My friend Matt and I went to Myeongdong yesterday and our first stop was to have steak in an ice cream cone at a little place called Balena. It's off the Myeongdong main drag- off from California Wow. It is about Is it fusion? Is it ground breaking? It's basically spaghetti in an ice cream cone. Sorry I'm posting this in a hurry. Live octopus today.
This is near Jongro 5-ga near Cheongaechoen river. Lots of really good food. I recommend the "Son Calguksu"-hand made noodle soup. It is really nice on a cold day and the noodles are like fresh pasta but with a lighter texture.

Check this out!
This photo article has pictures of families with a week's worth of groceries. I found it quite enlightening. Check it out.
Thanks Nicole!
It was really good food. I recommend the chili. I'll write something more in detail soon. Toque is near Hangangjin station across from some public school. If you are coming down from Itaewon, it's on the right hand side.
Now interestingly there is a new dessert/cafe/gallery? building next door. It is very nice looking place, but in a space capsule/cafeteria/futuristic way. Are desserts the food of the future? I don't know, but they sure seem to think so. The desserts looked fabulous, but I've found that most desserts do in Korea. I'm thinking of adding this to the dessert tour I have planned for next Sunday night.

Carol and I went over to Banshin Market and across the road we found all these street food places. We ate some Calguksu- Korean Noodle Soup and then I decided to be brave and eat some Pig's Feet. It was...not for me. It was overly chewy and I'm NOT a foot man, so the very thought of it turned my stomach for days after. The meat was cold and it came with the bosam sauce- you know with tiny shrimp and spices.
Say what!
Behind the Express Bus terminal in Seoul, next to the Marriot Hotel, there is a Nolboo restaurant that serves "Sulfur Duck Roasted in Mud." It is called the 놀부 유화오리 진홁구이. At this restaurant you get duck that's fed sulfur and then stuffed with sticky brown rice, black rice, sweet potato, beans, ginko, dae-chu (it's a Korean plum), deer antler!, ginseng, licorice, angelica, and who knows what else.
The reasoning behind the sulfur is: the direct contact with sulfur is a dangerous substance for all mammals other than ducks. I can't really explain it. Here's what I got from another blog,
"According to a widely believed oriental medical theory, sulfur can be super healthy for human body. It is because, as the theory goes, ducks’ bodies produce a lot of good elements that counteract the effects of sulfur, which neutralize in human bodies as well as working against polluting elements."
Yeah, I don't know. It sounds a wee bit like fan death to me. I will tell you one thing, I've had a lot of good luck since I've had the duck. I'm not sure if they're related, but my Korean friends sure think so. They believe that my constitution (and they mean this in the most banal way) creates my present reality.
Whatev
The taste: The duck meat was succulent and the texture was like Cuban pork that was roasted all day. But it needed salt. Also the skin, which should have been Peking crispy was soggy along the bottom of the dish. The rice and herbs inside had a medicinal bouquet- as if a cool breeze wafted through the Oriental medicine clinic; it wasn't over powering. But then again, it wasn't very welcoming either. The smell itself wouldn't have drawn me to this dish.
It was like the after Valentine's box of mixed chocolates from the Chocolatier; you never know what you're going to get- but you know it's going to be the awkward Valentine experiments gone bad. Also, trying to get some rice and then finding little bits of duck bones jettisoned inside doesn't make for good eats.
Wait.
I am being too harsh. If you took the duck meat and dipped in the salt, it was nice- but I'm American, I don't want to have to season my own food. The other sauce that came with it- a sweet, mustardly, vinegar was also a nice complement to the duck meat as well. The pancheon (the Korean sidedishes) were not spectacular, but I did enjoy the crisp salad served with a ginger, carrot dressing. They did lose credibility when they tried to pass off jalepenos and onions as pancheon. Oh, I didn't like how almost immediately we were sat, we were served. They didn't even ask what we wanted to order, but then again, there was only one thing on the lunch menu. I would like to settle and get used to my surroundings before I'm served. That wasn't the case here.
Would I go again? Probably not, but it was an interesting experience. It wasn't inedible, but it would take a lot more than sugar to make this medicine go down.

Deadlines
I'll be back in a couple of days with some new posts, but I'm got a couple of deadlines I have to hit.


Check out the blog, The Girl Who Ate Everything
Robin is cute as a button and her pictures are absolutely scintillating.
The following link talks about her birthday celebration at Momofuku, a restaurant that has been popping up on my radar. The chef, Michael Chang is a Korean American who is singlehandedly taking Korean Cuisine to the forefront. He's hip, he's innovative, he's skilled, but most importantly- HE KNOWS HOW TO MARKET THE FOOD! Calling Bo-saam, Saam or giving it the euphemism: "the Asian Burrito," is enough to entice the masses. Also, his restaurant sounds Japanese, so it piques the interests of the epicurious The guy is loved by the New York Times, as seen here. It's getting to the point where he could take a hamburger, throw some kimchi on it and sell it for 25 dollars as the Weiguk Burger (The irony being, it's not really Weiguk.)
Here's an interview with Michael Chang (The guy has to learn to take better pictures.^^)
So here's Robin's review on Bo-saam(I'm utterly confused how to spell Bosam now. Is it Bo ssam, Bo-ssam Bosam, Bossaam?)
http://www.roboppy.net/food/2007/11/birthday_porkfest_at_momofuku.html
I want you to pay attention to the price tag- $180.00! Holy crap! In Korea it's like W25,000 to W50,000. So, before you leave the country, you've got to get your fill of Bo-sam.
So...imagine you are back in the states and an acquaintance says to you, "I went and had the most amazing food at Momofuku: Bo-ssam!"
You can nonchalantly reply, "Hmph...I've had the original in Korea."
If you go to a reputable sushi restaurant and want to put your trust in your sushi chef then say, "omakasi": I am in your hands.
According to one of my student's essays, "the three most important nutrients are carbohydrate, grease and the meat."
Of note, my student didn't make up this fact, he had translated this word for word from his Korean health textbook.

I've had the meat pie there after a night of being sloshed and it was heaven. The crust was flaky and the meat savory. And they've got Tim Tams! I'm going to do the Tim Tam Slam tomorrow.

I Dream of Turkey
by Daniel Gray
dining@eloquence.co.kr
I have dreams of the days after Thanksgiving. That first turkey sandwich is the Venus de Milo of sandwiches. I like to go with a toasted baguette cut in half with mayonnaise seasoned with plenty of black pepper on one side and cranberry sauce on the other. Then a layer of stuffing is spackled on top of the mayonnaise and pieces of shredded turkey heaped on top of that. If it is all white meat, then a little gravy is needed, if dark-nothing. Yes, I know that it is an American holiday, but everyone has to admit- turkey tastes good. And leftovers macgyvered into a sandwich, taste great!

Puzzling Pieces
Our reunion would have been booed on Korean national television. There was no cautious approach, no quivering lips, no torrent of tears as parent and child embrace. Nope. My mind was utterly blank and I had the goofiest smile on my face. I didn't know the etiquette for meeting a birth parent, so I half stretched out my hand. Luckily, she grabbed my hand and then she embraced me as I tried to figure out what to do with my other arm. It wasn't epic: it was more like 'nice to see you again.'
Two weeks prior to meeting my mother I had requested my adoption agency, Holt, to start a search. Thankfully, they keep remarkably good records and two letters went out- one to my father and one to my mother. My mother received hers on Saturday and here we were face to face. It was all happening so fast and I half dreaded the day, because I can't speak Korean. Luckily, my good friend Erica agreed to come with me for support and to translate.
The first thing my mother said was, "I knew we would meet again, and then in Korean fashion, "I thought you would be taller." We laugh and I apologize profusely out of nervousness. We look deeply at each other, seeing which puzzle pieces of ourselves fit where. We both have fine hair and small eyes. We have the exact same nose and mouth. She is thin and petite, while I'm broader- I guess the effect of being raised on a Western diet.
As we sit, she takes out pictures of me as a baby from her purse and hands them to me. For the first time in my life, I have baby pictures. There is one of me roly-poly and bald, sitting on a rock; in another picture, I am on a merry-go-round. The picture I remembered is not here. I describe it: a newborn in an orange jumper which sat on a shelf in our room. Her eyes widen, amazed that I remember the photo-- she lost it years ago.
I tell her my memories of where we lived. I correctly remember the TV, but not the shelves and shelves of books. A precocious child, I would pretend to read, repeating from memory the words my mother read aloud. She laughs as she tells me that I loved to eat and she would starve in order to feed me. I would cry impatiently, unwilling to wait for my beloved fish, "ggong-chi," to be finished cooking before I could eat it.
Many of my memories are accurate, she tells me. Except my hometown was Daegu and not Seoul. This is a mistake many adoptees make because most adoption agencies are headquartered in Seoul. Also, my father was a businessman, not a soldier. My mother speaks fondly of my father. She says, "he was tall, funny, and handsome." For a time we moved out of our home and lived in an apartment that was provided by my father. We three lived together in quick spurts when my father was away from his other life.
One day my mother and father's affair was discovered and it was decided that I would have to live with my father. I reluctantly asked my mother if the memory I had of her getting beat by my stepmother was real, she simply smiles and says, "You remember your mom getting hit?" We have a bonding moment as we talk about how psychotic the stepmother was. After the laughs subside she says, "Don't dwell on the past. It's past."
Then the revelation: apparently, she didn't want to give me up. She had begged my father for me back and she planned on raising me herself. 20 years ago this was a impossibility. If I was not on my father's family registrar, I would have been considered nonexistent in Korea. I would have not been able to go to the public schools, or attend the army. Getting a job would have been an impossibility. With the strife widening in my father's family, it was decided that I would be put up for adoption.
My mother didn't get married until she was 46 because she didn't want to have any more children. She says, "I had my child."
She takes out another picture, as cautiously as if it were a gem, from her wallet. It is of me and her. I am in a baby stroller and she is next to me in a light yellow dress. She is beautiful as she smiles.
I wonder who took the picture.

Manhwa 100 pages 1-24
manhwa100 1-24p This is a book of 100 Korean Manhwas. Manhwas are the Korean version of comic books. I would say they are like Japanese Mangas, but the style of writing and art are quite different.
