This is from the last time we ate at @linusbbq before today. I just wanted to also share how great their mac n cheese looks! It had a nice crisp on top, and tasted like it had oven baked cheese. It was so good 😋

This is from the last time we ate at @linusbbq before today. I just wanted to also share how great their mac n cheese looks! It had a nice crisp on top, and tasted like it had oven baked cheese. It was so good 😋

TLDR; @linusbbq never disappoints! Their food really tastes like you’re eating in the South in the States. If you’re ever in Seoul and craving American BBQ, check them out!

My husband and I moved to Korea from the South, and the food at this place reminds us of home! It serves Alabama style BBQ and it is GOOD! The smoked brisket and pulled pork are soft and tender, and they really do pull apart. The smoky baked beans with pulled pork is just perfect. The fried okra is good with the spicy BBQ sauce or dipped in the baked beans. The fried dill pickles taste great with the house dipping sauce. The pickled cabbage is good on top of a slider, but it is on the sweeter side. The creamy coleslaw reminds me of American KFC slaw. Both cabbage sides gave a nice crunch in the sliders. The buns for the sliders were buttery, soft, and crispy. The fries were well seasoned and reminded me of fries you would get at a steakhouse. The mashed potatoes and gravy tasted like they were homemade and ready to be served for Thanksgiving. We didn’t eat the mac n’ cheese this time, but every time we ordered them here they’ve been amazing!

My favorite dishes here are the pulled pork, mashed potatoes, and fried pickles. *chefs kiss* 🧑‍🍳😋🤤

I’ve been on a salad kick lately 😋

Back in December, I made vegan peanut butter bonbons. I missed the bonbons my dad made for Christmas a couple of times, and I decided to make them vegan. I used a popular recipe online and modified it as needed.

Knife cut noodles and hand pulled dumplings from Mangwon Market 🤤 I’ve eaten at Hongdukkae (홍두깨손칼국수) over a dozen times now (maybe even over two dozen times). I’ve eaten there by myself, with my husband, with family, and with friends. It never disappoints. I’ve tried everything on the main menu, and I have yet to try their summer menu. I absolutely recommend trying their noodles or sujebi if you’re in Mangwondong in Seoul.

My lunch for the day! This is a salmon salad from Greenius in Gangnam in Seoul. I’ve had many orders to-go from this place, but I decided to eat here in person. It’s quite the walk from work, but I like the exercise & fresh air :) The salad has smoked salmon, sliced egg, sweet potato, squash, chick peas, corn, tomatoes, orange, lettuce, almonds, black olives, avocado, & balsamic dressing. I also drank a green grape ade 😋 It was so tasty, packed full of protein, and filling!

Potluck on a rainy day as the cherry blossoms wash away! We ate Thai curry, brown rice gimbap, tomato eggs, beef stew, and charcuterie 😋 We also had a homemade chocolate cake and played a couple rounds of chess afterwards. What a lovely rainy day ❤️

NGL, I ate kbbq 3 times this past week! It was delicious! Best from left to right 😋

1. 목로관 in Hongdae
They have well prepared pre-seasoned/smoked meat. We ordered the mixed pork plate and beef rib plate. It’s wonderful every time I go.

2. 강화통통생고기 in Seongsan-dong
They have thick fresh cuts of meat with great sauces and soups. This is the first time I’ve eaten here, but I really want to go back! They have flavors more familiar to Jeollanamdo.

3. 엉터리무한대패 in Mangwon-dong
They have unlimited frozen meats. Honestly, you get what you pay for here, but I still really enjoyed myself here! I loved the 고소한 삼겹살 대패 😋

One of the members at my church owns a restaurant called Pineapple Express, and another friend from church works there! My husband and I often order takeout from this place, and this is what we got this week! The first pic is a shrimp bowl and the second is a Peruvian chicken plate. We usually order a combo bowl that comes with grilled shrimp and chicken. The food is definitely giving Hawaiian vibes and Southern US vibes. It reminds me of home. 😊 These photos aren’t the best, but the food is really tasty!

The bread from @baguette_k is so #delicious! The croissant is perfectly #flaky, the demi baguettes are perfectly #crisp on the outside and soft on the inside, and the sourdough bread has a light #bouncy texture. This bakery is only a couple blocks away from my workplace, and oh my… it is #dangerous. 🤤🤤🤤

Started a diet on Saturday with @isaacchoi.kr - This was my heavy carb meal before starting this diet! We’re in a transformation challenge at our gym so we’ll see if this diet will do me any good. I’m eating over 100 grams of protein everyday. Pray for our noses #iykyk #diet #pasta #cheese #pizza #italianfood

I’ve had a lot of butter bars in Korea. They usually fit my taste: sweet, salty, buttery, and chewy. I think my palette is very western. This butter bars tastes more like the typical Korean sweet. It is not too sweet, doesn’t taste like butter, and has little flavor. It tastes like a slightly sweetened pound cake and has the texture of a scone or a hard biscuit. The chocolate cookie crumbs do not taste like chocolate. If you have more of a taste for Korean style sweets, this is for you! This is not for me 😉

Taking a moment to appreciate the new fried chicken flavor at Kyochon. Corn is the newest batter flavor, providing a sweet and savory taste with crispy corn flakes, honey, and butter. It reminds me of my favorite HBAF corn flavored almonds with the crispy corn kernels! So yummy!

Had a little taste of home tonight! I ordered a combo with a hot chicken sandwich, tenders, and fries. My husband and I shared a few of the sides: mac n cheese, slaw, corn salad, mashed potatoes and gravy, and a cheddar biscuit. It all tasted homemade, and reminded me of food in the South, especially the mashed potatoes 🤤 If you’re ever in the Itaewon area in Seoul, stop by @jackjack_kr and you won’t be disappointed!

This photo really doesn’t do this food justice. This has become my staple favorite local restaurant in Mapo. Living a short walk from Mangwon market has been great. 홍두깨 has fresh al dente knife cut noodles/pulled dough in their sujebi (수제비) and kalguksu (칼국수) in a beef broth and adding perilla seed powder (들깨) just hits the spot. It’s a perfect warm soup for a cold day!

What a treat to have East Cali style Mexican food in Seoul 😋 @elpino323 brings authentic flavor without being too heavy or greasy.

Dishes from L to R:
Whole meal, shrimp tacos, carne asada tacos (2 slides bc they looked & tasted so good), al pastor tacos, chicken enchiladas, chips & guac, and the sauces 😍 This was perfect for 2 people (who love to eat).

I’ve been looking for Mexican restaurants that have salsa verde and this is the first place since moving back to Korea that had it! We need more places like this. I definitely want to come back for a Monday Marg or Taco Tuesday with the friends.

@craichousekorea has the best bangers and mash in Seoul (imo)!! This was my second time having it, and it was just as wonderful as the first. If you’re in Itaewon, they’re definitely a place to try!

TLDR; I’m going to sell cookies!

——
I love baking. I love baking so much that I want to start selling cookies, and eventually maybe other baked goods. Baking is definitely not what I went to school for, but I’ve found a passion and want to pursue this as a career option!
——
This past March, my husband was deported to South Korea and I moved with him. My career in the US doesn’t transition well in SK and the pay is too subpar. I looked into many options to continue that career here, but I’m unable to at this moment of my life. So, I started to look into opening my own business. My husband and I brainstormed ideas, and we decided to open a cookie business.

We have everything that we need to start selling cookies except a place to bake. We went to our city hall and asked what we needed to do to start selling. They told us we either need to have our own storefront or to use their approved shared kitchens to sell online. We can’t bake cookies at home. One shared kitchen is available starting this fall and is free to use. It’s not guaranteed that we will be able to use it, and we need to apply to use it.

In the meantime, we are looking for more available shared kitchens to rent or a storefront to rent. We are also building a website, and hopefully we can start selling cookies soon! It’s just a slow process right now.

I’m looking forward to start selling cookies!

This photo is one of the test cookies I made this week! It’s our base recipe with Hershey’s milk chocolate! It’s soft, chewy, and has a nice buttery flavor. I’ve tasted so many cookies here in Seoul, even popular American style or European style cookies. None of them taste the same or have the same consistency as my cookies. This recipe has changed every year only to make it taste better. Korean ingredients are also different but we’ve found ones that work to make a great cookie!
——
I’m hoping we can start selling cookies online by this fall!

After my husband tried my family’s fried noodles and beans pre-covid, I finally made them for him! I made the noodles a little longer than how we make them back home and I used cannellini beans instead of great northern beans, but they were still delicious! I love making noodles from scratch!

I've been busy eating and not posting! My hubs wanted pizza so we found an American style pizza place here in Seoul! We got the pepperoni pizza, Buffalo wings, and Cajun fries. We also ordered some garlic butter sauce and ranch! The last time I lived in Korea, it was difficult to find ranch. This was a very nice delivery experience! 😋🤤😀

A combo platter for 2 of pulled pork and beef brisket; both smoked. We got sides of smoked mac n cheese, baked beans, mashed potatoes, and creamy coleslaw. I know I've only been away from home for a little over a week, but it was so nice to eat bbq. 😋 I recommend the pulled pork and baked beans from this place if you're craving bbq in Seoul. Also, the bread for sammies were soft, buttered, and crispy on the outside. It might have been the best part of this meal for me 🤤

Tofu and seafood stew, fried fish, beef brisket, fresh tofu, fried tofu, mushrooms, and many sides to make bibimbap after eating the main meal! This definitely made me happy and full :) My body needed all of these veggies.
