For lunch I wanted to find something cool to eat and we found 교수보쌈 & 감자탕 in Hongdae. Up a steep set of stairs is a small restaurant offering a variety of Korean dishes including potato and pork stew, pork and lettuce wraps, spicy beef tripe hot-pot, fried rice, octopus, hangover stew and what I really [...]
After wandering around Jeju City for a bit we decided to hunt for some place for dinner. It took awhile because a lot of places seemed to be closed a bit early or just weren't what we were wanting. Eventually we ended up at 이돈갓 , a Japanese restaurant on the second floor of a [...]
We decided that while we were on Jeju we wanted to visit at least one of the smaller islands and quickly decided upon Marado and to get there by taking the 755 bus to Moseulpo Harbor. However this also started the first of our problems with the buses on Jeju. First we were sold a [...]
While in Jeju if you're able to eat pork one of the main special dishes to try is Jeju black pork bbq. Our hostel had a suggestion of a place nearby and since we got back a little earlier then expected on our first day we decided to give it a try. I'm not sure [...]
After spending way too long deliberating on where to eat lunch I ended up at Ok Burger, a chain in Seoul, which boasted great onion rings and delicious JJ chicken (Jamaican Jerk Chicken Burgers). I went with Nathalie who ordered both while I ordered the Truffle burger and some regular fries with a Dr. Pepper. [...]
While in Daejeon my friend suggested we eat at a new Japanese fusion restaurant that just opened called Tokkijung Project. She was really surprised that we got a table without a long wait, having warned me that the lines were insane. We were quickly seated at a nice table and proceeded to pour over the [...]
If you visit Daejeon a must is Sung Sim Dang. There's no missing it at the KTX station, just look for the bakery with the long line. What's the line for? Red bean paste bread called Twigim Soboro (튀김소보로). Read bean paste bread not exciting you say? Well this one is big and deep-fried. Even if [...]
As I mentioned in my last post the majority of the food we ate while in Taiwan was street food, or at local restaurants with almost no English. This was something we wouldn't have been able to do easily without our friends who took the time to order everything we ate for us, suggesting their [...]
While in Taiwan the majority of the food we ate was street food, or at traditional restaurants where our friends dealt with ordering food for us. On our final night in Taiwan we decided we wanted to sit down somewhere and not worry. We ended up picking Chamonix, a fancy teppanyaki/French inspired restaurant with set menus. [...]
For our last meal in Luang Prabang our CEO suggested we all meet at Lao Lao Garden, a popular restaurant near Mount Phou Si. It's a beautiful out-door restaurant with great food, though I suggest not ordering their hot-pot at night, it'll take quite awhile to arrive and then you'll find yourself trying to figure [...]
