In Seoul. Winter break. Going back to Manila tomorrow — can hardly wait.
Koreans like to sprinkle sesame seeds on top of dishes, supposedly not as a decorative garnish, rather as an essential ingredient, sesame seeds supposedly being so nutritious. If so, shouldn’t the sesame seeds be mixed more thoroughly throughout the dish to ensure that every bite gets a few? The perfect bite : one piece of pork, one dollop of mumalaengi, rolled in a strip of napa cabbageGood enough for us to clear the table.
Final dinner in town at one of my all-time favorite restaurants. Solid as ever, though not as spectacular as I’d once thought.
