Hana Okonomiyaki

June 12, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food, Seoul, South Korea

I'm starting this post with a little confession that I didn't know the name of this place until I was about to write this post. The main reason is this place is right around my neighborhood, passed this place like thousands of times, but never bothered to read the name of the place. I only knew this spot as 'that-okonomiyaki-place-that-always-have-people-lining-up-for-seats'. First I thought maybe because the place is pretty small, but after I finally had the chance to try this place, I can see why.

Hana Okonomiyaki (하나 오코노미야키 야키소바 a.k.a 신촌 하나) is located in Sinchon neighborhood, in between Sinchon Station and Ehwa Station. The place is famous for their okonomiyaki and yakisoba, and I asked my Japanese friends and they said the taste is pretty good and authentic. The price is also relatively not expensive, ranging from 7,000—9,000KRW. I let my friends ordered last time so I'm not exactly sure what we ordered, but everything was delicious. We even ordered seconds too. Tips: If you come here during dinner time, come early or you'll most likely will have to wait for seats. Go during lunch time since there's usually fewer people waiting in line.

Seoul Restaurant Series: The Dining Lab (더다이닝랩), Donggyodong (동교동), Seoul, South Korea.

The Dining Lab

May 07, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food, Seoul, South Korea

The Dining Lab (더다이닝랩) is probably one of my favorite restaurants in Seoul. Located in the Donggyodong (동교동) neighborhood, I'm surprised to find this restaurant away from the more crowded area of Hongdae. The restaurant is small. They have only a couple tables and a bar area that is facing the open kitchen. If you want to see the action in the kitchen, sitting at the bar will definitely get you that. Their food is really good. I've been here a couple of times and tried different things and I love them all. I'm more of a meat person overall so I'm really picky when eating my veggies, but the way the cook their veggies here is good. Everything is cooked in the right way and seasoned really well. Although, the portion is a little small compared to the price, but I can live with that since I don't come here everyday :P. If you're looking to try something new around Hongdae area, I would definitely recommend this place.

Salmon Dinner

April 09, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food

Salmon is probably my favorite fish, especially when it comes to sushi/sashimi. Been craving for sushi these past few days for some odd reason. So here's a quick short post on my visit to a Japanese restaurant around Hyehwa (혀화) Neighborhood. Hope everybody have a good weekend!

Plant

March 31, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food, Weekend

I have heard many good reviews about Plant (플랜트), a small vegan bakery/cafe in Itaewon (이태원) run by Alien's Day Out. Having never been there before, I was looking forward to taste their food when Noah & Hannah suggested to go there for lunch. They only have 2 items on their lunch menu, so we ordered both of them to try — the Lentil Veggie Burger & Tempeh Carrot Slaw Wrap & Cream of Broccoli Soup. Both of them were great! I had the Lentil Veggie Burger and for a burger without any meat on it, it was pretty darn good. Everything was very flavorful and it filled me up just right. I heard their cakes are pretty good too, but since I didn't get to try that, I'll save that for my next visit.

Daimon Kitchen

March 12, 2015 by greysuitcase in Food

Life has been crazy these past few weeks. Good crazy though. I've been doing a lot of things that I enjoy and the only downside is there seems to be not enough time to do everything, including rest I must say. Anyways, been trying to try new restaurants and cafes lately since I'm kinda required to stay mostly indoors these days with the works that I need to get done. So first one up, is Daimon Kitchen (다이몬키친), a ramen restaurant that just opened around Sinchon/Ehwa area. Their ramen, ramen broth, and eggs are pretty good, although I wish they have more meat though :) Also, I went during lunch and they have a set where you get Ramen and a small donburi with a small additional fee. That tastes good too.
