Smoked at the Smokey Saloon

It looks like the Metropolitician and ExPat Jane had a bad experience at the Smokey Saloon in Itaewon this week. Now, it could have been a one time incident, but considering the pattern of bad service at western restaurants in Korea, who knows?

I went there once a couple of years ago. The burgers were okay, but they were too expensive, especially since even the fries were a la carte. I agree with Mr. Metro that the Wolfhound burger is much better. Man, I’ve been craving that for months now. I need to get my lazy butt to the ‘Twon.

    nice blog!! just recently found it. went through your entire blog in a few days. my eyes hurt from staring at the computer for so long. keep up the good work!!
  • There's really not much of a soup base. It's gochujang, a little dwinjang, and you can make a quick dashi, or fish/seaweed stock, which is the stock used in most Korean soups. Eun Jeong showed me a method of getting more flavor out of the gochujang by frying it in the pan for a while before adding liquid.
  • Hmm.. it looks messy but im sure it tastes nice. i remembered having something like that (spicy, with ramyun + rice cake+ egg) when i went to Seoul. It was cheap meal but nice.
    Do you mind telling me how to make the soup base?
  • Dude, if you didn't already know it was Budae Jjigae you'd think I just scooped up some stuff off the streets of Hongdae at 5AM Sunday and put it in a wok.
  • Your budae actually looks better.
