Mingle wheat beer from Craft One. Interesting mouth feel but a bit acidic to be a wheat beer. Wheat accents end bitter. Interesting but not a typical wheat beer #beer #craftbeer

Brooklyn Burger Diner at Garusugil

Image
Hey all its been a fat week. I finally got over to the new Brooklyn burger. It was outstanding. The Hamburger patty was juicy yet held together. The cheese was oozy and of good quality. The bun was soft yet pliable enough to hold all the deliciousness inside. I had the cheddar burger and it was amazing except for the excessive sauce. Next time I would get that on the side. The Fritos chili was spot on as well. The chili was just spicy enough and the crunchy Fritos added the right amount of salt. The milkshake was delightful. In the future I might just get that. It was whipped till light and it was creamy. I had the Nutella burnt marshmallow one and it reminded me of s'mores. Brooklyn Burger has elevated their game and the interior has that diner feel from home. Of course you are paying for nostalgia. This lunch came to about 44,000 but I thought worth it. 

North Korean Cuisine at Hoya Cooks

Image
I am having lunch at Hoya Cooks north Korean Popup restaurant. The chef is Yun Jongcheol who used to work at the famed Okryugwan which was a favorite of the Great Leader Kim Jeongil. The food here is subtle and very different from South Korean cuisine. Normally I do not like soondae but here it is like a delicious sausage. Also their duck soup is rich and perfect with rice. I would recommend you come check it out. They do their North Korean Popup restaurant on Tuesday, Wednesday and Sunday from 1130-10pm. http://4sq.com/Q1Gpvu

In celebration of the recent North Korean threats try a Mikkeller: a North Korean/ Belgium collaboration beer after a journalist said that North Korean Beer from Taegang was better than South Korean Beer. Come get a cold one from Brew 3.14. #northkorea #korea #beer

But the ‘same old buffet menu’ and the ironic tendency to always overeat have found me far away from buffet restaurants for a while. Until recently that is. I was invited to Lotte Hotel in Myeongdong to dine at their buffet restaurant, La Seine, which was having a special spring promotional event called Sakura Gala Dinner Buffet. The hotel organizes single day events every month to feature different themed m

Double Entendre Makgeolli at Yeojaman 여자만

Image
cockles The other night my friend Ben took me to a new hidden little Makgeolli place that I didn't know before. It is hidden in the basement along Insadong Street And it has Makgeolli (Korean Rice Wine) and well prepared Korean Anju (pub food).  The food and Makgeolli are not as good as my favorite Makgeolli places such as Pub of the Blue Star, H-Makgeolli or Chin Chin- but I feel that makgeolli food should be rustic. Also, the price is quite high for what you get (Jeons start at 15,000 and Makgeolli starts at 5,000 a bottle for Seoul Makgeolli). The service is alright but nothing to write home about so... why should you go there? The atmosphere of the place and the vibe is cool. The place has a hipster feel to it and even the name, Yeojaman is a play on words. Yeoja is girl and man is only, so..".Women Only." But it could also be seen as girl/man (Korean for girl plus Man). It's witty and funny and the place has a whole tongue-cheek feel to it. We want

Food for Thought: How Healthy is Instant Coffee by Lindsey Huster

Image
How healthy is instant coffee? Brew. Java. Cup of Joe. Whatever you prefer to call your café noir, it may be the healthiest way to start your day. Coffee has been linked to preventing cavities, healthier moods and relieving headaches. A cup of coffee also significantly reduces the risk of Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease and diabetes.  But how healthy is  instant  coffee, the most beloved beverage of Korea? Instant coffee is drink revered by Koreans, and tolerated, and at times, loathed by (most) ex-pats. Even if instant coffee is not your cup of tea, it continues to be the closest to a drinkable ambassador of Korea (in company with the spirited Soju, of course).   Instant coffee, and more specifically coffee mix packets - a blended triumvirate of coffee powder, cream and sugar- are one of the most consumed drinks in Korea. According to Nielson findings, an average Korean guzzle 300 cups of instant coffee a year. Instant coffee is relatively new in the schem

진순자계란말이 김밥에 빠졌다; 병원근처에 이집이 있는데 며칠간은 이것만 먹음 넘~~맛있당ㅋㅋ near the baby hospital there is good kimbap place, we ate at this a lot here. This is different from other kimbap, they are so simple like this.
