Seafood Soup and Cockles Bibimbap at Yeonnam Sikdang 연안식당

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.

Eloquence Magazine is looking for Food Writers

I am currently helping to plan out the August issue. I would like to find someone who can write a summer recipe using local ingredients. If you are interested, please send me an e-mail.

Also, I have a new section going into the magazine called, "Quick Bites." It will introduce new restaurants, bars, and cafes. This is not a review, but a quick first impression of the restaurant with contact information, location, and style of food/drink.

I'm currently thinking for this month,

Jacobes in Haebangchon
Pizzerium in Haebangchon and
The Corner Bistro and Barbeque in Itaewon

If you would like to send a shout out to any other new emerging places, please let me know. If anyone has pictures that would also be appreciated.

Has anyone eaten at Jacobes? I haven't been there yet and I'm dieting this week for my trip to Boracay^^
