Nothing wrong with a little barley bibimbap for dinner
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1Gpujmy I am happy to see that the area, Ikseongdong where my bar is developing. I guess I sorta saw it happening. I guess 10 years in Korea it helps me spot the trends. When I started doing food tours about 6 years ago, I was in love with area. I took my friend Robin Lee from the website Serious Eats. I also brought many other reporters. When the infamous house of prostitution that was in the area was bulldozed to the ground, I knew the area would change. Now across from me is respectable Korean eatery. Down on the corner is a another beer place and on the other side is my other restaurant. Change is good. Dropped Pin near 77 Ikseon-dong, Jongno-gu, Seoul http://goo.gl/maps/EiP5D
The princess without a name
via Instagram http://ift.tt/1FvxVlb So... my daughter is almost a month old and we haven't named her yet. We have nicknames for her, but we haven't officially given her a name. We have to soon because we will soon have to register her at the city hall and with the US embassy. We have thought of different options such as giving her a Korean name, give her a name that would work in Korea and in English. My mother-in-law and mother have suggested names, but I feel they aren't names that define her. I feel they just aren't good enough. Also, some of the names that I have come up with have some baggage such as it reminds me of someone in the past. It could be a neutral feeling, but I don't want to associate my new daughter with someone in the past. Is it petty? I don't know but that is the way that I feel. I have been doing all sorts of searches to find the perfect name. Like this. and this http://babynames.net/girl . Koreans have a thing they don't
Asian Grace aka take a food photo!
When I am in America I am cautious about my Asian urges. I try and take photos with my hands to the side instead of sparking a V, I don't wear face masks in public, I don't sleep on the subway, and I don't take a photo before eating. In Korea, the typical grace is photo taking and then it is time to dine. Guests will politely wait till the photos are taken of the food and then group shots of themselves with the food. Restaurants and dining are a way of marking the days and it should be celebrated. I don't think that is so bad right? Dan via Instagram http://ift.tt/1IRWTji

My favorite restaurants are the ones with history. This one has been around for over 20 years and it is a lasting reminder of the neighborhood. They serve 1 dish: spicy pork with an option for soup. You get your own sides and rice. It's run by just one grandma. Dropped Pin near 67-6 Nonhyeon 2(i)-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul http://goo.gl/maps/xFStg

Korean food = #trend
This article was commissioned by http://host.fieramilano.it/en/korean-food-trend Which I will be attending in October in Milano, Italy as a presenter. Thanks, Host Fiera milano! #스타셰프 =Star Chef Korean food = #trend William Drew, at the Asia's 50 Best Restaurant event in Singapore hiply answered his thoughts on Korean food, “hashtag trend.” He further expounded, “Korean food is getting popular around the world even in places where there isn’t a large Korean population." As the world is discovering Korean flavors, social and economic trends are changing the food landscape in Korea. Here are some of the other keywords and concepts popular right now in Korea. #배달에프 = delivery app #배달에프 = delivery app A recent survey reported that only 7% of Koreans cook at home. Busy schedules dictate that families don't have time to eat together these days. With 70% of the population with smartphones, many are turning to delivery services for their food (WSJ July 2014). #먹방

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.

한국 10 최고 국수집
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. 지도 링크 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. 오장동 흥남집 서울시 중구 마른내로 114 (오장동) 전화번호: 02-2266-0735 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. 오모리찌개 서울시 종로구 관수동 160-4 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

Yuza Soju Mixed Gymnastics Video is Amazeballs! Sunhari Yuza Soju Mixed Gymnastics Video is Amazeballs! Sunhari 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.

Breakfast at the mother and baby care center 산후조리원
Breakfast at the mother and baby care center 산후조리원. Women after given birth stay for two weeks at the center to have nurses help take care of the babies and to give women the chance to recover. I think it is a great system. The women receive classes on how to breast feed, how to take care of the baby and they have support so they can rest. Doctors also make sure women are not having any complications from the pregnancy. Husbands can stay here as well since we have a small apartment we stay in. The cost is low: only about 150 usd a day. I think other countries in the world should have this instead of sending mothers home right after a day. I think it also helps with post pregnancy depression. After we go home we'll have a nurse come during the day for a month to give the wife support. This I feel is a bit overkill but it's what Korea does and it's what my wife wants. #koreareallife #korea #baby #koreanfood #pregnancy via Instagram http://ift.tt/1RZSCi2
Coffee Illua @ Cheolsan: A Chillaxing Cafe that gets it right.
I miss the days I would just spend a morning writing or reading. I find that most cafes in Korea are just too hectic and loud. I found this new cafe called Coffee Illua that is big, open, with good atmosphere, ample power sockets, good coffee and with wide windows. I feel I can relax here, study and simply get my center. The food is decent as well and so is the coffee. I got a pretzel dog and it was a bit more artisan than a packet you get at the supermarket. The rainbow cake was decent as well for a 6,000 won slice. The coffee is medium bodied with good balance so I can drink it without getting too fidgety. They have bathrooms nearby as well that are clean. What else can I ask for? I might have found my new hangout.

"A Traveler's Want-to-Eat-List" in Korea Part 1: Soy Crabs and Samgyetang by Pakinam Magdy P
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.

Dang you interwebs...you've tangled me into a web of distractions. This is so cool!
Interwebs, here is my baby carrot.
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 via Instagram http://ift.tt/1eThYzV
Eat an ironically holistic burger at Patty and Vegetables (where are the veggies)
Just ate a ironically, holistic burger from "patty and vegetable." The burger was tiny and over priced at 9,800 won (150g). Now I could have been "Ameri-conned" by getting 50 more grams of meat for 2,000 won and then getting fries for another 3,000 and then an egg (500 won), tomato (500 won) onion (500 won) and lettuce (500 won). So for 9,800 you get a patty with a paltry amount of cheese (extra is 500 won) and bread. Oh and 3 jalapeños! Yeah. Mind you the burger is fresh ground and fricken delicious (truly great) but...the server went around selling their concept ("it's American style" and gourmet") burger to several groups as she sold lots more alcohol. Not a good date place as a couple next to me ate in 5 minutes and left (boyfriend had head down for he knew he needs to now feed his date again). I know rents are expensive in gangnam but this place is just nickle and diming anyone at comes in and sells it as a gourmet "American bar and burg

You should never eat alone in Korea because you will miss out on all the different foods. Most Koreans will order depending on what others have so they can share. If one person gets a meat, another will get soup or grilled fish. Plus you get lots of fresh leaves and other side dishes. Here I am with my team from iFamily. We all ordered different dishes so we can share. Good times. The restaurant is Done Zone #koreanfood #koreareallife #company #seouleats

Had some curry at kaku curry for lunch today. Was pretty good for Japanese-style curry with a thicker gravy. I just got spicy and it was hot enough. I am glad I didn't get the very spicy for I believe it would have been painful. You can add a pork chop on it for 4,500 won more and I liked the fried oniki mushrooms on top. I think my lunch was 10,500 won and for sinsa, that's not so bad. Www.kakucurry.com 서울 강남구 신사동 544-7 1F #korea #Japanese #curry #seouleats #seoul

Dog and Pig Craft Beer Pub
Dog & Pig Craft Beer in Seoul, Korea. This is CB, follow him at http://www.eataku.com/ Dog & Pig Craft Beer in Seoul, Korea Dog & Pig Craft Beer in Seoul, Korea Dog & Pig Craft Beer in Seoul, Korea 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! It's an actual brew pub so they have the tanks on site and they brew on premise. I always said that this would not be possible in Seoul, because of the rents, but somehow they have done it. The beer is well made and it has that very fresh, clean taste that I used to expect from a craft beer place in...well everywhere. The problem is that everyone is contract brewing and while the beer is good, there is a bit of OEM, inconsistency at times. I apologize my brethren who own pubs in Korea, but I am just speaking the truth. The Namdaemun Wi
