Just having a Ninkasi Oatis Oatmeal Stout. It's from Eugene Oregon and has a 7.2 alcohol percent by volume. It's a thick beer with a strong soy sauce flavor and a Guiness-like finish. I can't say it is the most easy drinking. It is complex and thick like a stout. I think it is better as a draft but in Korea that is not an option. It's 7,500 won a bottle at Craft Han's in Itaewon.

In Korea everyone is juicing. Right now I am doing some orange juice but the popular drink is haedok juice or detox juice. It's green and made from onions, turnips, carrots, anything green and much more. I don't have a recipe yet but my wife is going to make me some tomorrow since she says I need to lose 20kg. Yeah right. Anyway, if you need to get an expensive gift for your Korean foodie, then a good juicer is the cabbage patch kid of 2014. Good ones start at 300,000 won. We got ours from hurom.
One of the hot issues in Korea is how restaurants have been serving unclean gopchang or pig intestines. The food inspection bureau found out that many of the restaurants were not properly cleaning the intestines so there was an excess amount of fecal matter in the food. The food inspection bureau inspected 25 restaurants but 18 of them failed the cleanliness test. Another issue is that a group selling site "wemakeprice" sold coupons for many gopchang restaurants and many a very customers are demanding a refund. Pig intestines although cheap require lots of soaking and scrubbing to properly clean. Restaurants were skipping repeated cleanings so they could cut down on labor costs. If you pass by a pork intestine barbecue place and you see a notice, it's to prove that they were tested and the place is clean.
I know I have mentioned this place before but people keeping asking me for the location so here it is again. Hong Cup does a sweet and spicy fried chicken in a cup with some chewy rice cakes and tater tots. It's great with a beer or for just walking around. If can add cheese if you are feeling cheesy.

One of Korea's must eat dishes is Chogaejjim and a good place to get it is at Golmokgil over by Nonhyun Station. You get a huge bucket of various steamed clams, giant mussels, scallops and more. The broth is later used to make a satisfying kimchi noodle soup. It's not cheap (starts at 49,000) but it is a unique and delicious way to eat clams. It is best in winter so go now.
