (bean sprout soup with rice) is not that spectacular a dish, so I have no idea why …

I went out to Anagoya for a get-together, and something about the mood felt off. When I arrived, this is what greeted me.. Traditional liquors from the Namdo region Club member Nok-x-jang-x brought along tr…
Nadeulmok, on the road that climbs the hill on the opposite side of Garosu-gil in Sinsa-dong, is a very ordinary restaurant I have been going to for a long time. The name is so generic that even a search could…
