Star Chef

What wonderful things can I say about Star Chef restaurant that hasn’t already been said by FatManSeoul or ZenKimchi?  I wholeheartedly agree with them – the restaurant is fantastic.  Yesterday, I was reading ZenKimchi’s blog and came upon his Star Chef post.  Since the food looked amazing, and we were going to be in the [...]

Lemonade Ice Cream

I’m always on the lookout for new ice cream bars, so this lemonade bar caught my eye.  Luckily, since it’s still summer, it was also half off at the local store.  What a steal for 350 won (~35 cents USD). The flavor was nice, but it was a tad too sweet for me.  It was [...]

Hancock Reviewed

I went to a pre-screening of Hancock tonight with the Metropolitician, his two Korean friends, and a photography classmate.  The movie opens tomorrow in Korea.  Tickets were confirmed this morning, and I rushed to the subway station after work. When we arrived at the Yongsan CGV to take our seats, everyone had to check in [...]

El Plato

Last weekend, we went with Reardon to a tapas restaurant, El Plato.  It’s located on the side street across from “Tea Purple” in Hongdae.  Phone #: 02-325-3515.  The sign on the door said, “Taste Amazing Spanish Food.”  We knew not to get our hopes up, but you know what?  The food was DELICIOUS!  The cooks [...]

This first installment will be about my, Ras’, and Barry Bond’s Saturday trip to the Yeoido public swimming pool. You see, Reardon has been dubbed Barry Bonds by Kevin because he cheated at Scrabble. This occurred the [...]

With free vocabulary downloads, audio and video integration, several ways to practice and learn your vocabulary, and even iPod integration, this app looks [...]

Time Magazine just did a story on Facebook, which is good timing because I’ve been wanting to write about this social-networking platform for a couple weeks now. I’ve known about Facebook for a couple years now, but didn’t know if I had the time or energy for another “Friendster.” To tell you the truth, the [...]

Chuncheon Dakalbi: Myung Mule Restaurant

A couple days ago, Ras and I tore ourselves away long enough from the apartment to go downtown and have Chuncheon’s famous dakalbi (dakgalbi). Friends will know this is my favorite Korean food, and I don’t get a chance to eat it very often. The last time I had Chuncheon dakalbi was two and a [...]
