So Far Seoul Good Part 8 - Day 4 Dinner

After the last snack on the soft serve ice cream, we went on a shopping spreeee around Myeudeung until hunger calls for us to stop shopping and start hunting for food!


we finally decided unanimously to settle down in this restaurant... that serves many hot plates dishes... and this is what that caught our attention...

Chicken and Seafood hotplate! and it is sooo cheap and it (looks) like a pretty big portion! heh

The Menu

The interior is filled with the smell of the hot plate, but it smells so good!

Our hotplate, uncooked...

turn on the fire!

and you get this!

The seafood is for real! The octopus is a baby octopus but it is quite big!! and it moves as the whole thing simmers in the heat! The factors that gave this dish the plus is the special marination, the generosity in the portion, and the freshness of the ingredients!

Accompanying the hot plates is a salad bar... and what makes this salad bar rocks is the APPLE SALAD SAUCE

The coolness of the apple salad sauce cools down any spiciness and heat of the hotplate.

And a cold soup to go along with the meal. I find this a but eeeky, becauce imagine drinking a chilled soup that is sour with a tinch of spiciness... It's just like Tom Yam Soup in ICE

TADA! All cooked and ready to eat!

and more apple salad!

After the heavy dinner, I was full but still craving for something which has been bugging me for a few days...

Street stall selling Cuttlefish and octopus food items. After choosing what you want, the lady will cook it over the stove and you can instantly smell the fragrant of the cuttlefish!


It was nice and crispy, and after chewing for some time, it turns chewy, i call this sotong chips!

Many locals were seen drinking this particular brand of coffee, so i bought this coffee for the next morning! and yes, it was nice!

This looks remarkably Chinese to me-like the many Chinese hot pot places with mounds of meat and veggies. Is Korean coffee sweet?

i didnt eat the street food when i was in korea a few years back. wad a pity.

but i sure miss the bbq in korea. the local ones arent authentic at all!

and i miss the kimchi! although i was complaining about having to eat 8 days of kimchi in korea...

the street food was not really THAT fantastic, so i guess it was not such a pity afterall!

and yes nothing in sg has come close to the real bibimbap/bbq in korea. even the so called Authentic ones in SG operated by koreans. I guess the original taste is tweeked to suit the general SGporeans taste buds... jjust a guess.

I love authentic Korean food. Naeng Myun and bimbimbap are among my faves.
