Welcome to Eat Like Koreans! I am MJay, a dedicated home cook and a passionate food explorer living in the heart of Seoul, South Korea.
To me, Korean food is more than just a meal; it is a profound medium for sharing one’s heart and expressing “Jeong” (affection). Just as I cherish the memories of my childhood and feel my mother’s love through the dishes she carefully prepared for me, I believe food allows us to pass that same warmth to our family, friends, and now, to you.
Why I Started This Blog In the fast-paced life of Seoul, I find my greatest joy and leisure in discovering delicious food and the beautiful spaces where we enjoy it. I started this blog to:
- Share Authentic Korean Flavors: Beyond the trendy dishes, I want to introduce the real, soul-warming food that Koreans eat every day.
- Bridge Cultures: By sharing the stories and traditions behind Korean cuisine, I hope to help global readers understand the “Jeong” embedded in our food culture.
- Provide Practical Guides: From local hidden gems in neighborhoods like Seongsu-dong to simple home recipes, I offer honest and practical insights for anyone who loves Korean food.
I am truly passionate about communicating through the language of food. I invite you to join me on this delicious journey to explore the true taste of Korea.
Warmly, MJay
