Grilled Fish at Eo Gumteo 어굼터 PLUS Fish Translations

Grilled Fish at Eo Gumteo 어굼터 PLUS Fish Translations

You find this chain of restaurants everywhere in Korea.  Their specialty is grilled fish--and it's lovely grilled fish.  I wasn't much of a fish lover before Korea, and some food snobs love to snipe about Korean fish--but come on!  It's freakin' grilled fish!  Crispy...

Vintage Post: Lamb Galbi Restaurant in Anyang

When I ride above-ground transportation through Korea, I like to play a game where I read as many Korean signs as I can before they pass by. As a result, my reading speed is about at the level of a five-year-old's. On the bus home from work last week, I caught this...

Sh-wing is a small restaurant in Apgujeong that serves American-style buffalo wings. It is one of our favorite spots. Because it's far away from most of us, we tend to go only once every one or two months. We usually go during their all-you-can-eat wings time slot....

Vintage Post: Indio–How to Begin a Friday Night
