All 썸네일형 리스트형 Songkran can be the good choice when you lose your appetite. Usually, Mexican, Italian, and Thai food are called as the world’s three best foods.

Besides, there are many kinds of cuisine in the world like Chinese, French, Japanese, Arab cuisine. Among them, the hottest national dishes may be Thai food a.. 더보기 Banana Grill in Seorae Village As someone who grew up regularly eating hamburgers from fast food chains and restaurants, which specialize in gourmet burgers, in the United States, I’m a bit more skeptical when it comes to claiming a place as one of the best tasting.

Actually, it looks too boring to be called as the ‘climax’. Showers are expected to bring slightly cooler temperature, but in reality the humidity is high and the discomfort index is just like the one of summer.

As I know, Samgyetang is origin.. 더보기 Made In Korea: The Delicious Taste of Korean Style Chinese Food. When walking around the busy streets of Seoul, you are easily bound to come across a plethora of Korean-Chinese food. Just in my neighborhood alone, it is home to four of them, all a few minutes distance from one another. So, to put it mildly, competition is pretty fierce.

PizzaGate's "Buy 1 Get 1 Free" To me, a large-sized franchise pizza is a LARGE, scrumptiously greasy, right-out-of-the-oven-hot pizza that should feed around 3 "normal" yet hungry people (I'm certain this is arguable) for a cost of about $10~$15. Having that expectation wherever I went would only result in disappointment, since coming to Korea I've realized that most pizzas in Korean franchises unfortunately do not meet these.. 더보기 Quality Boba and Milk Tea at "Gong Cha" Boba isn't the most popular beverage in Korea ... yet. Coming from a place where boba was virtually anywhere and was considered as "cool" as the drink itself, I wasn't used to not having these around.

On that road towards the entrace of that hiking trail, a rather large two-floor cafe sat rather isolated and a bit out of place.

Both streets were right next to each other, making my indecisi.. 더보기 Refreshing madness! Handmade Buckwheat Makguksu from "Carrot Squid" It's monsoon season and temperatures are soaring up past 30 degrees Celsius.
