WMD's in Seoul! Oh, No! We better all get ready to leave Seoul. Have your passport ready and head to your nearest consulate! Say good-bye to your Korean friends! The END IS NEAR! kkkkkkk. signed, the Dokebi

The Michelin three-star chef highlighted Korean roasted meat as prime candidates as the face of hansik. ``Galbi (beef ribs) and bulgogi (seasoned beef) would be competitive enough internationally,'' he said. ``The Korean serving style, offering many side dishes on one table, can stimulate both foreigners' eyes and tastebuds.'' Bibimbap (rice topped with assorted vegetables) is another Gagnaire's believes can become popular. ``Bibimbap is an inexpensive and harmonious dish, just like Koreans,'' he said. He added that Koreans should try to elevate the status of bibimbap and find out the features that can appeal more to non-Koreans. ``It is the duty for Korean chefs to find out what they are,'' he added. Hahaha. Inexpensive and Harmonious Dish, just like Koreans. Here's the original post:

It opens tomorrow and I was recently invited for a pre-opening party. I got to meet the chef and he's a great guy with a revolutionary concept. Actually, it's revolutionary for Seoul because he wants to offer good food made with fresh ingredients at reasonable prices. Mind blowing isn't it? Check out the comic. I'll have more pics soon. He opens tomorrow and he's across from the KEB in hannam-dong (near Danguk University.) If you are taking the 110 bus from Sinsa, it'll stop right by there.

Hmmmm...I'm in the mood for something Vegan. I think I should check out this restaurant that my friend Chalica wrote about. Here is her take on it. Vegetarian in Seoul Presents: The Loving Hut by Chalica Pack As a vegetarian living in Korea, I have been pretty lucky thus far finding restaurants that serve non-meat dishes alongside their meat-based staples. . I've only had to walk out of one restaurant (Who knew the Turkish weren't vegetarian friendly?) after finding nothing more than a paltry side salad as my vegetarian option. Last week, I visited my first all-vegetarian restaurant in Korea. The Loving Hut is a (fairly) new vegan chain restaurant that has locations all over the world. At 6pm, the restaurant was already filling up quickly, so it was clear that Loving Hut is no secret to those looking for tasty vegan meals. Click here for the rest.

Yeah, so back in the day, I thought that bagged popcorn was pretty ingenious. That was until I found out that those bags were made with unhealthy chemicals and the popcorn inside had lots of preservatives and stuff. Alton Brown did a show on how to make perfect popcorn, so I decided to see if it would work. Here's Alton's recipe: Alton Brown's Plain Brown Popper * 1/4 cup good quality popcorn * 2 teaspoons olive oil * 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt or popcorn salt * Sprinkle jalapeno seasoning mix * Paper lunch bag * Stapler Toss the popcorn with the olive oil, salt, and jalapeno seasoning mix in the paper bag. Fold the top of the bag over and staple the bag twice to close. Place the bag in the microwave and microwave on high for 2 minutes to 3 minutes, or until there are about 5 seconds between pops. (NOTE: Popcorn salt is a super-fine salt that is designed especially for sticking to food such as popcorn. It has the taste of regu...

A small selection of pictures from a recent trip to Okinawa. The pictures fall into 3 categories. The first is called "Traditional Okinawan food", not too many of these. The second is called "A little bit silly", like the snoopy one and the third is called "We have them in Korea!"

Ginseng Beef Soup at Ja Yeon located in Incheon's Walker Hill Transit Hotel So the New York Adventurers: Eric and Mehera, are back in Seoul and they have a layover in Incheon for a couple of hours. So what can they do? Well, I decided to do some research and ask around and here's what I found. Of course, you would probably want to leave the city and I think Incheon is the best place to go. There are several local city buses and tour buses that'll take you right into the city. Here's the info on Incheon Local Buses. Incheon is a port city and it is known for having many excellent Chinese Seafood Restaurants. Jung-gu is the only official Chinatown in Korea and has some excellent Chinese restaurants. You should also check out Jayu Park with a statue of General Douglas MacArthur. There is also the Korean-American Centennial Monument. Now what should you eat? Here are some recommendations: Hweogweoddawang 1.Hweogweoddawang: Hweogweo is a Chinese sinseollo (royal co...
