Seoul

Korea’s favorite snack

Thu, 01/24/2013 - 20:45 — TeyMarieAstudillo

Street foods are a favorite among locals, expats and tourists in South Korea.  The most popular and often beloved of these foods is Ddeokbokki.

Ddeokbokki (do-bo-ki) is everything one looks for in the perfect street food, or any food for that matter: It’s commonly found, inexpensive, fulfilling and most importantly – delicious!

Preparing for a Korean Goodbye: Don’t leave my friends out of this.

Thu, 01/24/2013 - 01:46 — devanrosey

timeisrunningout

Time is running out, so please stop saying, “Yeah, we will have to do that some weekend.” I have exactly 6 weekends left in Korea and each is pretty much full from 8pm on Friday until late Sunday afternoon. I am lucky in that many of my friends in Korea are also leaving close to my departure date. Most of us are in a rush to eat lots of kimchi, find Psy socks to bring home and most importantly soak up each others awesomeness before some depart for homes scattered all over the globe and others remain in Korea. And oh yeah, I still have to find the confidence to make a jjimjilbang date. Umm, a little help please?

Simple acts of Korean Kindness

Fri, 01/11/2013 - 10:00 — meoww


Coming back from India, missing friends and family, the food and noise and the lovely, warm sun, it isn't easy to get back to the normal routine in Korea. Just can't get rid of this homesickness :( Not that i was trying. Fighting the cold, remembering to wear heavy layers before i step out of the door, I decided to venture into the city which would be my home for sometime now, after too many days of self-imposed solitary confinement.

Meeting 5 – Moon Jar (달빛 술담) Photo Gallery

Mon, 01/07/2013 - 22:17 — mmpkorea

Our Mamas & Papas headed to Moon Jar with a purpose…to try out their cocktails! It’s one of the most famous and popular places for upscale makgeolli in Seoul, so it’s safe to say we were expectant. The cocktails we tried were a little on the sweet side for most, but the quality was unmistakable.

January 12th Meeting Registration Open!

Wed, 01/02/2013 - 19:20 — mmpkorea

It’s the New Year Mamas & Papas!! It’s sub-zero cold outside and we need ourselves some warm toasty pajeon and fresh makgeolli to chase away the winter blues. Our next meeting will be to try out one of Korea’s largest makgeolli franchises ‘Jeon Seonsaeng (교동전선생)’. It’s famous for having a large selection of different kinds of Jeon, and there are locations all over Seoul. We are headed to the City Hall location on January 12th, so if you want in send us an email at mmpkorea@gmail.com! It’s our first meeting of the year so we are dying to catch up and start 2013 right with makgeolli :)

For some further reading on the location, you can see a review by Seoul Taste here, and their website here.

Seoul Santacon: So be good for goodness sake!

Thu, 12/20/2012 - 00:56 — devanrosey

christmas

There are few times in life when I believe it is appropriate for a group of friends to wear bright and matching outfits, disregard the personal space and solitude of others in public and obnoxiously sing childish songs while moving from one drinking establishment to another. One of these times would have to be Seoul Santacon.
