City Guide Review: Venus Kitchen (Seoul)

At Venus Kitchen, a restaurant tucked into a Hongdae alleyway, indie electronic jazz wafts through four floors of laid back southern Japanese vintage design. The food is a high quality bargain, and the scene is an unpretentious chance to experience a unique cuisine. Part Japanese, part Hawaiian, all delicious, Venus Kitchen specializes in Okinawa/Southern Island Japanese dishes.
City Guide Review: Nuance Art Caffe (Cheonan)
By Christina Socci, ETA ’13-14
In the middle of Cheonan’s ever-bustling downtown area sits the Nuance Art Caffe, a peaceful corner where the coffee is strong, the music is good, and the art is plentiful.

City Guide Review: Geumgok Samgyetang (Daegu)

Nested at the heart of Daegu is a picturesque restaurant draped in ivy — home to some of the best samgyetang (Korean-style chicken soup) in Daegu. The best part is that the soup is MSG-free! Samgyetang is a traditional Korean chicken soup made with sweet rice and flavored with ginger. At Geumgok Samgyetang, the dish is served with some radish kimchi and marinated garlic.
