Seoul Day Eight: Eating Out in Seoul – Part 2
Diary: Monday 03 August
One thing we miss in London are the 반찬 (banchan – side dishes) which appear instantly to accompany the main dish in any restaurant in Korea.
It is daylight robbery to charge £2 – £3 per side dish here, when these should be offered on the house.
Seoul Day Eight: Eating Out in Seoul – Part 1
Diary: Monday 03 August
There are endless restaurants in Seoul to suit all budgets, and everything we have eaten so far has been fresh, seasonal and delicious.
It won’t be long before the Michelin restaurant inspectors start sticking their noses into kimchee pots.
Seoul Day Three: Gangnam – Part 2
Diary: Wednesday 29 July
From farmland in Gangnam 1970, fast forward to Gangnam 2015.

Samgyetang (삼계탕)
Gochugaru Girl has been waiting for this day since she visited Tosokchon Restaurant* in Seoul this April. This is because she has really wanted to make samgyetang (Ginseng Chicken Soup) at home.
Traditionally in Korea, samgyetang is eaten on the three hottest days of the year according to the lunar calendar. I am hoping that today’s predicted ‘hottest day of the year’ will be repeated at least twice before the summer ends.
