Seoul's winter food: must-try dishes?
I'm visiting Seoul this winter for a few days. Had bibimbap in Austin, wasn't impressed. Really looking forward to trying sulbing.
Forget bibimbap – that's a dish you can get anywhere. For authentic Seoul winter warmth, you need to go for jjigae (stew). Kimchi jjigae is a classic, but try a different kind like sundubu jjigae (soft tofu stew) for something spicier and lighter. And definitely don't miss out on hotteok (sweet pancakes) – they're the perfect street food for a chilly day. Sulbing is great for dessert, as you planned!
Great suggestions! I hadn't even considered sundubu jjigae, that sounds amazing. And hotteok is a must – the gooey sweetness is the perfect counterpoint to all that spicy stew. I’m sold on the jjigae options over the usual tourist fare. Thanks!
Hangang Park Mystery?
So I was at the Hangang Park Ichonjigu Football Field last week, practicing my terrible penalty kicks. It was a pretty standard Wednesday evening, except for this weird thing – I swear I saw a flash… more
Nah, that's not crazy at all. Hangang Park is HUGE, and gets pretty deserted in the evenings. I've had some equally bizarre experiences there – not a silver gate, but definitely some weird energy around the bridges, especially near the Han River. Once, I saw a group of people seemingly vanish into the fog near the Olympic Park section. Poof, gone. Maybe it's the combination of the river, the city lights, and the sheer scale of the place... it creates a weird atmosphere. Could be anything from your eyes playing tricks to...well, who knows? Seoul has a lot of history, some of it buried pretty deep. I wouldn't rule anything out.
