Heukdon Yeonga is a Korean restaurant, located in Bukchang-Dong…

…specializing in BBQ, particularly pork, specifically from “black (heuk) pigs (don).”

Dinner with Number One Fan LY, the first time in over 2 years and 5 months (see most recently 4.104 Yusanseul Bap).

It’s been so long that her first question was, “What are you doing in Manila?”

We did see each other for a quick late-night drink in Seoul sometime last year — which got cut short because IZ suddenly began to vomit — but if an event doesn’t occur within the context of dinner, and the details aren’t recorded on the blog, then it may as well have never happened.

Unusual for Korean BBQ, the raw meat was served relatively thick, like steak, allowing for the development of a crust during the cooking.

Mul Naeng Myeon (1.5) — typical BBQ restaurant tangy broth rubbery noodle crap, but still good to have something refreshing to cut through the greasiness of the meat.

By the time we parted company, I was kinda drunk, but I seem to recall making a commitment to go on a Disney Cruise with the two families this winter.
