dear foodies/korean addicts. you think you read the 100 things you must eat in Seoul is enough? not yet, because most of them did not introduce you to the famous Suljib (Alcohol place) soup, the fish egg soup. we call it the “al-tang”.

I absolutely love the al-tang. they are chopped in bite sizes and the soup are usually filled with it. yummy. usually a little spicy and has a lot of tofu in it as well. I am not a big fan of tofu just like Mr.JeremyTeo, but eating it with the aromatic soup, it’s pretty good! Continue reading “Fish Egg Soup / Al-Tang” →

one of my missions are to introduce you to not only the special but the local favourites here. and one of it is the FIST RICE! it directly translates to fist rice from Korean because 주목밥 Jumok = fist, bab = rice. my friend told me that the usual Jumokbabs are meant for the poor pfft because it’s huger than a fist and has tuna fillings in it usually. costing 1,5000KRW.

but my first Jumokbab experience was much more fancy as we had bulgogi, spam, kimchi bokkeum etc as fillings. they are also smaller than normal Jumokbabs and they cost 2,5000won-3,000won onwards. but I am pretty sure I am paying for the taste and the variety because it’s really damn good.

this shop is right outside Lotte World called KONG’S RICEBALL. it’s a chain restaurant so if you see any just barge into it =3. that day it was already late but the place was still packed with people.

hungry girl. to eat inside Lotte World you gotta prepare 8,000won for an ordinary Korean Meal that would cost you 4,000won. I’d rather come out have these deliciously expensive riceballs. Continue reading “Jumok-bab/Fist Rice/Riceball” →

if you know me well then you should know that I am not so much of an alcoholic. but after coming to Korea I kind of got used to their Soju and Beer culture where you HAVE TO DRINK. and at the top of all Korean Alcohol, I love Makgeolli. and we drink it with Cider (very similar to 7 Up, can’t really tell the difference anyway). but there are times where you don’t want to go for the usual Makgeolli, Soju or Beer, but some good old drinks you often drink back at your own country.

there are plenty of bars, and mostly very unique and cute. and this one we went to is near the Ikan Bakar in Sinchon on the 2nd floor. you would notice the sweet red window. Continue reading “[Seoul: Sinchon] Just bars in Sinchon” →
