Sausage Breakfast Sandwich

English bangers and undressed cabbage

I didn’t write about this yet in the extremely backlogged posts of my last trip to Seoul… but I finally tried Isaac Toast before my flight home, and I was not disappointed.

Chestnut Latte

As the winter wears on, my cravings for warm and comforting food seem to be endless.

Heksenkaas

I spoke about my love for Heksenkaas before, and the lack of availability meant I was left to try and figure out the recipe on my own.

Yooja Lotus Root

During our last visit to Seoul, we stayed in a guesthouse that provided a “mother’s home-cooked breakfast”. While we were unable to partake in it often due to our early schedules, we tried to catch it at every given opportunity.

Halfway through our stay, one of the rotating banchan (side dishes) made an appearance – bright white lotus root with citron peel. I don’t recall ever eating lotus root that had not been cooked in some sauce that eventually browned its appearance, and I was intrigued.

Perfecting the Matcha Latte

I first started writing this post over two years ago, but sadly, was not able to perfect the matcha latte until now. There is definitely room for improvement, especially with my latte art skills, but I am finally satisfied with the end product.

The main issues I faced were clumpy matcha, lackluster foam, and an absence of the vibrant green colour that adorns so many matcha lattes I’ve bought. 

Orange Slice Latte

After seeing photos of what appeared to be a latte with an orange slice floating around Instagram, I tried to decode how to make it. After scouring the internet, I found recipe for a coffee latte… but being me, I decided to try my hand at a tea latte version.

Sweet Potato Latte

Last night I ventured to Koreatown and warmed my soul with a sweet potato latte. Intrigued, I wanted to try to make one myself.
