[Review] 복분자 막걸리 Korean Raspberry Rice Wine

Disclaimer: Hangukdrama does not promote alcoholism, even though she does indulge in a bit of alcohol *ahem* every now and then. For the minors reading Hangukdrama, avert your eyes, scroll

Cafeteria food in Korea

For those who are not familiar with the cafeteria system, it can be overwhelming at the start. Singapore has no such system (at least I haven’t experience it yet), and my first experience of cafeterias was in Yonsei KLI in 2010. Unlike other cafeterias in Korea, Yonsei’s one was relatively easy to figure out. There

[싱가폴 한식당] 왕대박 Wang Dae Bak Restaurant

Seriously, there are so many Korean restaurants in Singapore now. And I just discovered a new (?) gem. Saw a photo uploaded by my Korean friend saying that he had dinner at 왕대박 and it immediately piqued my curiosity. I’m not that sure if the restaurant does live up to its name, but it’s definitely a

[Restaurant] Uzbekistan Food in Korea

When I say dongdaemun, what do you think of? Doota, Good Morning City, aPM and all the shopping malls? Do you know that Dongdaemun also houses a number of Russian and Uzbekistan restaurants in a ‘Russian Street’?

FOOD: 추어탕/추어튀김

Ok I’m actually WALKING and blogging at the same time. This is going to be kind of sarcastic since I’m not happy about some stuff right now. Anyway that was my dinner yesterday. Mudfish boiled in a stew for so long that everything is kinda dissolved. I was like digging through in and wondering WHERE’S

김밥 making day!

Seeing how ridiculous the pricing for kimbab is in here, I’ve decided to make my own! ^^ This is my first try though, and a word of advice: use a sharp knife for cutting the kimbab! That may seem obvious to you, but guess who didn’t do it? I followed this recipe. That’s a site

맛밤

random but I’m really really happy that the local supermart has imported my fav snack in korea!!! I love chestnuts and this is especially yummy since they do not add any weird addictives in it. The packaging is awesome too, it allows you to tear at different layers to get to your chestnut so you

Article/learning resource: Top 7 exotic Korean dishes for foreigners

Came across this article in Korea Herald. Articles like this are not interesting in their content but also serve as a Korean learning resource since there’s a Korean translation of the article at the bottom. Hmm. Out of the 7 dishes, I have only tried 순대 (Sundae). I loved it!!! Guess my reaction is not

My favorite drinks in Korea

I’m not a very ‘drinks’ person and most of the time, I prefer plain water compared to everything else. (okay I know I’m weird) Thus, I dint really try out that many drinks in Korea, compared to my friends ^^ Korea has a HUGE variety of drinks just in normal marts and they all look
