Gochugaru Girl has created a dense bitter-sweet cake…
This is to reflect some stupidity on my part.

Cheryl’s Cherry Cake
Gochugaru Girl would like to wish her friend Cheryl a very Happy Birthday.
The question is, of course, when exactly is Cheryl’s birthday?
Killerton House and Garden
Gochugaru Girl had a lovely weekend in Devon with lots of blue skies and clotted cream.
So would you rather be in Northern Italy?
The Shanghai Soup Dumpling Index
Gochugaru Girl is away for the weekend but before that, an update on the Shanghai Soup Dumpling Index first mentioned here in an article on Shanghai’s xiao long bao.
This extraordinary project has been 18 months in the making and will officially launch on April 16, 2015 at 8.30 PM, China time.
Courgette and Lettuce Soup
This is a continuation of last night’s Dinner with Friends.
Having made the Tarte au Chocolat, attention turned to the vegetables hanging around in our kitchen, waiting for their turn to be made into something delicious.
Tarte au Chocolat
Gochugaru Girl had a bit of waiting to do this morning.
People used to wait for amazing things to happen but now we seem to be waiting for Amazon things to happen.
Poisson D’Avril 2015 á Londres
Gochugaru Girl provides a round up of the April Fool jokes that came our way yesterday.
The ‘worst’ one was from Junior 3 who is in France at the moment where traditionally paper fish is stuck to other people’s backs. The victims of this prank are called Poisson d’Avril*.
Jaedong Sundubu English Menu
This is a follow up to the post on Jaedong Sundubu in Seoul.
The menu is translated here, first in Korean, followed by its pronunciation and a short description. The prices are reasonable, reflect the portion size or ingredients, and are correct as of 03 March 2015. The idea is that if you don’t read Korean, you just bring this guide with you. (more…)
Jaedong Sundubu in Seoul
This is sort of a strange post but it emphasises why I dislike visiting a foreign country without being able to read and speak the local language. Anything using the Latin Alphabet (that is, ABC) I can cope with.
I know most countries will now have some signs in English. Internet-based translation tools are very helpful, as is sign language, smiling or sadly, in the case of very rich tourists, waving around lots of cash.
Soul to Seoul
Gochugaru Girl is flying to Seoul this week…
…and I have been banned from watching any Korean movies.
