BHC Chicken N’ Beer

25 Jan

Checing out #BHC for their chicken ‘n beer menu! It’s quite tasty! The owner recommended this chicken – spicy sweet n’ sour. Delicious with a good fry! It was a really fun restaurant, kind of like a local pub. ❤ If you’re in #Seoul, give it a try!

I tried the one in Chungmuro — Take Exit 2, turn right and walk a while. It’s on the corner with a few steps leading up and the a door with stairs going down to the lower floors. You can check out their other locations too!

Grape Cheesecake

New Taste Testing!

My student brought me some grape cheesecakes 😃🍰🍇🤔

Tried them today and its. . . very grapey? If that makes sense? Tastes like a combination of cheesecake with dimeatapp / grape soda if that makes sense? Not bad really! Very sweet though 😃😃.

Walnuts For Sale!

13 Dec

Did you know when you buy walnuts, you should shake each one first? If it rattles, it’s dried and you should put it back! Find the ones that don’t shake 😃

*I know this because I was,shopping like an uncouth wild thing just picking up a handful and a Chinese nai nai shook her head in a tsk-tsk manner and started teaching me the proper way 😊

Porcupine Fruit

Durian fruit! Smells and tastes disgusting, but I like the poky things. It’s like the porcupine of fruit 😂😂

New Treats!

24 Nov

My student brought these today! They are a weird taste combination between sweet (sugary) and fritos? If that makes sense? 🤔
It’s like a healthy cookie texture + fritos flavoring? I dunno 😂😂 But yummy!!!

Taste Buds Beware!

#Confession – Most of my phone gallery are pictures of random Chinese things I need to translate to save myself. E.g. to know the difference between microspicy and ‘it’s too spicy’ 😂😂😂

What’s your go to snack?

#Chinese c-store treats include corn on the cob and tea soaked duck eggs. 😃 It’s funny to me how concepts of what constitutes a ‘treat’ changes culture to culture.
