Western China, dim sum Hannam-dong

We have a dim sum restaurant close to where we live. I have walked past it many times but never really wanted to try it. I love dim sum if it´s great. Yauatcha in London is one of the best dining experiences i have had. And i have eaten lots of bad dim sum as well.
But this was acctually pretty good. The shrimp dunpling was not something i would order again, but i ordered one more portion of soup dumplings. I will go back to try some more stuff. 3/5

Goo stk 733 Hannam-dong

Goo stk 733 is a really good steak house in Itaewon, they also have an other location in Apguejong, close to Garosu-gil. They specialize in dry aged american beef, and i must say that they do it really really well. But in Korea quality beef cost a lot of money, and at this restaurant it´s not any different. A dinner for 2 with appetizers and wine will do you close to half a million krw. But it´s worth it if you don´t go there once a week. The wine list is exellent and the service as well. A great evening 4/5

Really big oysters, but the taste was awesome. The best i have had in a long time

Oysters, Moules with chili and mushrooms and Caesar salad

Meatball with Parmesan

Fried Hong Kong style egg noodle with lots of garlic

600 gram Rib eye

600 Gram Strip loin

Prawns and black pepper

Grilled prawns with black pepper sauce, was probably the best dish we had in Vietnam,
earlier this year.
So i got some prawns at home and decided to do it myself. I also made a glass noodle salad with chicken that i first grilled and then chopped in to small pieces.

Crispy pork belly, braised Pak choi

I often make pork belly, it´s easy and you can just leave it in the oven over night. And it always taste fantastic. This time i decided to pan fry the pork and make some Pak Choi that i braised in soy, ginger, garlic and Gochjang. Its really quick and simple but amazing.

Ramen!

I love ramen, we have a really nice ramen shop close to our house. I have been there a couple of times and it is cheap and it taste great. I had the freezer full of chicken bones, so i decided to make some ramen stock and make my own.
