Good wine, good food, they are not in daily events. In particular, it is a rare moment that the tasting buds and all the senses of the body arise with a sip of wine. It hardly happens, but this was the day. Started with cheap but savoury white wine from the South West region of […]
Possibly the best buckwheat noodles
It was quite a serendipity. On the way to Park Sugeon Museum, I happened to stop at a restaurant for lunch. It was a Makguksu specialised restaurant in Inge, Gangwon-do. When served, I was a bit surprised by its minimalistic look. No spicy paste and no sesame oil flavour. Pressed to try it and had […]
Stir-fried kimchi and rice with wild-pig lard and sesame oil
When taking a photo, people say ‘cheese’, but ‘Kimchi’ instead of cheese for Koreans. I suppose many Koreans are more pleasant with Kimchi than with cheese. Vice versa may be possible. For me, I am always happy with them both. It’s as tricky as questioning to young kids who you love more, mother or father. […]
Dim Sum, eating and learning how-tos
Never imagined that I might be able to have chances to be one of them. One who enjoys the ‘touch the heart – Dim Sum 点心’. Different from my previous thought, dim sum was not just eating a variety of dumplings but also drinking tea. Besides, it was also learning the culture and how-tos. This […]
Ricchissimo! Self-made noodles
Self-made dish, not noodles itself. Tasted marvellous. Almost perfectly cooked, and when mixed the coordination of all ingredients was beautiful. Incredibly delicious! Ricchissimo!
Christmas Eve party with Vin de Paille
Wild pig terrine and ‘Vin de Paille’! The food and the wine became heavenly great. Both were full of flavour and taste. Vin de Paille was good, exceptionally and incredibly good. Sweet but not too sweet. Acidic but slightly. Limpid but not insipid. It was rather everlastingly flavorous. The flavour kept extremely long in the […]
Kimchi, right time and right place
Kimchi is good, yet could hardly have a real good one. At the country home, as is remote and quite isolated, available with decent stuff like water, cabbage, and spices, all made exceptionally delicious kimchi. To make kimchi and to eat it was fast and instant. Once my wife messages cabbage leaves with sauce, Martin […]
Tortilla Espanola
Tortilla Espanola! Simple but Excellent. With pastured eggs and garden onions, it turned heavenly food.
Picnic on a hike
I had a hike on Cheongryangsan mountain to enjoy the autumn. When started we were four, yet were three at the moment of actual beginning. Haydn, my dog, was not able to walk with us. An employee at the park prevented us from entering with Haydn. He warned that the dog was not permitted to […]
