EXPERIE(WON)CE

우니를 365일 맛볼 수 있는 청담의 쇼린을 다녀왔습니다.  Shorin is a bar located in Cheongdam-Dong near the Apgujeong Rodeo Station in Seoul. Craving for uni in the winter? No problem. They serve an uni tasting course all year round. Long long list of their menus. Another course they have is called an organ tasting course. It sounds a bit... intimidating, but it contains organs such as fish eggs or crab organs that are fairly popular😋 My friends and I (total of 3) ordered an uni tasting course and a stamina don (rice topped with marinated eel and eggs). 메뉴는 보시다시피 매우매우 길어요. 저희(3인)의 목적은 우니였기 때문에, 우니 테이스팅 코스와 이번에 새로 출시한 스테미나동을 주문했습니다. Michael Mondavi Family, 'Spellbound' Pinot Noir 2016 The lighting is very very dark.. So I had a really hard time taking photos this night. You can barely see the actual color of the red we ordered. This was my second time visiting and I think their whiskey cocktails are much much better than wine. It didn't have much outstanding characteristics. They also don't ...

방문하면 할수록 너무나 매력적인 성수동의 난포를 다녀왔습니다.  Seongsu/Seoul Forest is probably the hottest place in Seoul these days especially with so many cool places to eat and drink. My friends and I decided to visit Nanpo, a new Korean restaurant/bar. Nanpo is the name of a small village near the sea in Changwon, a city in the Southern part of Korea. Its dishes are based on the theme of what a grandma used to make for her loving granddaughter. So they almost never use chemical seasoning/artificial flavors.  난포는 낙원그룹이 운영하고 있는 한식당/주점으로 작은 바닷가 마을의 이름을 따와 할머니가 손녀를 위해 만들던 음식을 주제로 하고 있다고 합니다.  The menus are very simple. Now that I'm writing in English, I wonder if they have an English version of the menus.  Basically, the first photo is a list of dishes and the second is that of beverages. They also have Hwayo 25 and 41! They don't sell regular soju  here.  메뉴판은 매우 간단한 편 입니다. 사실 한식당(?)이라고 하기엔 조금, 아니 많이 한식 주점에 가까운 것 같습니다.  Seasonal Fish & Ripe Kimchi Rolls 제철회묵은지말이 This seem...

롯데월드몰 1층에 위치한 포숑! Fauchon, founded in Paris in 1886, had extended its brand to Seoul and operated as a French dessert cafe until they decided to have Chef Miel Jang join the restaurant as the Executive Chef.  It was actually my fourth time visiting😂 One of the many reasons that motivate me to keep going back is that you can try great food and wines at such reasonable prices. They do have menus, but I suggest you ask for Chef's recommendations on what you should order. Or you can order a course. He also sometimes offers dishes temporarily when he gets a  hold of great ingredients he likes to play with.  기존에는 프렌치 디저트 카페로 운영되었지만, 지난 해 6월 프랑스에서 경력을 쌓고 온 장한이 셰프님이 총괄을 맡게 되면서 요리도 만나볼 수 있게 되었습니다. (인스타 @jang_miel) 벌써 네 번째 방문이었던 이 날의 포숑은 셰프님과도 오래 알고 지낸 지인들과 함께 했습니다.  물론 메뉴판이 있지만, 셰프님께 메뉴 추천 받는 것을 추천 드립니다. 가끔 특별한 재료를 수급하실 때 메뉴에는 없는 요리도 제공해주시기도 하니, 리미티드 에디션 메뉴는 소진되기 전에 서둘러야 합니다.  이 날도 저희는 셰프님께서 '알아서' 주시도록 요청 드리는 사이, 와인 리스트에 집중을 했습니다👾 Opstal Estate, Carl Everson Single Vi...
