Taping running socks for weak ankles: VANTAGE MAX Sports Socks Daily

VANTAGE MAX Sports Socks Daily are running socks with a taping-style design and built-in compression. A runner with flat, wide feet, a history of ankle surgery and plantar fasciitis wore the Daily in white, size M, with ASICS Novablast 5 shoes and found that ankle and sole pain clearly eased while pace improved from 6:36 to 6:28. VANTAGE MAX Sports Socks Daily are tight and tricky to pull on at first, but they are a strong recommendation for runners with weak ankles.

Daejang lamb skewers for three in Cheolsan: Yangkkochi Daejang

Yangkkochi Daejang (양꼬치대장) is a chilled-lamb skewer restaurant near Exit 1 of Cheolsan Station in Gwangmyeong, Gyeonggi. The writer grilled 3 servings of daejang skewers (16,000 won for 180g) to medium over a strong charcoal fire, then finished with on-myeon (warm noodle soup). Verdict: Yangkkochi Daejang's daejang skewers are thick, juicy and free of gamey smell, as good as the lamb skewers the writer ate in China.

Seolleung room izakaya: hanwoo tataki and burdock motsunabe at Momiji

Momiji Seolleung Branch (모미지 선릉점) is a premium izakaya (Japanese-style pub) on the 3rd floor of a building near Seolleung Station Exit 1 in Gangnam, Seoul, where every seat is a private room. The writer paired mentaiko motsunabe (pollock roe and beef offal hot pot, 32,000 won) and hanwoo sirloin garlic tataki (seared Korean beef, 33,000 won) with a bokbunja highball and Kirin draft beer. The writer loved the deep, burdock-rich broth and the melt-in-your-mouth tataki. For quiet conversation over hearty bar food, the hanwoo tataki and mentaiko motsunabe combination at Momiji Seolleung Branch is well worth ordering.

Gangnam poke restaurant regular's pick: salmon with chicken, Ola Poke

Ola Poke Samseong Branch is a poke restaurant in Gangnam, Seoul, a 5-minute walk from Samseong Station Exit 4 in the alley in front of Daemyeong Middle School. The writer, a regular who had visited more than 5 times before starting the blog, found avocado sold out that day, so ordered salmon poke with added chicken breast instead of the Super Protein Poke, and was pleased with the fresh raw salmon, the base seasoning and the generous portion. Even people who think poke never fills you up are likely to find Ola Poke Samseong Branch filling and delicious.
