Pyeongyang Myeonok, Jangchung-dong
Before I travel abroad I always stop by the duty free shops. If you time the regular sales right, you can pick up decent fashion items cheaper than at an outlet. (Scored again this time -_-v. June and December…

There are plenty of Chinese restaurants in Yeonnam-dong, right next to Hongdae, and since they taste good for the price I eat at them pretty often. Ipum, though, is a bit far to walk to from Hongdae, so I neve…
I do like single malts, but I am not really one for hard liquor, and yet somehow I ended up throwing a hard-liquor gathering. Mi Piace has hosted a Balvenie single malt tasting before, and this time too they p…
As the weather heats up, occasions to go out for samgyetang start coming around. Jiho Hanbang Samgyetang sits in the alley of seolleongtang and haejangguk houses in Sinsa-dong. It isn’t especially famous…
If Seoul has Noryangjin Market, then Incheon has the Yeonan Pier fish market. Incheon does have the sea and a harbour, but unlike the South Sea or Gangwon-do, the fish here isn’t any fresher than at Nory…

I heard a churros specialty shop had opened in Hongdae, so I went to take a look. I’m not really the type who loves the overpriced churros you get at amusement parks or movie theaters, but when I heard t…
Something came up, so I spent a bit of the weekend over in Sunchang, Jeollabuk-do. I searched for good restaurants nearby, but nearly all of them were hanjeongsik places (Korean full-course set meals). So I ju…
A friend told me a good jingisukan place had opened in Hongdae, and one thing led to another, so I ended up going several times -_-. Apparently it was a famous place in Ilsan, and business went so well that th…
