- Food Travel Log
- Seoul's Chinatown at 9 PM was a sleeping city—a disappointment, yet the tranquility was fascinating. After embracing the solitude, I found an izakaya whose warmth and brightness soothed my heart. Maybe loneliness is necessary in life. I'll google it: "Is loneliness necessary in life?"... Did you mean "lonely Christmas"?

- Kimchi Jeon is a classic Korean dish, particularly warming on cold winter days when served hot and crispy. Traditionally, Jeon is often made on rainy days in rural areas, and the sound of "bi-reuldal" (rain falling) resembles the sound when pouring the batter onto a hot griddle, which is why it's also called "Bindaetteok." When made with plenty of fresh kimchi, the spicy and tangy flavor complements the crispiness perfectly, making it an ideal pairing with beer. By the way, since the ingredients in kimchi jeon tend to spill out, flipping it over is where you can show your skill! Don't be afraid of failure and try flipping it boldly. Now, the author of this blog seems to have a poetic sensibility, enjoying the quiet of the night like music. However, following their search for "loneliness life necessary," it seems they might have gotten a bit lost in thought during their solitary night. Until Google kindly suggests to the author, "Are you perhaps spending Christmas alone?" it's all part of the package!
