@Emily – I had really good dduk galbi today in Samcheongdong, but not dak galbi. I think that’ll be in a few days. I have so much to eat and so little time! I need another stomach.

Dak galbi! For some reason, I haven’t had luck finding it in the U.S. (although I hear there’s a lot on the west coast). Chuncheon is the famous area for it but you can find a few spots in Seoul that have it too…?

One of the best chachantengs (informal tea house) out there. Happy eating!

You forgot about 木須炒餅 in Peking, okay so maybe that’s not an everyday favorite, but it’s one of those things so authentic that only natives would look for it. Oh right, pinyin on that is mu4 xu1 chao3 bing3 or ‘mushu cooked with pancakes.’
