Family Business in Korea, Day 5.

- Day 2 (9.013 Mul Naeng Myeon)
- Day 3 (9.014 Mul Naeng Myeon)
- Day 4 (9.015 Janchi Guksu)
In Seoul. Here to attend my cousin MS’s wedding.
In its second year, the restaurant was recognized by the Michelin Guide – whatever that’s worth.
Word has spread, and business is booming.

The broth was so amazing that I couldn’t help but first to drain the bowl before even taking a bite of the noodles.

Incheon International Airport (Terminal 2) – Korean Air Prestige Lounge
As a member of Korean Air’s Morning Calm club, I get to access the lounge 4 times per year, even if I’m not flying business class.
The facilities were nice enough, but the food left a lot to be desired.
As always, I am grateful for and respectful of the opportunity to travel, especially via business class, including access to lounges. Any comments here, even the negative ones, are simply relative to other business class experiences, not complaints per se.
