A few weeks ago, I got a surprising email from a Flickr user, completely out of the blue. A lovely guy by the name of Dave had spotted my photos and loved them so much that he wanted to build an application with them on Facebook and was asking for permission to use the photos and text from this blog to do so.

Talk about blush - I thought my face would burn into a charred crisp!

Anyway, I jumped eagerly into the project, and after many emails and a few chat sessions…we’d finally like to present you with:

Kimchi Restaurant is a Facebook application designed to let you share some of the Korean dishes from this food blog, and we’ll be doing regular updates every few months after I’ve blogged enough entries to warrant adding them :)

Now, as Dave and I are new to the Facebook building thing, we’d both really appreciate it if you could have a look and let either of us know of any bugs that you find so that we can fix ‘em up quick smart.

Oh, and I should set the record straight - Dave is definitely the brains of our operation, coding late into the night while his cat hindered his efforts by doing things such as sitting on his mouse, all I did were the pictures and nattering! So, thanks to the most gifted, funny, talented Dave for his support, friendship and all the effort he put into creating this! :D

EDIT - Incidentally, if any of you guys have any particular Korean dishes that you’d like the recipe to, then please feel free to leave a request in the comments here so I can add them to my ‘to-do’ list :)

I’m going to check it out right now…way to go, Ellie!

That is excellent Ellie. I’ve added it and forwarded it to a few bloggers.

Sounds like a very interesting idea.

Hi Ellie,
Your blog is excellent! I was thinking to ask you for two korean recipes: One is squid roll 오징어순대 ( There are some things inside the squid such as tofu, korean grass noodles, green onions, squid..etc. To me, it looks a little bit like kimbap after you cut it) The second recipe is korean cod or seafood stew. Thanks a lot for your time!!

Thanks, Kat :)

Barbara - Thank you so much :) I hope people like it, and of course, any and all feedback is most welcome!

Tanna - Cheers, but I can’t take the credit for the idea as it came from Dave :)

Helen - Thank you :) To be honest, I’ve only had the traditional 순대, have never tried the 오징어 variety but I will ask my mother about it :) And seafood stew (해물탕/매운탕) is on my list of things to blog :)

I just found the 김치 restaurant on Facebook and added it pronto (after sending it to 5 of my closest friend, of course!). Thank you so much for posting these fabulous recipes! I am so anxious to try some out.

Beloved - thanks so much for stopping by :) I’m glad that you like the app and I hope you like the recipes just as much :)

Hello! Awesome website — makes me hungry just to look at it. May I suggest kimchi chigae as one of your next recipes please? =) Thanks, and good luck!

Kimchi Fan - I’m just trying to figure out how to shoot it so that it appears appetizing, I’ll try it again tomorrow :)
