Your Guide to Goyang, South Korea
One of the great things about Ilsan is that it is always growing and the rise of the cocktail bar trend is proof of that. No longer do you have to go to Seoul for some delicious (but pricey) drinks. There are a few really nice whisky and cocktail bars around now. I just hope... Continue Reading →
I've recently been away from Goyang for a while; I was down in Busan for a month and then I went overseas for a few months so I haven't been able to keep up with this blog much. However I'm back now and one of the first things I did was catch up with some... Continue Reading →
Maeil Christmas (매일크리스마스) or in English 'Everyday Christmas' is a relatively new restaurant in Hwajeong. As the name suggests it is Christmas themed but only in decor; the food and drinks have nothing to do with Christmas. It's located down the main pedestrian area of Hwajeong not far from the station. It's up on... Continue Reading →
I've been busy lately and haven't been able to post much. I did happen to visit an Indian restaurant for lunch last week so I thought I would post a quick review on that. Hopefully I will be able to get out more in the coming weeks so will be able to do more posting.... Continue Reading →
Last weekend I went for a walk over to One Mount. I haven't been in over a year so I was interested to see what had changed and if there were any new restaurants and cafes. They have added some new places there and they have a whole new area in front of One Mount... Continue Reading →
I visited this interesting cafe called Pie Man in Hwajeong the other day. My friend wanted to try their savory pie and I was interested to see what they had in the way of sweet ones. Now as a New Zealander pies are very important to me. A good mince and cheese pie is probably... Continue Reading →
I recently had a rare half day at work and was finished by lunchtime so I took the opportunity to check out a great area in Ilsan called Madu. Now you might be aware of Madu Station which is on the Orange (no.3) Line but the area is much bigger than that and extends out... Continue Reading →
Finally made it to Joshua Burger over in Baekseok-dong, Goyang the other day. My friend and I got up super early to watch a movie at 9.20am. It was the only time that worked for both of us. We are both night owls so it was a big effort but sometimes it has to be done.... Continue Reading →
Soupy (수피) is a great little restaurant located upstairs (Building A) in La Festa. I recently visited for brunch and was very impressed. It looks like a country kitchen type place and the food has that kind of feel too. Everything looks and tastes homemade (it seems like most of it is made on the premises)... Continue Reading →
Allumare Coffee Roasters (알루마레 커피로스터스) is a nice, quite little cafe. I've been here a few times to meet a friend who lives in Hwajeong. She likes to come here to work on her computer sometimes. The cafe has a country vibe with lots of plants and dried flowers hanging up all over the walls.... Continue Reading →
