Earlier this week, I headed over to Ansan to meet up with some acquaintances. Since everyone got off work at different times and not all of us had arrived yet, we decided to fill up our stomachs and grab a few beers first. That’s how we ended up visiting 용용선생 (a Hong Kong-inspired Chinese pub…
(Continuing from the Ganggane Tteokbokki post.) I stopped by 아베베베이커리 (Abebe Bakery), a spot many bread lovers had probably heard about at least once while visiting Gwangjang Market. If you’re into pastries and donuts, you probably already knew this famous Jeju donut hotspot! 🚶♂️ Stepping into Abebe Bakery With a Pilgrimage-Worthy Line A short walk…
(Continuing from Ganggane Tteokbokki and Abebe Bakery.) That was the day I had tteokbokki and cream bread for lunch at Gwangjang Market. I was completely full and enjoyed every bite, but something still felt missing. Then it hit me. I needed some protein! So I headed over to 아소정 (Asojeong) near Cheongnyangni Station. Asojeong is…
On days when the sky looked beautifully blue like it has lately, staying at home felt like a waste, and I just wanted to get out and walk somewhere. Today’s spot was 개뿔 (Cafe Gaeppul), a scenic café you could reach by starting at Dongdaemun Station and following the old fortress wall trail. It was…
Today, I brought a review of 선비칼국수 선릉점 (Seonbi Kalguksu’s Seolleung branch), a great spot for rich perilla seed kalguksu that helped soothe a tired stomach after work. At just over 10,000 KRW, I got to enjoy a deep perilla broth and a special bowl featuring two different noodle textures. The complimentary yeolmu barley rice…
These days, Fukuoka is easily one of the most popular overseas destinations for Korean travelers! I headed to Fukuoka on a business trip this time. Even though it was technically work, I was already in full travel mode, thinking about all the great food spots around Tenjin! ✈️ Since the flight to Fukuoka is so…
After I landed at Fukuoka Airport and unpacked at my hotel, the exhaustion hit me all at once. At times like that, there’s only one answer: a steaming hot soup to wash away the fatigue. For my long-awaited first meal in Fukuoka, I headed over to Ichifuji (a famous Hakata motsunabe restaurant) near my hotel….
For some reason, it rained quite often in Fukuoka. Whenever I looked for an indoor spot that was comfortable to explore regardless of the weather, the area around Hakata Station couldn’t be beaten. Hakata Station was also one of those places I always ended up visiting at least once for food or shopping. During this…
Last week, the weather was gloomy, so I looked for a place where I could move around indoors for a change and ended up checking out 점핑배틀 (Jumping Battle) in Konkuk! It’s a great indoor activity spot where you can work up a sweat in a short amount of time. It felt like a perfect…
Last week, I originally planned to eat lamb skewers in Konkuk University, but maybe because the weather looked a little gloomy, I suddenly craved something spicy that evening. So I ended up checking out 미친쭈꾸미 건대본점 (Michin Jjukkumi’s main Konkuk University branch). This generous restaurant served spicy jjukkumi pork belly along with three unlimited side…
