After stopping the carbohydrate-free diet, breakfast got more colour with rye bread.
Horse Mackerel Soup
I had breakfast in Jeju city with friends before taking a flight to Seoul. We visited a fish-soup restaurant. We four ordered the same menu, fish soup. The soup looked simple—horse mackerel and cabbage, but perfect for stomach-soothing for hangovers. I enjoyed the soup and side dishes as well. Side dish included yellow crocker jjorim(stew-like), […]
A Pork Soup Restaurant in Seogwipo, Jeju island
Although dwaeji gukbap(pork soup with rice) is prevalent in Korea, it’s challenging to meet a decent-quality one. Guided by a local in Seoguipo, Jeju island, I happened to have an excellent soup.

Brown-sugar-filled Pancake in Mukho
I visited the town’s old market in Mukho and tried brown-sugar-filled pancake(호떡; hotteok). It tasted delightful to recall my young days, which is extremely rare nowadays. The grandma cook told us that she did the same job for more than thirty years. I liked more her look than her long career.
