2015.6.28 Ha-nam Pork BBQ and Guylian cafe in Jamsil, Seoul

My wife and I visited Jamsil region for eating port bbq.
The name of restaurant is 'Ha-nam Pork BBQ".
Ha-nam is one of the city in Korea, this city is famous with pork food, I guess.

The price of variety pack (in Korean, "mo-dum") is 38,000won(=$38), this weight is 600gram. it is enough for two person, my wife and I.

There are three part, pork belly, throaty part, and pork chops. variety pack consists of these three part of pork.

Korean famous side dish is Kimchi. If you visit the Korean restaurant, you can grill Kimchi. When Kimchi is cooked, hot(=spicy) taste is decreased. So I think cooked Kimchi is better than raw style.

My wife and I really enjoy this bbq. the pork is fresh and assistants in the restaurant help to cook it.

2015.5.24 [Cafe] Koren traditional cafe, .Sae-sori, Mul-sori.

On Sunday evening, my family visited Korean traditional cafe, 'Sae-sori, Mul-sori'.
Sori means sound, and sae is bird, mul is water, so translating to English is "Sound of birds, sound of water".

It is located in suburb of downtown in Seongnam. we visited by the car.
as you see the photos, the house is Korean traditional style.

We ordered three, red-bean sherbet, jujube tea and coffee.
red-bean sherbet is popular in summer in Korea. Jujube tea is very good for health.

When you come to Korea, try to visit Korean traditional cafe.
