Mandu Restaurant: 엄정 자신있는 만두
If you are in downtown Pyeongtaek near the KB Bank intersection and need something fast, I heartily recommend this little “fast food” joint. It’s one of my favorite spots to grab something cheap and fast, usually the galbi mandu or the fried mandu – or both. The food tastes fresh, and if you are really busy to can just grab it to go and eat it on the road. A wonderful thing when you are feeling hangry. Sorry that I don’t have a photo of my actual meal as I…

숯고개부대찌개: Budae Jjigae
In our lives, when it’s rainy or cold, there are two things we eat: Budae Jjigae and Kimchi jjigae. Thankfully, Songtan is one of the best places ever for Budae Jjigae / 부대찌개 (also known as soldier stew) since it’s where it all started. We have eaten this dish everywhere we go, but one of our all-time favorite places (maybe our favorite ever) is at the end of the shopping street in front of Osan Air Force Base. It’s on the left and you will miss it if you blink.…

Traditional Food
For over three years I have been hoping to find this place again, but never had the time to go drive through the varies hills and valleys looking for it. However, with more rest and time on my hands, this weekend I was able to quickly find it based on what I remembered from my first visit: on a dead end road, in a small valley, next to a Shell station, 10 minutes from my old job, relatively no signage. How do I describe this place? Movies aren’t even this dreamy.…
