Line @ 을밀대 (Eulmildae)
Sussing out new adventures. This sums up my summer of 2011. More calories consumed than any other summer (uh, not just food that is:) haha. Aside from the crazy, massive rain that lasted pretty much the uh, whole summer...good food is what kept me in one piece. Why do I feel like the more restaurants I hit, there are more adding onto the list daily? It's absolutely endless. Just when I find my favorite nangmyun (Korean cold buckwheat noodles) spot, a few weeks later another place tops it. This just comes to show that good finds are plenty here in Seoul...the summer is not quite over yet, but so far it's been a sweaty, sweet, and solid. The savoire-faire has been pretty spot on...it's the everyday moments...

Ok seriously...the best nangmyun...ever @ 낙천희관(Nakchun Haegwon) in Sokcho (3 hours east of Seoul). This North Korean style nangmyun served with myungtae fish, asian pear, beef, eggs, and all the other fixings. You have a choice to add the broth, which is awesome! This spot opened since 1986, a favorite amongst the locals...was the perfect way to end my weekend getaway in Sokcho!
These vintage buses were pretty cool in the heart of Sokcho!
Local cafe in Sokcho serving single origin hand drip. I didn't see any coffee chains anywhere, which was a delightful surprise...
Here's to summer of 2011!
