Homeboy Seoul Pop-Up In case you missed it, Tuesday January 9th was the latest and greatest (well…only for me thus far) pop-up from the Manimal Team. From the people who have recently brought us KiKi Chanting, Homeboy Seoul (by Junki, Sanyoon, Mili, and Matt) was a feast of “Asian street food bites with unique cocktails”. Great…

Seoul Food: Gino’s Pizza – Gangnam (Apgujeong)
New York Pizza in Gangnam? Café Kudeta (카페쿠데타) in Apgujeong Rodeo area closed recently, much to my friends’ chagrin. I work between the Apgujeong and Rodeo subway stations. Even though we have an hour for lunch, it’s not always enough time to have a Korean meal. We have grown tired of many of the Western-style restaurants,…
Seoul Food: Bali in Mangwon
Bali in Mangwon It’s no secret that Bali is high on my list of places to sink my teeth into once my final contract in Korea is complete. I had no idea I’d get my wish so quickly (and literally) this Chuseok vacation! Bali in Mangwon is a “Surfer-made Balinese food & drink” stop a…

South of the Han there are SO many cafes, restaurants, bars, clubs, lounges, and hofs that making a decision can be infuriating. If you’re looking for an after-work hangout, CraftBros Bottle & Tap House is a great Apgujeong…
SeoulFood: MADE Restaurant
I love to mix and match. My favourite thing to do at a restaurant is order a whole bunch of dishes with friends and have nibbles here and there to satisfy every craving. Beyond the unlimited, cheap, and cheerful wine, why do you think I love Ashley’s so much? When a friend suggested we check…
SeoulFood: Pakito Taberna Española
Spanish Food in Seoul Spanish food isn’t something you’d expect to find readily available in Korea. Pakito Taberna Española was a great little restaurant in Hongdae (closed now 🙁 wahhh) when you’re craving Spanish food in Seoul. It’s a hidden gem where you’ll find jamon, chorizo, paella, pintxos, and wine! We went in on a…
Seoul Food: Guilty Pleasure
Brunch is an affair enjoyed at leisure with rich food and great company. In fact, one might say that Brunch is my most favourite guilty pleasure.
