They don't seem to get it. I would do it at a Starcraft tournament or at a hello kitty cafe.

대부분의 한국인들처럼 저도 국수를 좋아합니다. 한국에서 국수요리는 부, 번영, 장수, 혼인 및 축제 등을 의미하는 상징적인 음식입니다. 결혼식에서 잔치국수는 빼놓을 수 없는 음식이지요. 과거에는 밀가루가 귀하다 보니 특별한 날에만 먹을 수 있었거든요. 한국에는 국수로 유명한 집이 많습니다. 보통 역사가 깊은 곳이고 직접 면을 뽑는 집들이지요. 물론 신선함을 앞세운 얼마 되지 않은 식당들도 있습니다.
제가 가장 좋아하는 국수집 몇 곳을 소개해 드리겠습니다.
문을 닫거나 이전하는 식당들이 있을 수 있으니 주의하시구요. 아래 식당들 순서에는 의미가 없습니다.

13. 오장동 흥남집: 쫄깃한 오장동식 면으로 유명한 곳. 홍어가 올라간 비빔냉면이 유명합니다. 물냉면도 맛있는데, 이 동네에서는 이런 스타일이 인기가 있기는 하지만 저는 육수에서 MSG 맛이 조금 너무 많이 느껴지는 것 같긴 하더군요.

 12. 오모리(김치)찌개 짜장면: 네 맞습니다, 오모리찌개는 묵은김치 찌개로 유명한 곳입니다. 하지만 이곳의 보물은 또 하나가 있는데 바로 짜장면입니다. 진한 농도에 깊은 풍미가 있는 짜장소스. 조금 단 편이긴 하지만 그것도 나쁘지 않습니다. 오모리찌개 밑에 집은 칼국수집인데, 국내 도처에 있는 체인점입니다. 충무로점이 제일 맛있는 것 같습니다.

11. 미진: 한때 ‘피맛골’로 불리었던 길에서 아직까지 터를 잡고 있는 유명한 메밀국수집입니다. 무가 들어간 육수에 일본식 메밀소바를 하는 집입니다. 갈은 순무와 다진 파, 약간의 고추냉이를 육수에 넣어 먹으면 됩니다. 메밀의 가벼운 맛과 적당한 쫄깃한 식감(일본 소바보다는 조금 더 쫄깃하네요)을 느끼게 해주는 아주 잘 뽑은 면입니다. 방문할 때마다 맛이 약간씩은 차이가 나는 것을 느꼈습니다. 메밀면과 메밀전을 함께 시켜서 드시길 추천합니다. 메뉴에 다른 요리들은 그저 그렇고, 다른 곳에서 드셔도 될 요리들입니다.

10. 송옥 : 메밀과 우동을 잘하는 집입니다. 유림면이랑 비슷합니다. 가게가 생긴 시기도 1961년으로 유림면이랑 비슷하네요. 이 곳 면이 조금은 더 탱탱한 것 같습니다. 물론 맛있구요. 저는 이곳 튀김이 올려진 국수도 좋아합니다.

서울시 중구 남대문로 4가 17-40

9. 종로3가 국수 골목 : 모든 가게들이 서로가 원조라고 내세우는 간판을 앞세우고 있는 골목입니다. 60년 넘는 전통을 자랑하는 곳도 있습니다. 종로3가역 4번 출구를 나서서 길 건너편 골목길 안으로 들어서면 국수골목을 만나실 수 있습니다. 골목길 바로 안쪽 왼쪽 가게가 60년 넘도록 운영하고 있는 집인데 국수와 김치가 맛있습니다. 안쪽으로 더 들어가시면 나이가 지긋한 아주머니들께서 밖에서 국수를 만들고 계신 모습이 보일 겁니다. 여기는 할머니 칼국수입니다. 맛도 좋지만 양도 푸짐하고 가격이 착하지요(5,000원). 육수를 끓이는 쪽으로 항상 줄이 길게 서 있습니다.

Yuza Soju Mixed Gymnastics Video is Amazeballs! Sunhari

The Yuja Flavored Alcohol, Sunhari, is one of surprise food trends of the season and it looks like the companies behind it are starting to come up with some creative advertisements for this slightly sweet, and citrus drink. This is a video combining mixed gymnastics and alcohol. It's funny but in a "wow...that's amazingly funny and witty" sorta way. Hilarious. Share it with your friends.d

I think it is ok...not my favorite but I will have it once in a while. Many of my friends prefer the regular soju instead but it is nice to have a change once in a while.

Dear Seoul Eats Readers,

A member of our Seoul Eats Facebook Page (currently nearly 10,000 members) Pakinam Magdy sent me a list of all the foods that she wants to eat while in Korea by grazing through the facebook group. As you know the Facebook group is tough to find stuff after it has left the main page. She has gone through and listed the foods she would like to eat in Korea. We have credited the authors and credited the blogs the content has come from. Mind you, another blogger, Zenkimchi has done a much more comprehensive job in his book that you can can buy via Amazon here.

I would like to Thank Pakinam for her diligent work. And if you would like to help feed Seoul by contributing, feel free to contact me at seouleats at gmail dot com.

Bio: Pakinam Magdy A Architect who gets really pissed if you take away her sweets. I am very passionate about trying out and discovering new yummy for the tummy eats and places. Have travelled to exotic locations before and lately Korean culture/food has sparked an immense curiosity in me which got me researching loads of Korean related matters. I am not in Korea yet but I have compiled a list of amazing restaurants accumulated from Seoul eats group and Korean food blogs for when I get the chance to visit.

2- Il Pum - James Yu
Soy marinated crab…probably one of my favorite things to eat. Brings back memories of fighting with my little sister over who gets the main shell to mix rice into (I always lost - hard to fight or even reason with a sibling six years younger).It’s good to know that Il Pum (일품) in Gangnam gets it right. I’ve been here a few times now and have enjoyed their crab every time. First, they’re quite large.

I got the stinkeye at Starbucks for ordering a short coffee with a shot of espresso which we called the redeye in the Northeast. Oh well. Starbucks is the only place open for a brew early in the morning since most cafes open at 10am. #seoul #coffee #starbucks #caffeine #koreareallife #seouleats

Dang you interwebs...you've tangled me into a web of distractions. This is so cool!

So fricken cool. you just have to watch this.

Hello Interwebs' friends, this is my daughter and she is the love, pride and jewel of my life. We haven't named her yet for we will wait for her 100 day ceremony. Right now I want to name her tanggun or carrot in Korean for I feel that I am a donkey chasing after my prized carrot. I offered to name my daughter this not my wife disapproved. #baby #tanggun #carrot #koreareallife #seoul

I am eating a little seafood with my friend in Seoul. We got the whole spread from live octopus, raw fish, soup, and more. We washed this all down with some Korean beksaeju, Cheongha and Beer. If you're hungry for a food tour visit us at www.delectabletravels.com

So I went into this place with very low expectations to be surprised. I mean really surprised. The beer is excellent. Food is alright...typical Korean pub fare such as pizza, sausages, and pasta. But the beer! Wow!
