Dreaming of the linguine-like noodles from Boksunggak

This is now my favorite jajangmyeong place and the noodles are epic. The noodles are thin and think like linguine yet silky smooth. The sauce is tangy, deep and flavorful. I could eat here until I explode. Here is what Chef Suntae who introduced me to the place. "This place has thin and linguine-like noodle that sops up the delicious black sauce." This is 'Boksunggak' recommended by chef Suntae Kim. * Boksunggak * Address: Seoul Seodaemun-gu Myongmul 1gil 24 * Phone: 0507-1416-1522

Nostalgic, fun lunch at Sujak Bansang

Had a comforting Korean meal at Sujak Bansang 수작반상 by hapjeong station. All the banchan are made in house and they are creative in the presentation. Not exactly fusion, but not traditional.  It's nostalgic, fun fare. #koreanfood #hapjeong #seouleats 마포구 서교동 484-25 

No Carb, Creamy Avocado Omelette

Creamy Avocado Omelette! It's something you can do with overripe avocados. Just mash them, add some salt, olive oil, lime juice and two eggs. Just pan fry with very little oil. It's delicious and creamy. #avocado #seouleats #cooking #breakfast #nocarbs 

Bowl of Beef Noodles from Soi Yeonnam

Had the famous beef noodles from Soi Yeonnam. Its a satisfying bowl of noodles like no other in Korea but it is a tad on the sweet side. The beef is incredibly tender and flavorful and I like their somtam, but it could be spicier. #seouleats #korea #yeonnamdong  Seoul, Mapo-gu Yeonnam-dong 229-67  Ph 02-323-5130

Is the Cuban Sandwich at Cuban Kings worth your time?

Having a Cuban sandwich with tomato soup at Cuba Kings. Soup is great. Has some toasted rice on top and it is nicely spiced with decent body. The sandwich would have been great if it was freshly toasted instead of premade and briefly heated. Meh. #cuban #koreanfood #seouleats A photo posted by Seoul Eats By Yoonie and Danny (@seouleats) on Nov 25, 2016 at 7:09pm PST The sandwich would have been great if they made it fresh. The tomato soup was wonderful and I loved the toasted rice bits in it. Not bad. Not Bad. Dan

Cooking for Hazellbaby

As a new father with a quickly growing daughter, I had learned to adapt quickly in order to feed my little spawn. She has gone through the milk phase and then just rice phase and now she wants flavor. Well...flavor with some compromises. I have to get nutrients into my little girl while also making food fun. After all, I do have a reputation to uphold.  Feeding a baby is a fun challenge. Of course my little carrot would love to eat ice cream all day. Seriously. She loves soft serve ice cream, it is not very nutritious and I don't want her consuming so much sugar. She would also love strawberries all the time but at 20,000 won per container its not a viable snack.  My little meatball does love tofu but tofu is a tad salty. She also likes eggs, spinach and noodles. Actually, she likes a lot of food but they must be in a fun form factor for her to enjoy them.  Take carrots. She could take them or leave them. I could boil them and mash them but that ...

Chongusuk Kalguksu

For the last year I have been involved in a startup called iFood Korea in which I work with my foodie friends. Our goal was to created a curated food community by industry professionals. We have been supporting the chef's community by asking the restaurants they like and then sending our teams to make content about it. I will be sharing some of the content here as well. I hope you will go out and enjoy eating at the different places the chefs recommend.  Content created by @marketsqkr on instagram "You can have both lots of clams and handmade chewy noodle in Kalguksu. I go here whenever i want to have a good soup." This is 'Chongusuk Kalguksu' recommended by chef Mihwa Kim. * Chongusuk Kalguksu * Address: Seoul Youngsan-gu Itaewonro 55gagil 12-1 * Phone: 02-796-6204  Google Map Link:  12-1 Itaewon-ro 55ga-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul https://goo.gl/maps/eevVX49sq9J2

Life as a Dad

Life has been busy these days because I am a dad. The only person that gets a hot meal in my house is my daughter. It's all good though since she is so cute.
