Website Review: The Daily Kimchi dot Com

September 5, 2007 by · Leave a Comment

thedailykimchi.jpgThe Daily Kimchi speaks about the lives of a Canadian couple that was previously teaching English in South Korea and living in Seoul and eating food!

The Gwanghwamun area is in Korea which is located near home to museums, palaces, and tonnes of cafes and coffee shops. Whenever they visited the City Hall area, they would always end up in Gwanghwamun to grab a bite to eat.

The waffles which they had the before week from The Place were good. But the waffles at Cafe imA in Gwanghwamun was much tasty enough, which was the best waffles they have ever had.

They dropped by on a Saturday afternoon, and Cafe imA was jam packed. The wait for a table would be 30-40 minutes–this is for the waffles of course! They had lots of time so they decided to bunker down, find a seat and wait. After watching the line grow and grow, they didn’t feel too bad about waiting.

The inside of the dining area, there are two areas for patrons to scarf their faces full of brunch items. They sat down in main area. The menu for Cafe imA is not very extensive, but it does cover the major brunch items. There’s soup, sandwiches, coffee, cakes, waffles…waffles…waffles…err, sorry about that. Anyways, they opted for their waffles with “everything” for 12,000w and the Cafe imA BLT sandwich. After a brief wait, they were presented with the following:

Holy hotcakes! Now these are what you call waffles! A freshly cooked waffle that’s still crispy, topped with two massive scoops of ice cream and two dollops of whipped cream. This plate definitely was meant to be shared, because it would be hard for one person to eat it all by themselves. I hope non-lovers of this waffles would also become crazy on having it if it is from the Cafe imA. Of course, while they were eating waffles they also shared this sandwich. It was a case of popping back and forth between a hot sandwich and waffles.

After this satisfying meal that definitely exceeded the number of daily calories the human body should intake in a day, they took a quick trip over to their open waffle kitchen to investigate. Now they know why the ice cream was so good–it was Haagen Dazs! Two ladies ran this waffle station and they would have to say they were doing an excellent job.

Once going through this website and if you’re looking for an awesome meal, waffles and sandwiches you would like visiting Cafe imA!

Teaching Kimchi Writer ContributorAre you a teacher? Write current and useful materials for www.teachingkimchi.com to discuss your experiences and others in Korea

Put your sword to the best use at www.teachingkimchi.com. Gain exposure for your work as well as meet similar writers like you to discuss what foreign teachers should, shouldn’t could, and couldn’t do in Korea. Imagine the exposure to a whole new world of culture and variance! What else could a writer look for?

Think about everyday life and you can see your mind spinning through things that have happened to you and will happen for most people. Write about them and just about anything for that matter. Start your articles from the time you get out of bed to the time you get in. Hey! You could also write about your dreams. We are open to ideas and creativity. Please make sure it has some kind of interesting point of view of Korea.

Articles should be about 400-600 words.

Articles fall into one of two categories:

1. You are what you eat- style – These are most interesting as they can come from real life experiences in Korea. You can be the hero of your articles.

2. Pass the buck – style – These articles need to have a focused subject. Let’s say you talk about the nightlife, beaches, leisure, food, health, bath and beauty, etc…Activities that engage people would be very welcome. Do not get confused! Your experience eating live baby octopuses could fall into the “You are what you eat- style”. Try to be very specific so that your readers understand the essence of the article from the very start.

Before you begin you can ask yourself:

-What is it that I’m writing about and is my point clear enough?

-Have I put my opinions also in the article?

-Is my article easy to understand? Plain is clear and also helpful. (You should bear in mind that many people reading this site have learned English as a second language and it’s important to keep the words interesting, however too much of your country’s slang will not really help as your article might just miss the point)

-Is it catchy? First impression is the best, so start it at its best. People even gist through the article at times, so make sure your paragraphs start in an interesting manner. A clear Introduction, body and conclusion is vital to leave a lasting impression.

-Does this article talk of Korea?

Having taken all this into account, send us your submissions to Writer and Contributor Position.

This will be a volunteer position and can grow into potential part time / article basis paid position (5-15$/per article). If your submission is being considered for publication, we will contact you.
