THIS! OMG. THIS was perhaps the best jjambong I ate in my life. It was a little hole in the wall with no more than 10 tables, but there was a line out the door. The MR actually went back the next day to eat it again.

Boong-uh Bbang! Totally brought me back to my childhood.

Octopus Leg. I love octopus leg. My uncle used to work for a fishery so he would bring us all these octopus legs. It doesn’t taste the same in the U.S. I miss Korea already.

This was perhaps the best meal we had in the motherland. I didn’t understand all the rave about “han-woo” gogi. I mean, we eat USDA Choice here! What’s the big deal, right!? OMG. It seriously MELTS in your mouth. The beef was soooo tender. We also had dae-chang and yang. It was my first time trying yang, and I have to say it was great as well. Oh! And the MOOK BAP. Korea is all about MOOK these days. I <3>

I had read such great reviews about the buffet at 63 Building, that we decided to check it out. It was definitely $$$$, but was TOTALLY worth trying at least once. We ate buffets at the Ritz, Biz-Baz, Palm Palms, and 63 Building…and by FAR 63 Building’s buffet blew the others out of the water! I mean, just look at the steak and lobster! =P

BizBaz – another buffet we went to located inside the COEX. The food here was excellent as well! It was a strong second to the buffet at 63 Building. I'm looking through all our food pictures and we really ate A LOT huh? =P We were there for a month, so this isn’t even ALL the food we ate. There were days I forgot my camera! I’m almost done with all the pictures. I have tons from Jejudo, so stay tuned!
