Last weekend I went to brunch at one of my favourite restaurants in Seoul. It had been months since my last visit so I took a motley assortment of my most fabulous chingus to go check out the new brunch menu. (more…)
It’s Throwback Thursday! Loving this weekly segment so much right now, as I’m rediscovering so many awesome recipes I had forgotten about. This week I was making Buffalo Chicken Dip, and eating brunch at Guilty pleasure. But what was I doing this week 2 years ago…… (more…)
I am currently completely obsessed with buffalo sauce and can’t seem to stop making it for love nor money. Not that anyone has actually tried to stop me making it you understand, just that I’m churning it out like there’s no tomorrow. I’m eating at least two batches a week, smothered on top of pretty much everything I eat. It’s actually pretty simple to make and you probably have all the ingredients at home, especially if you collect all those pizza hot sauces like I do and never know what to do with them. My favourite way to use this sauce is in this cramazing dip, which is actually very fortunate since it’s Super bowl time and it’s the perfect thing to bring to a pot luck. I have made this dip for a pot luck event twice now, and it’s always been the first thing to be eaten, everyone seems to go crazy for it, though it’s not surprising as who could could resist copious amounts of melted cheese and buffalo sauce!

Doughnuts are glorious deep fried pieces of soft pillowy heaven. Light and fluffy in the middle, and golden and crisp on the outside. They can be filled with all manner of sweet and sticky fillings, that ooze out of a deep delicious hole. They are the perfect thing to make on a lazy Sunday afternoon, as they don’t really require much hard work at all, just a bit of time to do their magic. For the doughnuts I used a recipe that I found on The Sugar Hit, they came out perfectly and I will certainly use this recipe again. I filled these beauties with a rich and thick crème pat custard, but really the world is your oyster, anything goes, and I’ve already dreamed up half a dozen glorious fillings I plan to be making very soon like Nutella, lemon curd, and peanut butter and jam.
Last weekend I finally got around to trying the Brunch at Guilty Pleasure. God knows what took me so long as this place has been open for months and I eat more than my fair share of brunches, in fact I probably eat my fair share of other people’s brunches too! (more…)
Whoop whoop, it’s Throwback Thursday. A time to go back and re-examine what went wrong in our lives and find out if we have learned anything from our mistakes, in my case probably not but I can always live in hope. This week I was eating Cuban sandwiches at Revolucion, drinking Girl on Fire cocktails and cooking up a whole host of treats you’ve yet to see, like custard doughnuts and popcorn fudge. But what was I doing this time last year………. (more…)
Last week I put on my walking boots and ventured up the hill in Gyeongridan to check out the Cuban sandwiches at Revolución with my paparazzi professor neighbour, Mike from Metropolitician. (more…)
In my circle of friends, I’m known as somewhat of a lush. I’m not really quite sure what led to this assertion of my character, but once you catch a label like this it really is hard to shake. But rather than fight my good time Charlie status, I’ve decided to go with the flow and live up to all expectations. To further my drunken career I always keep a well stocked liquor cabinet, ready to pounce whenever cocktail hour rears it’s head. Last week one of my favourite girls about town popped in for for a quick tipple before our dinner plans and I whipped up this little beauty. (more…)
For the past month or two my favourite neighbourhood bar has been serving up brunch. They are already wildly sought after for their cheap drinks, awesome burgers, and incredibly handsome bar tenders but now there’s an even greater reason to go and pay them a visit, and that’s their incredibly tasty and well priced brunch. For the first few weeks it was being kept a secret, but now the word is out I thought it was about time I shared it with my loyal and faithful readers. (more…)
Never one to miss out on a trend I’ve decided to enter the social media led world of Throwback Thursday. My readership has blossomed like a flower over the years, and some of my newer readers have missed out on so much great stuff, so I’ve decided to give you a throw back to the ho back, and roll back out some of the classics.
This week in 2014
I was eating Curried Squash Soup with Cheese & Onion Soda Bread
I was drinking a Green Smoothie, and still do every morning.
I was dining at Everest in Dongdaemun.
And I was shopping at WWOOF CSA organic farm boxes.
This week in 2013
I was eating Wasabi Pea Dip
I was dining at Reilly’s Taphouse
And I was shopping at The Pinoy Mart, which has now sadly closed and forces me to trek to Itaewon when I’m in need of weird and wacky ingredients.
Now back to the future and I’ll see you all next Thursday!
