Travel: Between Anguk and Samcheongdong, Seoul - South Korea


It was my third visit, Seoul is always interesting to me. The subway, K-Pop Music in stores and cafes, tteokbokki, well pretty much because of Korean food. To describe Korean food through kimchi is definitely not enough, they have a lot which you can get if only you come and experience your own. Moreover, Seoul have many places to visit, from shopping street such as Garosugil and Myeongdong to historical sites such as Gyeongbok Palace and Hanok Village. I've been there few times, but one special spot that I want to share with you is Samcheongdong. 


Like no where else in Seoul, Samcheongdong is appealing yet very pretty. Definitely a good one for taking pictures, or walk around enjoying the other side of Seoul. Actually there's nothing much to do here but cafe hopping. The small alley is filled with small beautifully decorated cafe and souvenir shops. Yes it is touristy as it's not far from Gyeongbok and Hanok Village, but less popular to be compared to Myeongdong. 






There are many places to eat, mostly cafes but if you walk from Anguk you'll find some humble eatery selling tteokbokki, fried snacks, and kimbap. Bingsoo (korean shaved ice dessert) is a must during summer, portion is generally for sharing (2-3 persons). To be compared with the touristy Myeongdong, pricing policy here is relatively lower for street food snacks while it can be more expensive at cafes. There's a place worth to visit named Jaedong Sundubu (read, here), not too far from Anguk station. They serve basic korean food such as bibimbap and sundubu (soft tofu stew), quiet affordable, best thing is because they make their own tofu. 

Lovely neighborhood, a place that I always want to come back whenever in Seoul.

Resep: Salmon Mentai Rice | Beef Shirataki Mentai

Image
It's delicious but really I could not finish one portion, yes thank's to the amount of mayo. So, let's just share.  Mentai Rice , it's actually very easy to make as long as you have kitchen blow torch or use the oven to broil the mentaiko sauce. The sauce itself is made from mayonaise, preferably Japanese mayo like Kewpie and mentaiko (pollock roe / cod roe). If it's hard to find then simply replace it with tobiko (flying fish roe). Please do not skip the fish roe. Anyway, I bought the mentaiko from Tokopedia around IDR 270k for 500 grams, that's a lot, I know. Alternatively, take a look at Papaya Supermarket or other big supermarket as mentaiko is kinda hard to find here. I made 3 dishes with this Mentai sauce, the first one is the one with crabstick served with rice that mixed with nori powder, you can also use furikake. The second is nori rice with salmon aburi. Lastly, sweet and savory beef with garlic butter shirataki noodles. Well, the last one is definite

Resep: Savory Waffle (Pepperoni + Cheddar Cheese) Resep

Image
I've made waffle many times, and I prefer of light and crispy waffle to bread-like waffle. Adding some tapioca flour gives a quite significant result, also separating the egg though mostly I skipped that phase. Anyway, waffles are great with syrup, chocolate, fruits, and ice cream but have you ever tried savory waffle? With bacon, smoked chicken, sausage, cheese, or pepperoni. Freshly made waffles are best, when making waffles make sure that you have all the toppings ready on the table.  Ingredients : 1.5 cup all purpose flour 1 cup tapioca flour 2 eggs 1/2 cup plain yogurt 2 tsp baking powder 2 tsp baking soda 1 cup milk 1/4 cup melted butter 1/4 cup vegetable oil 1/4 cup pepperoni, sliced 1/4 cup green onion, thinly sliced 1/4 cup red cheddar cheese, grated salt to taste few tbsp of water, if needed Directions : For the dry mixture, add flour, tapioca, salt, baking soda, and baking powder into a bowl, mix well. In another bowl combine egg, yogurt, melted butter, oil, and milk. Co

Nomz Kitchen & Pastry Grand Indonesia: New Menu

Image
Ones behind Nomz, Arnold Poernomo and Pastry Chef Kim Pangestu. Famous for their sweet treats, but how's the food? At this time, I'd like to introduce some of their new menu. First let's start with something fresh, salad. I've been a fan of Nomz's Tomato Salad for quite a while, now they have two more, Middle Eastern Salad (IDR 80.000) and Fried Calamari Salad (IDR 60.000). Not for everyone, but me as one who really into greens. Calamari salad might suit to people in common, dressed with balsamic lemon, topped with fresh arugula, coriander, and shaved parmesan. My guessing it's balsamic reduction as it's sweeter than balsamic vinegar. Meanwhile, Middle Eastern Salad is actually tabbouleh, usually made using bulgur but they replaced it with quinoa , yes for superfood! Pretty healthy yet fulfill the hunger longer. Have no idea what's quinoa ? Google it, it's 2015, eat your superfood!  Move on to  Nomz Prawn Roll (IDR 105.000) garlic chili prawn, gr
