Korean Grocery Store Directory

Korean Grocery Shopping DirectoryJust a small announcement that I made a Korean grocery store directory for Brisbane residents. This directory will expand as I gather more information. I am particularly trying to focus on building a Korean grocery shopping directory for Australia. (Blessed those of you who live in Australia. :) )

For the directory, please follow the link – http://mykoreankitchen.com/korean-stores/australia/brisbane/

If you would like me to also cover your favourite Korean store in your city and country, please send me the store name, address and phone number details to sue at mykoreankitchen.com or simply leave a comment below this post. Please ensure your provided information is current and accurate. Enjoy your cooking today!

My Korean Kitchen on ABC Radio for Lunar New Year’s Day 2013

On Air

A couple of weeks ago, Jen from Jenius (a Sydney based food blogger) contacted me and asked whether I was interested in sharing about Korean Lunar New Year’s Day culture on ABC (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) radio. I was very shocked at first. It was only a few days after I came back to blogging from my hiatus so I didn’t expect any spotlight upon my come back.

Regardless, I was very hesitant to say yes because I knew that I am not the best person to represent Korean culture in Brisbane or in Australia and also expressing my ideas in writing is much easier than speaking on the radio!

Luckily it wasn’t a live program and it was a casual phone interview, except that I didn’t have much time to prepare for the interview. I particularly had some difficulty explaining Yutnori (윷노리) as I wasn’t prepared at all for this and I hope you don’t laugh at me. :)

So, if you would like to hear my “Kimchi flavoured” Konglish voice, you can listen via Youtube below. I only selected the part I was involved in (7 mins long!). Now I am *blushing*.

Nothing to do with Salad Kimbap

Salad Kimbap0608

I am often amazed at how many kinds of Kimbap are out there. This salad Kimbap is one of those. I made it a couple of weeks ago and have been hesitating about whether I should post it or not. But the picture was just so gorgeous to not to mention it, even though the taste wasn’t really fantastic!

OK, so the point is that I am not talking about this salad Kimbap recipe. It is about my personal matter. I don’t think I have to report about my personal life nor you need to know about it, but it affects this blog’s future and maybe your convenience.

I’ve been so busy and tense this week. I just started a course. Don’t get too excited. It is not a cookery course nor photography. There was one time I was seriously thinking about cooking or journalism, but I decided not to go with either of them.

I am not quite happy to be a student again. It is scary being a student in a foreign country and knowing that I have to study two times harder than others, because of my not very fluent English. I am such a sucker in reading English text. I also need to look after my home after school, then naturally this blog comes very last.

I certainly wouldn’t want to close this blog down. I put too much of my energy and love into it. And I also feel responsible for you too.

I hope I can post one article a week at least, but we will see how that goes. You might have to wait for a couple of days or more to get my answers or responses to your requests or questions. You can still request recipes you want to see but I certainly don’t have time to do it unless it is super simple. Just keep these in mind.

Thank you.
