Before heading off to Japan, I couldn’t skip a visit to Molto’s new place in Sangam.

Roughly what it looks like

A lot of new things have popped up in Sangam. The center of Seoul is shifting, I suppose. The area around Molto is freshly built and still feels a bit unsettled, but the restaurant itself seemed to have found its footing nicely.

The plate

A glass of wine

Yellowtail carpaccio

Lovely presentation.

Bread

Red shrimp pasta, I think..

A lavish composition.

Probably the mackerel pasta

Molto means mackerel pasta, after all.

Roman-style chicken

The cooking was spot on, but I’d just had some incredibly good chicken in Kyoto not long before… and it’s hard to overcome a difference in ingredients..

Tiramisu

This came on the house, and it was excellent. Better than the tiramisu at Mafia Dessert.

Going with just a few people makes it hard to eat your way through the menu. I’d like to come back with a big group next time, but work is busy, so who knows when that’ll be..
