Spent the Friday evening at Gang Nam Station grubbing, eye shopping, and people watching which once again confirmed what a dynamic place Seoul is. Love how everything opens late and that there are interesting people everywhere, anytime, all the time. The cafe culture here is just beyond imaginable in Seoul. There is a cute...
That’s what these are. Best 묵 I’ve ever had (acorn jelly? That doesn’t sound very tasty but it’s actually quite good) at Duru (두루) in Cheong Dam Special thanks to my lovely unnis (female friends who are older than me) in Korea :)
Made a random stop in the middle of a bridge to say hi to the ever-so-famous Han River which runs through Seoul from the East to the West. It was so windy I thought I was going to be blown away, but the view was beautiful and the air wasn’t cold at all. Then...
Korea has introduced me to pastels and I’m hooked. A restaurant somewhere in Miryang where we feasted on authentic Korean chicken cuisine aka Sam Gye Tahng.

Since when were the vegetables more expensive and fancier than the meat? It always boggles my mind to see these veggie cuisines priced higher than those made with meat. See, in my motherland Korea, meat is still uber expensive and when I lived there (which was roughly 20 yrs ago) it would cost us...
Rich, creamy custard & juicy strawberry covered in flaky, crispy crust- delightful indeed. Craving Strawberry Croissant from: Cream Pan 602 El Camino Real Tustin, CA 92780
For those of you living in Orange County who don’t enjoy driving 50 miles just to be greeted by 100′s of others waiting in line under a scorching sun while being continuously harassed by the delicious aroma and visuals of just-off-the-grill hot dogs, now you have the luxury of picking one up in the...
