My Food list! Grilled EEEEL!

In my list ! It’s in my list! 공평동꼼장어 (Gongpyeongdong Grilled Eel ? )  sells grilled eel, pork belly, chicken feets and anything you can grill.

It’s very popular and the pictures that i saw, it’s just irresistable! I like eel but it’s kinda expensive because of unagi ( Japanese eel) or i guess that’s the only kind of eel dish that i know.

There are some main meal you can get like kimchi sujaebi or kalguksu and the bento ( traditional Korean bento ) that i find it interesting..but probably would stick to kimchi sujaebi if i got a chance to visit! 🙂

Below are the outlet of this restaurant..but they are more or less at the same area. It opens at 430pm till 11pm and some website says open till midnight 4am. I am not sure which one is true but it definitely is fit in my dinner list!

My Food List – 주해수산 It’s time for some seafood!

This i guess is kinda popular among Koreans, not so much of a tourist thingy i guess ..partly could be because of the price.

주해수산 is located at Shin Chon, it is popular with it’s king crab ! what else can i say ?

This is in my list mostly because it makes the seafood easier for you to eat and it’s crab, not just normal crab but king crab!!

Omg! Looking at the photos just can’t stop drooling! The price is as expected expensive but i think it worth to try!

I know sometimes you need to have a video to make you drool more! ( LOL )!

Food List! Something not spicy !

For those who can’t eat spicy food, here’s the savior!

Honestly, i love spicy food but there are times that you don’t feel like eating them and want something mild. 🙂

At then, this is what you can get ! 돼지국밥 (dwijigukbap) ! Pork soup with rice. This is seriously famous in Busan but you can find some good 돼지국밥 in Seoul too like in 돈수백 (Donsoopaek) ! It’s a franchise od pork soup that you can easily find it . It has outlet in Hongdae, Seoul City hall, Gangnam and Seoul station. I think i walked pass the one at Hongdae before. You can visit their website to find the nearest outlet and the update of menu ( although for me, classic is always the best !)

Website : http://www.donsoobaek.com/main/main.php

What’s the best thing about this is it opens 24 hours! It’s a bonus for tourist like us ( time is really precious!)

Some may find Dwijigukbap is too mild or even tasteless but for people like me ( who loves to eat spicy and with lots of spice and seasoning -,- let’s just call it MSG LOL), i like the mild taste yet rich taste of the pork soup compliment with crispy kaktugi (깍도기) a side dish and the soft and tender pork !

Where to go if you don’t have much time in Seoul? Gwangjang Market!

Gwangjang market is also in my to-eat-list!

For those who don’t have much time (probably just a short business trip people) and if you really want to experience Korea, i would recommend Gwangjang Market! Gwangjang Market is one of the traditional market, you can eat all the authetic Korean street food there and they also a collection of fabrics on second floor!

If you ( i am actually also reminding myself 🙂 ) go Gwangjang Market, you have to eat Mayak Kimbap and Bindaetuk ( Mung Bean Pancake)!!!

One good thing about Gwangjang Market is that it opens at about around 10am and close at about 9 pm! This is really good for those that have really short time in Seoul ( coz i myself really understand you don’t have much time if it’s a business trip, you probably don’t even have a 1 day free time to walk around)

My Food List – Galchi jorim at 고객식당 in Jeju!

I am not sure i should go this place because the galchi jorim (braised hairtail) is expensive (35,000 Won). I have saw some that commented there is nothing special about it but some are like they really like it. I guess i will go ( like i am going very soon -,-;) if i have free time.

고객식당 is popular among Korean because it appeared on some kind of food show. They are famous for their galchi jorim.

Anyway i just put it in my list just in case because the picture looks yummy and it’s in a market (shijang) so is easy to plan to go while visiting the market.

My Food List – Melon Bingsoo

Bingsoo is one of my favorite ! I like shaved ice!
When you talk about Melon Bingsoo, the most popular these days would like this picture below.

However! Recently i found this! I know there is not much different from the top one but still this looks new to me. I adore their idea of flipping the melon flesh and make it looks like a whole big melon! Underneath the melon flesh there are 2 types of it. One is yogurt with cheese cake ( <3) and another one is the traditional patbingsoo. Hope that they would be available all year round!

Besides the melon bingsoo, this one below i forgotten about the name but is kind of a traditional version of bingsoo. The picture looks nice. Hope i got a chance to try it out 🙂

My Food List – 자연별곡 (Korean Buffet)

To me, i always have lots of plan where to eat this and that but as you know, food in korea always come in big portion (or i would be stuffed by those 반찬 – side dishes before my main course is ready -,-) so i always ended up cancel some of my plans RELUCTANTLY at the end.

Well now, since i have this 자연별곡 (chayeonpyulgugk) I can have many different types of awesome Korean food in a single plate ( smaller portion ) ^^  There are meanings in each word of  자연별곡 :

自자 : 제철 식재료, 자연을 맛보다. Seasonal ingredients, natural taste
然연 : 왕의 밥상, 역사를 맛보다. Dining table of the king. taste of history
別별 : 전통의 재해석, 별미를 맛보다. Interpret tradition, taste delicacies.
曲곡 : 전국 방방곡곡, 팔도를 맛보다 Savour the taste all over the countries (from eight provinces ) 

They have lots of branches in Seoul like hongdae, myeongdong etc. The menus are different for lunch and dinner so as the price. For WEEKDAY lunch, it’s 12,900 won/person whereas dinner/weekend/national holiday it’s 19,000 won.

The lunch hour is from 10am to 4pm; dinner is 4 pm to 10 pm. If you are going on weekend/national holiday, the time would be just form 10am to 10 pm (no restriction on lunch or dinner). HOWEVER!  like normal buffet there is a time limit .. it’s 2 hours.. 😦

My Food List – Queens Bagel @ 홍대 Hongdae

This is definitely in my list!! I am a bagel lover!Queens bagel serves a variety of filling ( grapefruit cream, blueberry, earl grey cream…. you name it!). I really want to try earl grey and grapefruit! They also have a range of bagels to choose from like multigrain , wholemeal blah blah blah!
