Did this week’s sudden heat leave you feeling a little drained too? At times like this, the saying “When the pressure’s low, head for meat” really seemed true. 😋 Today, I’m sharing my visit to Hanwoo Town Charcoal Grill Butcher Restaurant, where I filled up on a hearty meal with friends not long ago. The…
Hello! Today, I’d like to introduce a great place near Gwanghwamun where I had a wonderfully atmospheric meal. I’d originally planned to eat at another pasta restaurant near Gwanghwamun, but the wait was far too long, so I ended up coming here as a backup option. It turned out to be so good that I…
Looking at the calendar, it was already late June. The midday heat had started to make me sweat, and it really felt like summer was right around the corner. The hotter the weather gets, the more I find myself craving a nourishing meal that fills you up from the inside out. So today, I brought…
2026 Hangang Cross Swimming Competition! This event’s famous for getting postponed or canceled year after year whenever it rains, and it’s been through all kinds of setbacks. This time too, rain was in the forecast a week in advance, so I kept watching and wondering whether it would actually go ahead… Finally, on race day…
This week, my team and I went out for dinner at a special spot near Jonggak Station. We didn’t want the usual meat-grilling joint or a typical pub, so we looked around and stumbled upon Sudowon (Secret Abbey).

Sometimes you just want a place where you can actually hear the person sitting across from you. Dongmyo is a fantastic neighborhood to wander around, especially with all the vintage markets and street stalls. But finding a dining spot that prioritizes a mellow atmosphere over a fast table turnover can take a bit of searching….
Lately, the evening weather has been warming up just enough to make you want to stay outside a bit longer. My girlfriend and I grabbed dinner, and since we wanted to walk it off and catch up properly, we went looking for a place with a solid atmosphere. Dongmyo usually feels like a pretty busy…
It was rainy Sunday in Seoul. When the weather is a bit gloomy, I usually prefer to put outdoor plans on hold and just visit a large indoor shopping complex. Last weekend, we headed to Yongsan I-Park Mall for a lunch. Often, mall food courts tend to offer heavy or greasy options, but we were…
Now that the weather’s finally warming up, don’t you just crave grilling outside instead of being stuck in a stuffy restaurant? I always look for that classic outdoor dining vibe—known as *yajang* in Korea—but finding the right spot can be tricky. Usually, outdoor dining around Jongno and Euljiro areas means sitting shoulder-to-shoulder with strangers, trying…
