Food Crimes: Butter-flavored Milk from GS25

So I tried the butter latte. It's like popcorn butter mixed with snot. If you add it to coffee it makes your coffee taste like lobsters gone bad dipped in butter #foodcrime #buttermilk #seouleats 

Xiaolongbao at DaeHan Shijang in Yeonnamdong. Just alright but good for Korea (they don't do it very well) #seouleats

It's hard to get great Chinese food in Seoul. Daehan Shijang is famous for their xaolong bao but they weren't soupy this time. Sigh. Their other dishes were good though. Maybe they just had a bad day.  via Instagram http://ift.tt/2bza1TB

Authentic Mexican at B'Mucho Cantina in Yeonnam-dong

Image
Green Enchilada with Chicken and Tomatillo Sauce Real Guacamole Interior Chorizo Tacos At B'Mucho Cantina in Yeonnamdong is the best Mexican that I have had in years in Korea. I have dealt with tasteless Mexican before and accepted it because of the lack of ingredients and what-not, but all of that has been proven wrong with my most recent visit to B'Mucho Cantina.  The flavors are bright and spot on. They have real limes. They have red onions. They have cilantro and they are not afraid to use it. The guacamole (8,000) was just a bowl of creamy sunshine with a bit of pico de gallo and chopped cilantro on the side. I wish I could just spread it over everything. The chorizo tacos (5,000 each) where big and filling. To be honest, 1 taco and sharing the guacamole would have been enough for lunch. But...no, that's not how I do things. We got the Enchilada Verde (14,000) which is the much hyped dish at this place. It's really good but...I didn&#

Looking to start a restaurant or business? Here's a great place available.

This is for entrepreneurs out there looking to start a business. I was introduced to a space to do something new but I am a bit too busy to take it. The owner is a friend of mine and is looking for someone to take it. Here are some pictures and a short video. It's a real fixer upper but I think it has potential- especially since it is in an up and coming area and doesn't have the black money deposit (권리금). email me if you are interested. Dan

Travelog: 5 Must-Eat Korean Dishes

If you are heading towards Korea then, you are one of the awesome, the brave and open minded. Korea is an undiscovered country that is currently trending. While I was growing up, I would eat kimchi in secret since many thought it was a pungent and unrefined dish. Now Kimchi can be found at gourmet grocery markets such as Whole Foods. However, the so-called Korean foods you have been having overseas is nowhere close to what you would find in Korea. Koreans have a particular palate and a different perception of what constitutes a snack, a meal, and drinking food. We’ll get into all that later, but if you make into Korea, here is my list of 5 must eat Korean dishes. 5. Dakgalbi: Spicy Chicken Stir-fry What was once considered a plebeian, college kid’s meal has gone mainstream and become a favorite among the masses. The name of the dish is laughable since it translates to chicken ribs (dak=chicken galbi= rib meat). The dish is made with the whole chicken t

Barley Gulbi Fish and Soy Marinated Crab at Dongshim

Image
This is one of my favorite places for barley dried gulbi or corvina fish and soy marinated crab. The place has been around for more than 30 years and it used to be a family house that was turned into a restaurant. This place is old school and the furniture and layout is very much like a home. The food is unadulterated and pure. It is just good food made from good ingredients using tried and true techniques. Their soy marinated crab has that pungent, saltiness that you would expect and their stone bowl rice is the perfect accompaniment. Their barley fish has a texture and smell like a fine parmesan cheese. I could eat two of them by myself if I was given a chance. The place is more expensive than others but it is worth it. The barley fish meal is 28,000 a person and the soy marinated crab is 29,000 won. If you are looking for classic Korean food this is the place.

Pokemon Hunting In Sokcho, South Korea

Pokemon Hunting In Sokcho, South Korea We wanted to know what all the hype was about with this Pokemon thing. However, you can't play Pokemon in Korea due to security issues with North Korea. But you can play it on the far northeast city of Sokcho. So we went, we ate and played pokemon all day. The entire city was filled with others doing the same thing. If you are planning a trip to Korea and need help doing so (we can even help you with a private tour to Sokcho) you can find us at http://ift.tt/1Fa3q98
