Ice Cream Hook: Korean Street Food
Posted June 17, 2013 by Daniel
It’s like a corn cookie that is filled with creamy, vanilla ice cream. These are a new popular treat on Insadong Street. The masterminds behind it are the guys who started the dragon beard candy (Gul-tare http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OgdTq_wXn8c). It seems to be a big hit and you’ll se droves of people with the treats walking [...]

Cold Foods for Hot Days in Korea
Posted June 14, 2013 by Daniel

I miss the jangling sound of “Pop Goes the Weasel” that drive little kids to beg, steal, or borrow change and then sprint towards roving truck dispensing frozen confectioneries. I miss huge cups at the 7-11 that I could fill with a [...]

Video: My Trip to the Boseong Tea Fields
Posted June 12, 2013 by Daniel
Yesterday I was lucky to travel to Boseong tea country with some friends. As expected, Boseong was as beautiful as I heard. The land is picturesque and the tea products there are worth the journey. Here are some of what we saw during on our day. See pictures here: http://www.seouleats.com/2013/06/a-gr… If you are interested in [...]

Review: Napoleon Bakery
Posted May 26, 2013 by Daniel
Bakery Napoleon has a long history of making fine breads in Korea. Although many of the breads cater to the Korean palate (such as green tea, rice cake, cheese, bread) they have world class skills for desserts and their croissants. I have to say that their croissants are the closest you’ll get to a partisan [...]

Review: Duck Fat Fries and Pork Cracklings at Hopscotch Gastropub
Posted May 26, 2013 by Daniel
When I think of Gastropubs I am reminded of bar hopping in Portland Oregon and in NYC. The bars are serious about their drinks as well as their food. There is a bit of haughty pretentiousness when you enter these establishments and you should prove you know your shit or you’ll lose credibility and then [...]

First of all, thank you for being concerned and thank you for taking the time to read the blog.
