Seoul Far Seoul Good

The most impressive meal was when a wooden tray carrying about 30 dishes lined each table (4 to one table, and the tables were joined in one straight line for 20 of us). There was at least 3 types of fish, soup, steamed egg, oddly addictive green peppers, pig totters and an array of side dishes... It was insane, must do it again

Had a terrible KFC experience last time I was in Seoul, so I made it up by having it 4 times, all from different branches. This one from myeongdong (located at this street of restaurants) has Kang hodong's face haha plus a super cheap beer tower that got my friends happy, while I stuffed my face.

Reminding me of the bustling night markets in Taiwan, but with its own unique Korean flair (ajummas shouting at you to sit at their stall, funky foods like live octopus, blood sausages, all the works of a pig); I love this place. Even the simple bindatteok (mung bean pancakes) are delicious. Try to avoid the restaurants at the side though, just stick to picking a stall manned by one of those aunties.

Had this last dec and it was the only repeat meal I had during my trip last month because IT IZ THE BEST. Not exactly cheap ($12 for 10 dumplings) but IT IZ THE BEST JUICY PLUMP DUMPLINGS. Only 3 items on the menu (dumplings, kalguksu / noodle soup, and bibimguksu / cold noodle) and they are all damn good.
