The best breakfast in Seoul?

There is a lack of real hearty breakfast places in Seoul. The RMT (Rocky Mountain Tavern) used to do a good trucker's breakfast a while back, but I don't know if they still do. Western Breakfast in Korea has become a sugar bomb of puffed up, overpriced, fluff. Breakfast is supposed to be cheap, hearty, and comforting. I feel that many places have missed the boat on that. Well, the Wolfhound seems to share my ideals for their prices are reasonable and the portions sizable.
I know I didn't post this before, but this is a picture during the Superbowl 2010. The Wolfhound was absolutely packed and everyone was enjoying breakfast. Well, not everyone. some people were enjoying a beer and a shot. I had a coffee with a shot of Jameson.
I think that the Wolfhound should have breakfast every morning. I think that's something that Seoul is sorely lacking.
Cheers to this guy^^
Here is the meal. The shot in the background is the Veggie Breakfast. It comes with 2 eggs, hash browns, fried tomato, beans and toast. It's a proper British style breakfast for only 6,500 won. Oh, wait, it's lacking sausage. You can get get the All day breakfast with a coffee, bacon and sausage for 9,800 won.
Here's the Whole Shebang Breakfast which comes with 3 eggs, 3 slices of bacon (proper crisp bacon), 3 sausages, extra beans, 2 hash brown patties, fried tomato, toast, and coffee or tea with a shot of Jameson Whisky. You get all that for only 12,800 won. It's big enough for 2 people (or 4 skinny Korean Girls)^^.

If you have a breakfast recommendation, please let me know.

5 of the Best Jajangmyeon 짜장면 in the City of Seoul, Korea

The Best Jajamyeon in Seoul by Daniel Gray Jajangmyeon 짜장면: Korea's favorite hand pulled noodles in an black sauce is also a favorite dish of mine. It's so famous they even have a holiday for it. It's filling and hearty like a bowl of spaghetti but with Asian flair. It's one of those dishes that you can get whenever you need a quick meal and it doesn't break the wallet. It's a pretty ubiquitous dish and every Chinese restaurant must have it. If it does it well, the place becomes famous. If it is just alright, it is just a meal and gets classed in with all of the other places in the city. I can't say I have had any seriously terrible jajangmyeons except maybe some delivery places (where the noodles are overcooked and terribly clumped together so it takes like 10 minutes to get the sauce mixed into it) but even then it is still edible. With the noodles, I love to get fried dumplings and a place is good fried dumplings or some other sides like tangsuyok

Calories in Soju and other things I Know about Korea's Famous Swill

Image
Just in case you were wondering, one bottle of Soju contains 540 calories. That's like 4 beers. So to put it in perspective, you would need to walk about two hours to exercise it off. (Walking two hours with a soju hangover is not an easy task.) Soju originally was made from rice but whenever there were rice shortages, people were forbidden to make Soju. Alcohol producers the started to use sweet potatoes and tapioca to make an ethanol based alcohol. Overtime they doctored up the taste so it has a smooth, crisp taste that goes great with raw seafood and grilled meats. The world drinks a lot of Soju. 61.38 Million cases of soju were produced in 2012 with Korea consuming about 2.75 billion bottles of Soju a year. You would think that everyone would be falling over drunk in Korea, but this is not the case. The alcohol is only about 17-19% so a bottle won't wreck you (but two or more might.) Koreans judge how good of a drinker you are by the number of bottles o

5 of the Best Gamjatang Restaurants in Seoul: Korean Potato and Pork Stew

Image
Seobu Gamja-guk One of the dishes that came out of necessity is gamja-tang or pork-bone potato stew. This dish has its origins from the Incheon dock area where laborers that were working in the construction wanted to have a cheap and hearty food after a long day of work. The soup consists of pork spine that is slowly cooked with potatoes and topped with sesame leaves. The result is a satisfying dish that goes great with a bowl of hot rice. This was often cooked throughout the day and then eaten at the end of the work day. This dish goes perfectly with a chilled shot of Korean soju. After the first train line was built that would connect the Incheon area with Seoul, one entrepreneur decided that he wanted to make a restaurant focused on this dish. The first restaurant of this type was built near Noryangjin station, which was near the end of the han river railway construction. The dish became a big hit and soon many copycat restaurants started popping up all over Korea. The name gam
