Seafood Soup and Cockles Bibimbap at Yeonnam Sikdang 연안식당

Image
Seafood soup from yeonnam sikdang 연안식당. It’s the best thing to have in Korea on a frigid day. I think Korea does not get enough credit for their seafood, especially their soups. The daikon radish in the broth just adds something that is light, sweet yet not over powering. The leeks and watercress also add a bit of freshness as well. This soup had clams, red scallops and much more. The restaurant is also famous for their bibimbap made with cockles, chilies, green onions and buchu which is like a chive, but not. If you add some of their special sesame oil it makes it amazing. This restaurant has branches all over but I am a fan of the Mangwon one because the owners are nice.

Pale Ales and American Pizza @devilsdoor

Pale Ales and American Pizza @devilsdoor.official great atmosphere but it is reminiscent of old school Korean hofs in neon. Beer is good, not as great as @magpiebrewing or @galmegibrewing or @nomadicbrewingco but it is a different style of beer for a different palatte. Pizza was thin crust and loaded with fresh toppings. Not a huge pizza but it is essentially a beer snack. Oh, no beer snacks like popcorn, nuts or other stuff. Not complaining, just can't believe they could get away with it for the price. It's conveniently located at IFC mall in Yeouido. #craftbeer #수제맥주 #seouleats #koreafood #foodporn #love #instagood #beautiful #food #korea #instafood #instatravel #travelgram  #goodeats #foodblogger #푸드스타그램 #맛스타그램 #맛있어 #좋아요 #냠냠 #데일리 #맞팔 #데일리 #맛있다 #먹스타그램 #피자 #pizza  Sent from my iPhone

Top Grade Korean Beef at Woo Rae Oak’s first store

Image
Had a glorious Korean Hanwoo Beef experience at the original @woolaeoak in Seoul, Korea. The marbling and flavor of the ribs was transcendent. The kimchi and salad sides were not too salty or sour so they did not outshine the star: beef. Had the bulgogi after which was fine. Finishing the whole meal off with Pyeongyang-style #naengmyeon made it complete. Amazing. 4stars. #seouleats #koreafood #foodporn #love #instagood #beautiful #food #korea #instafood #instatravel #travelgram  #goodeats #foodblogger #푸드스타그램 #맛스타그램 #맛있어 #좋아요 #냠냠 #데일리 #맞팔 #데일리 #맛있다 #먹스타그램 [Naver Map] Woo Lae Oak 62-29 Changgyeonggung-ro Jung-gu Seoul http://naver.me/5e0JD44A 02-2265-0151

Angyeong Halmeoni Gopchang

Image
An-gyeong Halmeoni Gopchang is a 30 year restaurant that specializes in beef and pork intestines. Geomson Song is current proprietor and she is one of the toughest, hardest working people I have ever met. She gets in at 8pm and works until 3am. The intestines are prepared in special pots called Hutong. Through dry heat in the hutongs, the intestines are cleaned and the grease is extracted. Sauces are made in house and the gopchang with vegetables is absolutely sublime. I am not a fan or grilled entrails, but I could eat these. #곱장 #안경할머니곱창 #seouleats #koreafood #foodporn #love #instagood #beautiful #food #korea #instafood #instatravel #travelgram  #goodeats #foodblogger #푸드스타그램 #맛스타그램 #맛있어 #좋아요 #냠냠 #데일리 #맞팔 #데일리 #맛있다 #먹스타그램 [Naver Map] Angyeong Halmeoni Grilled Tripe 55 Toegye-ro 87-gil Jung-gu Seoul http://naver.me/5fSP17QP 02-2236-1954 http://www.gobchangstory.co.kr/ http://naver.me/5fSP17QP

The Importance of Color

  I love how colorful Korea is. If you look out at any busy street, there are myriads of shades. This is a recent picture I took at Mercentopolis at Hapjeong Station at nighttime. The umbrellas just set the right mood for an evening with friends or family.

Korean-style Netflix and Chill

Image
Shin Ramen and Kimchi is how we do it in Korea. Now as a father I have learned how to make Ramen with nearly no sound like a ninja. I like to add an egg in it just as the ramen starts to bubble. The kimchi is a perfect complement. Hey it might not be the healthiest but it is my comfort food that goes well with a side of Stranger Things.
