Somehow I keep ending up having lunch around Yeoksam Station. On this day I went to my favourite Naju gomtang place from Hannam-dong.
Spicy gomtang
I don’t really eat spicy food, so I have no idea what it tastes like.
The gomtang from the combo menu
The broth was a little salty this time, but since you get plenty of meat I had no real complaints..
The suyuk and mandu from the combo menu
It tastes good, but the portion is pretty huge, so from now on I think I’ll just order the gomtang on its own.
Tea from Chloris, the tea specialist in the basement of Star Tower in Yeoksam-dong
After lunch I moved on to Chloris for a bit of posh-cafe indulgence. It’s cheaper than Starbucks and the atmosphere is nice – and on top of that they bring their desserts in from Hôtel Douce – so it’s a very popular place.
Hibiscus tea
It came out with flower petals floating on top. It looks great, and it tasted good too.
