Moon Hotteok at Jeonju’s Night Market

The Night Market in Jeonju is an amazing food market. On Friday and Saturday night they open up food stalls to sell all sorts of traditional and new street foods. Moon Hotteok has the nicest and most optimistic cooks and the nut-stuffed caramel donuts( hotteok) are amazing.  [Naver Map] Jeonju Nambu Market Hanok Village Night Market Jeon-dong Wansan-gu, Jeonju-si Jeollabuk-do http://naver.me/xaDWn5bw   #seouleats #koreafood #foodporn #love #instagood #beautiful #food #korea #instafood #instatravel #travelgram  #goodeats #foodblogger #푸드스타그램 #맛스타그램 #맛있어 #좋아요 #냠냠 #데일리 #맞팔 #데일리 #맛있다 #먹스타그램

Photoblog: Veteran Calguksu in Jeonju's Hanok Village

Near Jeonju's Hanok Village is a local hotspot: Veteran (베테랑) that serves up delicious Wild Sesame Knifecut noodle soup (Calguksu) and Dumplings (Mandu). It looks deceptively humble, for the tiny storefront hides the huge restaurant (with its own big parking lot) to the side. People drive for hours to get to this place and its the place I'll be going every time I head back to Jeonju. Veteran 베테랑: Deceptively rustic looking storefront. It looks just like any other store. Veteran 베테랑: The Mandu are plump morsels of the gods. The pork flavor goes straight to the back of your head. Veteran 베테랑: The Turnip Kimchi (gatduggi) is delicious as well Veteran 베테랑: gatduggi Veteran 베테랑: Interior Shot Veteran 베테랑: The Calguksu noodles are like silk woven, the broth is like an egg drop broth, but what makes the dish is the wild sesame seed (brown powder). Veteran 베테랑: Calguksu Veteran 베테랑: Uncooked Mandu Veteran 베테랑: This is the main room to the side. It is huge and...

Jeonju Makgeolli: Buy Rice Wine, get lots of free food

April 30, 2010 — In Jeonju, it's customary to give lots of food for free- "as service" when you buy a pitcher of makgeolli (unfiltered rice wine). They don't skimp on the food and often you'll get almost 20 different plates for about $11.00. Jeonju is known for its generosity, but also for its flavor. It's been called the best taste city in Korea. Join my Youtube Page at http://www.youtube.com/user/delawheresdan for more great videos on food in South Korea! Jeonju Makgeolli: 224-0808 Manun Sul: Filtered Makgeolli (Rice Wine) Jeonju Makgeolli: the place has a lot of character Jeonju Makgeolli: At 7pm the place was empty but the place filled up at 8. Jeonju Makgeolli: Green Onion Kimchi Jeonju Makgeolli: Snails Jeonju Makgeolli: Dolnamu (a type of green) with Spicy Chili Sauce Jeonju Makgeolli: Steamed Skate

Mook Hyang Japanese restaurant Jeonju

Photographs from a Japanese restaurant opposite my apartment. Excellent service, very nice setting and a lot of food even though it was a touch pricey. 80,000 won for 2 which included a bowl of udon at the end because, the chef said, Korean people kind of expect some rice or noodles to make it a substantial meal.The chef also threw in some free sushi, in fact he gave us o-toro sushi, the most prized part of the tuna, which, if I understood correctly would normally cost almost as much as the meal itself.

Herb Island - Jeonju

Herb Island is a lovely little restaurant precariously located at the entrance to Jinbuk tunnel in Jeonju. The place is only part restaurant however. The rest seems to be an alternative treatment centre with certificates all over the walls for aromatherapy and Indian head massage. The aromatherapy aspect is continued in the restaurant with herbs and herbaceous material forming the core of the menu. Today I ate the salad-flower-rice (셀러드 꽃 밥) and it was incredibly...flowery. They also have kal guk soo and galbi and those kind of things but the flowery rice is a spectacle and is worth a visit. After the meal you get a complementary cup of peppermint tea and a dab of eucalyptus oil on the back of your neck in the cafe come herby product shop upstairs. 063-272-8668 허브 아일랜드

Filipino food in the heartlands of Korean cuisine

Jeonju, capital of North Jeolla province and former capital of the Baekje dynasty sits in the middle of the fertile Honam plain in an area also known as the rice bowl of Korea. The south-west corner of Korea is occupied by the Jeolla provinces and in my slightly biased opinion, home to the best Korean food in the country and therefore the known universe. Good, wholesome, traditional, regional cooking at its finest; food that has fed countless farm workers for generations and now serves up delicious, mouth wateringly good food to me. Jeonju however, in amongst the swathe of other cities, towns and villages offering delectable dishes in these provinces, is particularly light on ethnic food. Foreign food if you prefer. We have traditional Australian food (via the USA) in the guise of 'Outback Steakhouse' and when you need a big burger and a goldfish bowl full of alcohol, TGI's can step in and fill your foreign belly and offer a welcome respite from Korea (just hope it isn'...

Curry but not as you know it

I know Seoul eats is usually for all you gastronomes in the big smoke but if ever you venture into the sticks you might want to eat a little something which is why I am trying to add a little sprinkling of geographic diversity where I can. Jeonju might be the spiritual home of Korean food but options are strictly limited when it comes to international cuisines unless you count Pizza Hut and Outback Steakhouse, which I don't. We do have a nice little Korean run place that has just 2 things on the menu, curry and hot curry. Click here to read more.

Jeonju's Turtle ship restaurant

Do you love donkas ( 돈가스 ), ribs and steak? Do you like interestingly shaped restaurants with a Korean historical twist? If you answered 'yes' to both of these questions then a visit to  Jeonju's turtle ship restaurant is for you! Located in a city known throughout Korea for its excellent Korean cuisine (some say the best in the land), the restaurant is a very large stones throw from the main bus terminal and is adorned with a statue of the famed Korean gastronome, admiral Yi Sun Shin. Get yourself down from the big smoke and come and experience the food of the decade. If that decade was the 70's that is. The reality of the restaurant isn't too far off the sarcastic and slightly critical intro. I have never been a fan of theme bars, pubs or restaurants as I find the theme is generally to hide something lacking in the establishment. As is the case with the turtle restaurant. If you do ever intend to visit then be sure to ask any taxi driver for 'Turtle restaur...
