Mul-naengmyeon 물냉면 or cold water noodles with ice cubes are a godsend in the extreme summer months in Korea. Many restaurants also serve them with large dumplings which makes for a great combination. Check some restaurants that sell the North Korean version of the dish which is absolutely delicious. Remember, if there is a line out the front door, it is probably worth it.

What do people think of Chapdolseuk?
Also, when I'm at work in London, I often visit this Korean fast food chain called Kimchee. What do you think of their menu? Seeing as it's fast food in London (at a good price), is the offering any good?

no one actually likes beondaegi; they just eat it out of nostalgia.

boonguhbbang (붕어빵) are wonderful street food treats, especially when it starts to get cold. i'm surprised that your GF would think they're spicy, since it's just pastry dough filled with sweet red bean paste.

That's what this thread needs... some pictures. A friend sent me a link to this blog. Some very nice food pictures here...
I had emailed my friend regarding a dish I tried here in SoCal, called 오삼불고기/Osam Bulgogi, which is like 오징어볶음/Ojingeo bokkeum/spicy sauteed squid made with added pork belly. It's really good. Never had it in Korea, but my friend responded with this link. Doesn't it look good?
You can see the source at the bottom of the post:
I believe I will make a point of trying this when I'm in Seoul next time.

If you're ever in Hongdae, there's a jokbal place that you gotta try! Makgeolli + that = heaven.
I'll post some pics from my trip (more are available in my blog):
Hotteok
Soondae
Bulgogi madness! MMM.
Temple food
Naengmyeon
Seolleongtang
Where I had all my post-hangover meals. Mmmm.
