Korea Day 1
Spent the day in Myeong-dong being very touristy. Girls wanted to shop but food saved the day. Had a delicious kimchi stew for brunch in a tiny hole in the wall restaurant; super inexpensive as well, approx AUD $8 a dish. Followed with a cafe latte from a coffee shop chain (no not the green American one) which I think they may have forgotten to put the coffee in, was really weak.
After more shopping 🙄 snuck away from the girls for another coffee, tried a different chain this time and ordered an "Americano" which is what the Koreans call a long black. Interestingly whenever you order a coffee you have to specify whether it's hot or iced, it's not automatically assumed it will be hot. My Americano did have a coffee flavour, as you would hope with black coffee, but wasn't bitter at all. I didn't come for the coffee so no harm done.
Found the girls and it's dinner time, thank the deities for that. They decided on
dak galbi at a place called Yoogane. With dak galbi the meal ingredients are thrown into a pan and ccoked in front of the diners. After eating most of the meal the waiter returns with some rice and fries it up with whatever's left in the pan. Super tasty and very in expensive. Korean food isn't only delicious, it's fun!
