Leave your table manners at the door, and please take a napkin… 2007-11-29 00:05:20 Those of you who know the Chinese black bean noodle dish ‘Zhajiang mian’ ( ) may look at this and think that it looks awfully familiar. And, in fact, you’d be right!
This, dear readers, is the Korean version of that well-known Chinese dish, with the almost exact name of ‘jja-jjang myun’ (). While the [...]

A frozen nose, a burnt tongue and a sweet, sugary memory 2007-11-27 05:03:50 “You know,” my mother mused aloud as she watched me frowning over a big metal bowl of dough, “most ‘ahjumas‘1 don’t even bother making this from scratch because the packet mix is so good…”
I grit my teeth. “Shut up, mom!”
Seemingly oblivious to my pained request that she stop rubbing it in, she continued with “I [...]

Not your average pancake 2007-11-25 05:03:05 Though it’s true that I’ve blogged these Korean savoury seafood pancakes before, it was in the early days of this blog when I didn’t have much of an audience, so I thought I’d write a new entry giving them the glory that they well and truly deserve.
Now this dish is by far one of my [...]

Not quite a chipmunk, but can I still like acorns? 2007-12-05 23:33:50 Any of you who have had direct contact with me may have wondered a bit about the email address. I know that when I have to give out out for various reasons, people seem to be unable to actually wrap their heads around it:
“Chip…monk…what? Huh? Not a monk? OH! Chip-munk - chipmunk, like the animal! [...]

Presenting - Kimchi Restaurant for Facebook! 2007-12-04 22:28:24 A few weeks ago, I got a surprising email from a Flickr user, completely out of the blue. A lovely guy by the name of Dave had spotted my photos and loved them so much that he wanted to build an application with them on Facebook
and was asking for permission to use the photos [...]

Snow-capped breakfast mountains 2007-12-03 00:53:49 Folks, just a quick note to let you know that nominations for the 2007 Food Blog Awards are now open. Having glanced over the categories, I don’t think I actually qualify for any of them, but you should definitely stop by and nominate any blogs that you love that fit the categories! Now, onto the [...]

A summertime seaweed soup 2007-12-02 08:56:13 I spent a bit of time debating the title of this post. You see, to me, the image it evokes is immediately nostalgic and tasty, yet I can see how someone who is unfamiliar with this dish would read it and think “WTF?!” to themselves. I mean, even the more well known warm broth which [...]

Berry berry marvellous 2007-12-13 05:17:24 Those soft, delicate curves, the rich ruby skin paired with the vibrant green corsage, the seductive scent that smells like warmth and sunlight, the very first bite that results in the almost indecent explosion of sweet juice and tender flesh, filling every corner of your mouth with the taste of summer.
Don’t worry, I’m not about [...]

Stick "em up~! 2007-12-09 17:13:59 I think I’ve mentioned before on this blog that my kid sister is absolutely hopeless in the kitchen. In fact, my kid brother (who is younger than both of us) is far better at wielding a kitchen knife than she is - whenever I see her attempting to chop something up, my heart leaps into [...]

I'm totally nuts for nuts! 2007-12-07 04:42:19 Now, I have professed my love of the mightly nut on this blog before, and anyone who is a long-time reader may have picked up on my sheer adoration of the walnut. It is, in my opinion, one of the most marvellous nuts out there - with its soft, meaty flesh, fragrant oil and mild [...]
