I visited 한점에 한잔 우정초밥 (Hanjeome Hanjan Ujeong Sushi) with my family to celebrate my mom’s birthday. Ujeong Sushi had actually been known for its great-value omakase for years. Since May this year, it seemed to have split its concept between lunch and dinner service. Lunch operated as a sushi omakase, while dinner transformed into…
Did you know there’s actually a “Nepal Food Street” near Dongdaemun in Seoul? If you’ve ever walked around the Dongdaemun–Dongmyo (Changsin-dong area) on a weekend afternoon and wondered why there were so many South Asian people around, the answer was simple: the area was packed with great Nepalese and Indian curry restaurants. So today, I’m…
( Continued from my visit to a popular Indian curry restaurant. ) After finishing a great meal, I headed out for a light walk around Dongdaemun to help digest everything. While strolling around, I spotted a cafe with an especially beautiful exterior. The retro wood-toned storefront immediately caught my eye, and I got curious about…
Hello! Today, I’d like to introduce a restaurant I checked out when I suddenly found myself craving a bowl of rich ramen for lunch. My girlfriend told me Choi Ramen was well known for its tonkotsu ramen and mazesoba, so we headed over to give it a try. This was 초이라멘 (Choi Ramen) in Dongdaemun….
Yesterday, the weather was so nice that I found myself craving a beer with friends for the first time in a while. I couldn’t have been the only one, right? Haha.

Today, I’d like to introduce a great spot near Seolleung Station where office workers can grab a light yet filling meal. This is a proper lunch recommendation for anyone wondering what to eat. If you’re an office worker, choosing what to eat every day during lunch breaks or after work is probably one of the…
Last week, I met up with former teammates from my previous job for a cozy get-together that felt a lot like a company dinner. Even after changing jobs, I’ve stayed in touch with my old coworkers, so it was great catching up with everyone. Instead of the usual pork belly or beef we always had…
Those of you spending long hours working on a computer these days—how’s your wrist health holding up? I spend all day using a keyboard and mouse, so I’ve become much more interested in finding gear that actually fits me. That’s why I finally headed over to 세모키 (The World of Keyboards), a keyboard testing shop…
The weather’s been so nice lately that plenty of people have been heading off to Gangwon-do on weekends and holidays, right? I also got away with some close friends and spent time around Goseong and Sokcho. After staying one night at Kensington Resort and stopping by Misiryeong Valley, we looked for a restaurant for a…
(Continuing from my visit to a keyboard typing shop.) After leaving the shop, I started getting hungry. Maybe because it was the day after the rain, the extra humidity made it feel even hotter than usual. I found myself craving something cold, and mulhoe suddenly came to mind. While looking for a nearby spot that…
