Caution the Single Use Grill
2007-09-15 07:00:00 My friend Kurt Graham had one of these at his housewarming a few months ago. I saw one at my local K-Mart (the local grocer, not the American big box superstore) for just 6,000 won (~$6). Really? I can grill stuff at home for $6? How could I resist? The opportunity came last ... More About: Single , Grill
Careful What You Eat
2007-09-15 04:16:00 The Korea Times has published an editorial about the sad state of Korean food regulatory agencies and all the harmful products they are allowing consumers to make uninformed purchases for — both imported and domestic. Why? Rep. Chang, a member of the Health and Welfare Committee at the National Assembly, said the KFDA enforces many non-binding ... More About: News , Careful
What About Bob?
2007-09-14 04:10:00 I saw this ad on TV, and I went, “Wha…?” It’s not just the ad itself. Just think about it — Bob and Yogurt?Oh, that was a transfer of the Korean script to English. I’d pronounce it more “Bap” and Yogurt. And, yes, it’s bap — rice. Rice and yogurt — together at last! ...
Ilpoom Andong Soju ? The REAL Stuff
2007-09-05 04:45:00 You think you know soju? I thought I knew soju. It’s cheap enough in Korea to become easily acquaintable. I can only drink it when I’m in the mood for it. I recently did some more research on soju for an article I wrote for SEOUL Magazine, and I became simultaneously repulsed and intrigued. What ... More About: Drink , Stuff , Real , Dong
The Amateur Gourmet. Cool Dude.
2007-09-04 18:33:00 I’ve been a fan of the Amateur Gourmet for a long while. It’s funny that we both started blogging at around the same time. He started in Atlanta in early 2004. I started in Korea soon after leaving Atlanta in early 2004. Of course, my original blog was personal stuff ... More About: Books , Dude , Cool
Korean Redneck Wings from Fencerider
2007-09-04 05:08:00 (From A View from the Fence) Fencerider has posted a Kore an chicken wing recipe that I’m gonna have to try. I’m going to have a hard time finding molasses.

Late Night Korean Fried Chicken Pub in San Francisco
2007-08-31 01:16:00 The Examiner reviews Toyose, a Korean hof in San Francisco that serves the now popular Korean fried chicken, along with Korean beers and yogurt soju cocktails. Sounds fairly authentic from the article. They have Haemul Pajeon (”pizza-sized seafood and scallion pancake…crisp on the outside, soft inside”), Kimchi Sogogi BokkeumBap (”kimchee and beef fried rice…red, ...

One Less Vegetarian in Korea
2007-08-27 01:53:00 I don’t understand. Ohmy News is publishing diary entries? What was the point of that article? It sounded like pointless soul searching. If you don’t feel like reading it, I’ll give you the gist of it. It’s written by a British woman who’s leaving Kore a soon. She was a vegetarian before she came to Korea. ...

Korean Baba Ganoush
2007-08-26 05:58:00 We are flooded with summer eggplants. What to do with them all? Eun Jeong usually makes a Kore an side dish by chopping them up, cooking them a little, and marinating them in a sauce similar to her other side dishes. It’s good, but I wanted something different. So I did basically what she did but ... More About: Fusion
Gobchang Gui ? Revisited
2007-08-26 05:24:00 I talked about Gobchang Gui ?? ? in one of the ZKFJ’s first posts. It’s so good that I need to talk about it again. I have had it a few times, and no place beat the little place I used to go to in Ansan until now. A new restaurant has opened at ... More About: Chang , Chan
Move Over Crunchy Frog ? Here?s Crunchy Shrimp
2007-08-26 04:54:00 I have mentioned in the past that the Shrimp Burgers are one of the few things Lotteria does well. So I was intrigued when they came out with Crunchy Sae-u ??? ??, which are basically the Shrimp Burger patties made smaller with more panko breadcrumb breading. Yes, they do taste like the Shrimp Burgers. ... More About: Frog , Move , Junk
Tuna Burritos and Korean Frozen Meatballs
2007-08-26 04:47:00 Saw this at E-Mart the other day and had to pick it up. It’s the first indication that Mexican food is starting to get accepted at the supermarket level. Granted, tuna burritos are hardly Mexican. It’s just the fact that there’s a product there wrapped in a tortilla that is called a “burrito,” as ... More About: Korean , Tuna , Junk , Meatballs , Kore
Tomato Popsicle
2007-08-26 04:37:00 I know that technically a tomato is a fruit. In Korea, it is literally treated as a fruit. They are usually sold in the fruit section of stores. In my first year teaching kindergarten, the school served snacks to the kids every day. One time it was a plate of chunked tomatoes — with ... More About: Tomato
Peach ?Sports? Ice
2007-08-26 04:25:00 I’ve been doing my morning jogs on the mountain again. When I come back down, I usually stop by a little convenience store for some water. This one time, I wanted to also get a little frozen treat, like a pineapple popsicle. Then I found this Peach “Spor ts ” Ice. Looked interesting, and it was ... More About: Ports
More Than One Hui
2007-08-16 04:43:00 Can you believe that this video gets more controversy on YouTube than the live octopus video? Yes, there is some live octopus in there, but that’s not the controversy. There seems to be a string of Japanese folks or Nipponphiles who are slamming the restaurant for trying to copy Japanese food. Hold on right there! This ...
Globat Alert
2007-08-10 02:35:00 I’d change hosting providers, but I’ve already paid for a few years hosting already. This is an alert to anyone hosted by Globat–they are doing it again.

China Factory
2007-08-02 10:42:00 Gdog at The Daily Kimchi has already done a good take on the China Factor y , a new Korean-owned Chinese bistro chain from the company that brought you VIPS Steakhouse. This definitely isn’t your usual Tangsuyuk and JjajangMyeon Chinese joint, even though the name conjures images of children making shoes in an unventilated warehouse. It’s quite ...

Spiral Fried Potatoes
2007-08-02 09:49:00 The Myeong-dong area is full of shops. It’s also full of street food stands. They all tend to sell the same thing–which is usually the latest trend in Korean street food. Last year there were rows of Takoyaki stalls. Now they’re all gone. Everyone is doing these spiral cut fried potatoes. Cool concept. It looks ... More About: Potatoes , Fried
Han Jeong Shik I
2007-08-02 09:41:00 That “I” in the title stands for “1.” Roman numerals are dandy. Whenever I have a good meal, I tend to take pictures of it. Yet many meals are just general Korean “Han Jeong Shik” ???, which is code for “Whatever we have today,” or “Lunch du Jour.” So I’ll just recap some lunches. This one ...
?Popping Sue? ? Revisited
2007-08-02 09:30:00 It’s been a year since I first did a piece on Patbingsu, the Korean summertime treat. I have since grown a fondness for it. It’s like a snow cone with lots of stuff thrown in and stirred together like bibimbap. It also seems to be more popular this year, with Patbingsu ice shavers, bowls ... More About: Ping , Poppi

American BBQ Expert Learning Korean BBQ
2007-08-01 04:21:00 Barbecue expert Jamie Purviance was in Seoul this past week studying about Korean BBQ for an upcoming book on world BBQ. He particularly liked DalkGalbi (smothered stir-fried chicken) and Daechang (a part of cow intestine). Even so, I disagreed with his assessment of kimchi in America. He said that American s find kimchi too spicy ... More About: News , Learning , Expert
S-Hite it?s Hite-S
2007-07-23 13:42:00 “Smooth & light premium beer exclusively designed for well-being of young generation.”Actually, it’s Hite Exfeel-S. Far from being a perfect palindrome. Irresistible, nonetheless. I finally found these bottles of this “stylish beer with fiber” on sale this week. I had a couple with dinner that night. The taste wasn’t as bad as ... More About: Drink
Fast Food Dying in Korea?
2007-07-23 06:51:00 The Korea Times posted an article stating that McDonald’s is closing its first store in Korea since it first stepped foot on the peninsula almost 20 years ago.

Gochujang and Ginseng ? Recognize
More articles from this author:2007-07-16 08:57:00 The Codex Alimentarius Commission in Rome has pronounced gochujang (red pepper paste) and ginseng as unique Korean foods. It’s notable that ginseng, usually classified as a medicine, is labeled as a food in this report. This could open ginseng to more relaxed regulations when imported into other countries.
