Mediterranean food from a restaurant in Itaewon called Petra. This was the best food I've had since I've been here.
Hello world! It's been a while. Since moving 8000 miles away from my home in America to Seoul, South Korea, I've experienced a lot. It feels like a year's worth of memories in just four months. I'm going to attempt to document the food I've eaten, among other things, on this rebrand of The Grub Bowl.
The Grub Bowl originated as a log of my dietary choices and therefore, my philosophy about a lot of things. But now I believe food extends further than just taste, or gathering to eat; for me, it's reflective of my lifestyle and my overall wellbeing. I can tell a lot about how I'm feeling in the moment when I think of what I've had to eat for the day, week, or even month.
I've been struggling to find balance since moving to Seoul, as there are an endless amount of things to do, constantly, and part of me wants to indulge in every impulse to go see the sights. I've allowed myself to do this many weekends in a row. However, now that I'm settled into my job, I have time for myself. And of course, for me, that means time for cooking.
Today I'll be sharing the interesting food inspirations I've come across since my arrival in South Korea, and my aspirations for future dishes, along with other experiences (of course, revolving around meals) that I've come to appreciate, along with a bit of "The Grub Bowl soup for the Seoul."
