Recipe: Pork Kimchi Jjim (김치찜)
While I was waiting for my name stamps to be made in Insadong, I went into this cute side alleyway to find a place to eat. I got their Ripe Kimchi Jjim (묵은지 김치찜) and it was SO good but unfortunately TOO spicy for me… That’s why when my mom said we had to make…
Food: Baskin-Robbins
Baskin-Robbins is an American chain of ice cream and cake specialty shops founded in 1945. It is American BUT Baskin-Robbins in Korea are completely different from the ones in America, and frankly in my opinion, way better! Korean Baskin-Robbins have unique flavors with equally unique names. Their most iconic flavors are “Mom is an Alien…

This sweet corn ice cream (명가 찰옥수수) is my new favorite ice cream! I’ve always loved corn but whoever thought of making a sweet corn ice cream was a genius! The sweet corn ice cream includes pieces of real corn kernels inside and in newer ones, little pieces of rice cake. There’s a thin layer…

Food: Tanghulu (탕후루)
Tanghulu (탕후루) is actually not Korean but rather a traditional Northern Chinese snack (tánghúlu/糖葫芦) since ancient times. Traditionally, it is made of skewered shanzha (山楂), or Chinese Hawthorn, covered in hard sugar syrup. However, recently street vendors have been using a variety of fruits such as cherries, tomatoes, grapes, and strawberries. Though it is a…
