Where Is Pyeongtaek?

Feel free to skip this section if you live in Pyeongtaek or know about the area. We try to make sure that everyone knows what area our blog post recommendations cover since we don’t know what part of you Korea you may currently exist in when viewing our information.

Pyeongtaek-si is located in the southern portion of the Gyeonggi-do province. This large city includes both US military installations, Camp Humphreys, and Osan Air Base.

The meat pie recommendations provided exist within different areas of Pyeongtaek-si. Therefore, in this blog post, South of Seoul provides addresses and phone numbers. However, we recommend using this information in either Naver Maps or Kakao Maps for the best results. As a result, such apps help you figure out how far each restaurant might be from you.

What Is The Difference Between Korean and American Brunch?

We often tend to think of meals in the way that the culture we were raised in considered them. When you move to a new country, you may be confused to learn that what you consider for meals may look different. Our volunteers demystified Korean breakfast for you in a past blog. Therefore, we felt it was time to dig into the differences between Korean and American brunch.

When Americans think of brunch, it often involves sweet and savory foods and alcohol, usually mimosas or bloody marys. You might find dishes like pancakes, French toast, eggs benedict, or options typical to Western breakfasts. Korean brunches tend to be more focused on sandwiches, plates of pasta, and salads, but they may also include traditional Korean dishes. Since this brunch is less focused on alcohol, they often include beverage choices like sikhye (sweet rice punch), a variety of teas, coffees, juices, or fruit ades.

In this blog, we will provide you with locations to enjoy both Korean and American-style brunch options.
