Bringing Back Cocktail Hour – Seoul, South Korea

Goal:  Find a unique way to allocate Laura’s recent “Have Seconds” sponsorship of “Bring Back Cocktail Hour” while traveling in Seoul, South Korea.

Steps we followed to accomplish the goal:

1. Find a small, inviting restaurant lacking English-language signs.
2. Enter with a smile and extend a confident and hearty Korean-language “Hello” (AN-YOUNG-HA-SAY-YO) to the staff.
3. Select a unique looking item on the menu and deliver a friendly Korean-language “Please” (JOM-CHOO-SAY-YO).
4. Toast our generous friend Laura who sponsored an affordable and enjoyable two rounds of beer along with this amazing appetizer.  After some analysis we determined that the tasty treat was an asian-style pancake or omelet with bonita (fish) flakes that dance atop the dish as it lets off steam - Watch the action in this 12 second video:

We extend thanks to Laura in our best Korean (COM-SAH-HAAM-NEE-DAH) for helping us find this gem of a restaurant - We liked it so much, we returned a few days later for a spicy noodle bowl and wontons.  Delicious!

I have a friend who spent about 10 years in Korea. Several times he took me to a small Korean restaurant off Havana St. Great food, especially on cold days when it would keep you warm from the inside for the rest of the day.

Steve - Thanks for the comment. We loved the food in South Korea. We went to one little restaurant known for its authentic cuisine and sampled 10 different side dishes (cabbage, noodles, tofu, fish, etc.). Each was as unique and delicious as the next.
