My first visit to Noryangjin since the new market building opened. Hmm… well… it wasn’t all that impressive. It didn’t have to be DDP-level, but they could have done a lot better, which is a bit of a shame.
The building
Being a weekend, the crowds were huge. It’s one of Seoul’s tourist spots now.
Live-fish sashimi from Hyeongje Susan
Hmm… this was the 60,000-won set for four, and it tasted better than it looked. Still, I felt like I’d fallen into a rut, so I wanted to try some other stalls too.
Sashimi turned into carpaccio
Should have sliced it a bit thinner…
Carpaccio
Ajillo
Made with the shrimp and baby squid we’d bought at Noryangjin, and it was delicious. Food made with good ingredients can’t really go wrong…
The wines of the night
The one on the far right was fantastic value, but rumour has it it’s been discontinued…
Ribs came out too, as befits a house party…
Pasta loaded with porcini
Rich and intense. I really enjoyed it.
The dessert I brought out
A tasty little snack.
Taiwanese castella, all the rage these days
Hmm… I prefer the Japanese kind… this one felt too moist and sticky…
