Food Friday (on a Saturday) 5.9.2015
Yes, I am late once again. Those who are simultaneously traveling and managing a blog will understand: sometimes schedules change. Hopefully my readers understand! On to the food! First things first. I know I posted this picture on Facebook, but I feel the need to plug my favorite coffee shop yet again. Homestead Coffee is a chain in Korea that you can find in many areas, but I love my Itaewon location. I am there at least once a week and always order something to drink and e

Food Friday...er...Sunday 5.3.2015
As with any trip, unexpected things can happen. Such is the life of a traveler. Due to unforeseen circumstances this Food Friday is now a Food Sunday. It's a rainy day here in Seoul, perfect for sitting at a coffee shop and spending time writing and editing photos. Last week I traveled to Sokcho, on the east coast of Korea.

Almost every meal comes with banchan, almost always kimchi and/or pickled radish, and the selection is different depending on the restaurant you go to. Apricot citrus tea at a tea shop in Insadong.

Hope you enjoy the first ever Wandering Radish Food Friday!!! All you can eat Korean BBQ. Fantastic Ramen at a little Japanese place in Hongdae (we waited in line for this, and it was incredibly worth it). Tasty jajangmyeon (짜장면) ordered by my friend... ...and manduguk (만두국) from a little alleyway place in Sinchon. Bulgogi (불고기) before... ...and after, in Hongdae. Conveyor line sushi in Sinchon (the sushi was...different...from Japanese sushi, not that great, but really fun).
