Yesterday after getting thoroughly lost on the subway and being totally overwhelmed by the Yongsan Electronics Market, I found myself starving inside the largest mall I’d ever been in. Luckily it had a pretty decent “food court”. Although that name probably doesn’t do it justice. It was more like a “food wing” as it spanned four stories of the gigantic iPark Mall. There were so many choices that I had to walk those four floors three times before I finally chose a restaurant to eat in.
I ended up having Yukgaejang, a spicy beef soup/stew. All of the below came out to $6. In Korea, there’s no tipping and no tax added after the fact, so it makes it super easy to pay.
As I was walking around those four floors, I ran into this little gem. I hate to break it to them, but this wasn’t no “California Pho Restaurant.” It was WAAAAAAY to clean for that title. Prices weren’t bad though, $7-8 for a bowl (kimchi included of course).
In case you were wondering, yes, CHICKEN + CHARCOAL = GOOD COMBINATION!!
I walked by a movie theater and couldn’t believe how cheap their popcorn and soda combos were. I guess the Koreans haven’t learned the art of screwing movie-goers yet like in American theaters.
