Ho Lee Chow: Chinese Restaurant
People who have come to Korea from North America always seem to talk about going to Ho Lee Chow's for their American-style Chinese food fix, so I was happy when the opportunity came for me to see what all the fuss was about. Most Chinese restaurants ...
Ganga Indian Restaurant
For the past couple months, I'd been craving Indian food, so I was all excited when a few of my friends decided to get together for dinner at Ganga restaurant by Sulleung Station. I'm always a bit skeptical of the upscale Indian restaurants in Seoul,...
Sanchon & the Seoul Veggie Club
For those of you who care, I apologize for the pause in blogging. I wish I could say that I've been mad-busy with other priorities and responsibilities, but in all honesty, I don't have any excuse to give you besides good ol' laziness. :POne thing th...
Pier Avenue: American-Japanese Fusion Restaurant
This past week, I was in the Chungdahm area with some coworkers and we ended up at Pier Avenue, an American-Japanese fusion restaurant, for lunch. After looking through their fairly extensive menu of rolls, noodles, and rice dishes, I found only two ...
Sunny Days Homemade Burgers @ Itaewon
I can't believe I had never heard of 'Sunny Days' in Itaewon, until very recently from a fellow veg*an friend. My only other restaurant-veggie burger experience in Korea was at Jacoby's Burgers, so when she told me that 'Sunny Days' had tofu burgers,...
Build Your Own Vegan Burrito at 'On The Border'
'On the Border' is where you go to get huge portions of Mexican food at an American-style restaurant. Their prices aren't exactly cheap, but if you're looking for a dining experience that reminds you of being back in the States, this is where you go....
Countryside Sundubu (Spicy Silken Tofu Soup)
I loooove 'sundubu jjigae,' but when I went veg, it became increasingly difficult for me to find restaurants serving animal-free versions. Infact, I rarely eat it now, which is a real shame. However, there is one place where I can still get delicious...
Greens. Eat. Gom
I tried a new restaurant at Hongdae last week. I'm not exactly sure what the official name of this place is because there seem to be two names... 'Bob Cafe' or '나물 먹는 곰', which roughly translates to 'A Bear that Eats Greens,' or as they hav...
SM Vegetarian Buffet by Yangjae station
Finally went to check out the SM Vegetarian Buffet by Yangjae Station. This is the third veg buffet I've been to in Korea. The taste of most of the food was fine, and a few of their wheat meat dishes were really delicious, but I have to say, this veg...
Rollin, rollin, rollin~
While I was in Cali, I visited one of the NikoNiko Sushi restaurants. My sister and I used to go to NikoNiko Sushi quite a bit back in the day, so I wanted to revisit as a vegan. They didn't have too many options, but I made out okay. I got their Swe...
A Vegan Food Adventure in West LA (Westwood)
My sister is currently doing the UCLA extension program, so on Wednesday, I tagged along with her to Westwood to look around the area. For lunch we went to 'Native Foods' which is an all-vegan restaurant with several locations around California. When...
Veggie Grill Burgers
My sister, Julie, and I went to the Veggie Grill at Irvine Spectrum, which is another 100% vegan restaurant. Even though they're totally vegan, they don't make that the focus, probably because that might alienate customers who aren't veg. So I guess ...
Huntington Beach
Ahhh, vacation. Life is so beautiful right now. My sister and grandma live a short 10 minute drive from Huntington Beach, so that's where I spent most of Monday, basking in the sun, reading my new book and watching little junior lifeguards paddling ...
Satisfying my cravings so that my future children won't drool
I have a list of foods that I have to eat while I'm here, and one of them is a big fat Chipotle burrito. Chipotle is possibly the only fast food joint that I'll walk into because I know I can get a vegan burrito there no problem, and what makes it ev...
Loving Hut, Part 2
I made another visit to the love shack... er... Loving Hut. Twice in one week! This time I ordered their jjajang myun. This is the Korean version of a Chinese dish that is noodles with black soybean paste-sauce. Most restaurants here have bits of gr...
The Loving Hut @ Sinchon
So I finally got to check out the Loving Hut at Sinchon. This place is awesome! Everything is completely vegan and the prices are super cheap. It's the cheapest restaurant I've found in Korea! I don't think anything on the menu is more than 4500won, ...
City Escape or Countryside Escapades
Spent another wonderful Saturday in Cheonan this weekend. Warning: it's gonna be a long photo blog!First things first, my Breakfast of Champions: fresh fruit!In the morning, my mum and I went hiking in one of the mountains by our area. We were hoping...
All Hail Red Red
I was just going to talk about this in my previous 'Itaewon' blog entry, but then decided that this topic most definitely needs to be the star of it's very own post. For those of you who don't know me, I grew up in Ghana (and also Ivory Coast). Ghan...
A Very Good Day Indeed
I met up with dear friends Grace, Alex, and Esther today at Hakdong station and had lunch at one of Grace's fave restaurants, which is in a building called 'Gallery Royal'. It's apparently owned by the company Toto, which manufactures toilets. teehee...
Dos Tacos @ Apgu
Yesterday, a bunch of us went to Dos Tacos in Apgujung for Andrew's birthday. The first time I went to Dos Tacos, I wasn't too impressed. I thought the burritos were nothing like those I was used to in the US (I miss Neato Burrito!!). The burritos he...
Beach Volleyball Tourament
This past Saturday, me, Chris, and a new friend went to see the Pro Women’s Beach Volleyball Tournament at Jamsil Han River Park. Yea, I know, the Han river is not a beach, but Koreans generally don't seem to be too concerned when it comes to authe...
