Reservations

Two years have brought many changes.

My interests are more focused,

More and more time is spent at home,

and I find myself wanting to become 

a part the world around me

and not just an observer.

No, I'm not "signing" off blogging.

I've just decided to branch out and turn

 The Expat Table 

into it's own thing.

My local community 

loves the food,

loves the recipes,

and loves the idea of sharing a table.

It's time the project stood on its own two feet. 

 In fact, since I have a private tutor right now,

I'm using the opportunity to become proficient

at explaining the culinary arts in Korean.

Last week I spent two hours explaining

the ins-and-outs of Spanish Korean Fusion food.

Funny how I can't explain the weather, 

but can easily discuss the details of curing fish.

So, in summery I'm NOT 

giving up blogging on Chasing Tales.

I'm just refining the conversation.

If you are interested in following my food adventure,

or reserving A Chair At The Table

just join me at the

The Expat Table

we always have room for one more.

Japan-easy Lunches

Pyeongtaek Restaurants
We Love

My family is something I have built,

not something I was born with.

The hardest part of living in Korea

 is missing this homemade family.

So, as you may have noticed, 

the way I handle all these missing

parts of me is with food.

It all ties together in my drama.

Which is why I end up in Pyeongtaek 

eating Japanese comfort food more often than naught.

Seeing, as missing Paula and Aimee

can be considered one of my hobbies.

(UPDATE: CLOSED ㅠㅠ RIP)
The place I drown my sorrows

in udon is near Del Vino,

near the bus stop.

Even if you aren't desperately missing

your Japanese family.  

The food there is what you need

for chasing away the winter cold,

and of far better quality than most lunch spots.

Come on.

Who doesn't love a lunch that's

 quick and Japan-easy.

ps They don't speak English here 
and nothing is really in English  
BUT
There are lots of pictures to point at,
so you should be just fine.

If you want to get your Del Vino and Japanese,

Do this:

Step 1

Look out from AK Plaza.  

Take the road that goes to the right of This phone shop.

Step 2

Turn right on the street before

system G.

Step 3

Take the soft left at Mr. Pizza.

It's at the intersection on the right.

Now, to get to the Japanese lunch,

just turn around and go the other way, 

it will be on your left just past the bus stop
