This past weekend, Jo and I ventured out of Dongtan with a few Korean friends. We drove about an hour away to the seaside island of Jebu. It's right on the water and known for its fishing industry. After lunch (and coffee), we drove to Yong-in and experienced the local folk village.
Can there really be a worldwide shortage of kimchi?! The food staple that defines Korean food may not be on your table with the rest of the banchan. Ok that’s being a bit dramatic, but it’s quite possible because the price of kimchi has skyrocketed because of a shortage in cabbage.
Found one in Nampodong! It's right off of Art Street near the end of the road.
