Shengjianbao YYDS / JMT🫰. Didn’t have time in between meetings to go to the shop but delivery pulled through with these babies. It’s Chinese food every meal for me in Shanghai this week. — 📍Dong Tai Xiang 东泰祥 . 309 Shanxi Nan Lu near Jianguo Lu | 陕西南路309号(近建国西路) . 188 Chongqing Bei Lu near Dagu Lu | 重庆北路188号(近大沽路) . 63 Changning Lu near Wanhangdu Lu | 长宁路63号(近万航渡路) .

Really fun bistro-style wine bar @mutin_bar in Hannam! This place has been on my list to try for awhile from stalking @imjustjokim’s food posts and it was GOOD! All the bites we had were yummy and came with super friendly chef @alexhongs and staff! The somm was also very good at recommending wines in layman terms 👍. Will definitely return. — *Sourdough bread with rosemary butter *Jambon (from domestic pig) - so good *Choux gougere *18 month aged comte with fig jam *Daily fish (yellow croaker I believe) *1++ Korean beef sirloin, borseradish, wasabi leaf *Oven roasted cauliflower with smoked paprika *Sea bream carpaccio — 📍Mutin 뮤땅 2F, 4-2, Daesang-ro 12-gil, Yongsan-gu, Seoul 서울 용산구 대사관로12길 4-2 2층 #shanghaigirleatsSEOUL #뮤땅

IMOK ranks in the top 3 beef meals we’ve had in Seoul, according to my resident beef snob @dan_kcf whose diet variety consists of hanwoomakases and tacos. IMOK serves a course menu of everything smoked (even down to the salad 🫨), whose signature dishes are the 1. beef rib, reminiscent of Texas style BBQ but made with a Korean glaze and slides right off the bone, and 2. iberico bacon, a cross between the burnt ends of a good char siu and the thick cut bacon you’d get from great NY steakhouses. Chef @yooyongwook, who exercises great patience in stopping by every room to put on a show for us, explained he started out cooking for his friends who would post it online and gained some traction. He eventually left his corporate job to open a restaurant and here I am, paying good money to post him on Instagram 😂💸. I was honestly so excited every time he swooped into the room like a messiah with a meat drop 🤲. When asked what kind of BBQ he enjoys most (expecting something like Texas BBQ), chef @yooyongwook replied Korean BBQ 😂👍. The general hall dining area consists of bar and table seating and there are a handful of private rooms (where we sat). Courses are currently KRW 140K for hall table or bar; KRW 180K lunch / 220K dinner for room. 12 out of 10 would return ASAP. — 📍Imok Smoke Dining B1, 6 Apgujeong-ro 2-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 서울 강남구 압구정로2길 6 지하1층 #shanghaigirleatsSEOUL @imok.smokedining

대파집 or “scallion house” is a bbq restaurant specializing in thinly sliced pork belly and beef brisket, kept frozen to maintain its shape. Thin cuts result in less waiting time while cooking - maximizing the amount you can eat shove in your mouth per minute 🫨. I love eating it with raw and grilled scallion. Simple and so delicious. — 📍Dae Pa Jip 대파집 (Yeoksam Main Branch) 2/F, 28 Nonhyeon-ro 94-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 서울 강남구 논현로94길 28 2층 📍Dae Pa Jip 대파집 (Yeoksam No. 2 Branch) 1/F, 312 Nonhyeon-ro, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 서울 강남구 논현로 312 1층 #shanghaigirleatsseoul #대파집

My boss loves to remind me of his excellent taste and that he, not I, is responsible for discovering this gem of a wine bar @restaurant.vinho and introducing it to me 😒😂. This did in fact become one of my favorite spots in Seoul and every visit has been so good. Tasting menu and wine pairings are meticulously prepared by co-owners Sungbin @jeon_sb_ (chef) & Jinho @lino2341 (sommelier), whose names “Bin” and “Ho” come together to become the restaurant name Vinho. Just excellent all around. Double edged sword is that Vinho recently received a much deserved Michelin star 🌟 and is even harder to book now 🤭. — 📍VINHO 빈호 162 Wellstone Bldg, 38 Hakdong-ro 43-gil, Gangnam-gu, Seoul 서울특별시 강남구 학동로43길 38 논현웰스톤 논현웰스톤 A162호 #shanghaigirleatsSEOUL #vinho #빈호

I almost never eat/post lamb but when I do, you know it’s good! @el.molino_sungsu’s menu currently features an excellent grilled lamb rack with the tastiest mole and sweet potato mash. We ordered our usual tacos - iberico, barbacoa, and fish and also tried barbacoa flautas which were deep fried and accompanied with with another great mole that I couldn’t tell you what it was made from. A+ food and service as always (shoutout to the sweet and amazing Carla). — Recommend ordering: *Mole & lamb rack with sweet potato mash *Iberico taco with perilla (we ate 7 of these lol) *Barbacoa taco with pulled beef and feta *Barbacoa flautas with mole *Fried fish taco with chipotle mayo, seasonal fruit *Guac and chips *Churros (our server recommended pairing with a glass of mole blanco which tasted like chocolate and it was so good!) *Margaritas (duh) — 📍El Molino 엘몰리노 1F, 19-18 Seoul Forest 2-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul 서울 성동구 서울숲2길 19-18 1층 #shanghaigirleatsSEOUL #엘몰리노
