I’m back home after a whirlwind trip to Korea, but what was waiting for me was a mountain of work and a string of drinking sessions. Life’s pretty much the same wherever you go, I guess. Oh well…
Beer – draft (nama biru)
Kicking things off with a beer..
Yukhoe (beef tartare)
It was a little too frozen.
Liver
You dip it in sesame oil, and it’s nutty and clean-tasting, really delicious. No fishy taste at all; if anything it’s almost refreshing.
Rosu (loin)
It’s a pricey cut, but apparently there’s an even tastier jo-rosu (premium loin).. it’s over budget though, so I’ll settle for this.
Horumon
It’s the Japanese take on gopchang (grilled offal).. personally I think the Korean style is better. Plus this place isn’t even a specialist..
Iberico pork
You can probably guess from the white fat. It does melt in your mouth, but I’ve already been spoiled by wild boar, so it doesn’t even register for me.
Galbi (kalbi)
This one’s just a snack to go with the drinks.. come to think of it, I didn’t eat any vegetables that day. Ahem..
Drank until 1 a.m. again that night before heading home. Office life is one long stretch of exhaustion.
