Jeonju Hanok Village Postcard made with recycled paper

That is probably the most famous dish that comes from Jeonju. But recently Jeonju boasts a lot more good eats than just ...

Korean Jeju pork belly and shoulder bbq

  Jeju Island is probably my favorite place in all of Korea. It has everything - ocean, tropical weather, volcanic mountains, amazing food, pretty flowers and even horses that are native to the island (brought in hundreds of years ago). Flavors of Jeju Island include many things but I would have to say their ultra fresh seafood, amazing black pork and sweet mandarin oranges are some that ...

Last updated on August 28, 2019. Originally published on October 6, 2014 By JinJoo 2 Comments

Gurume Korean Historic Home, andong, Korea

Nothing fancy or multi-colored, nothing grilled or fried but there is something so comforting and deliciously pleasing about a properly prepared authentic Korean breakfast.  In my opinion, this is what traditional Korean food tastes are all about. Every now and then I have complained about how Korean food has changed over the years and have lost a lot of the authentic traditional flavors in ...
