Suwon Wang Galbi
3.0
-Yonggang, Mapo, Seoul, Republic of Korea-
with TZ Layton and his family
In the afternoon, I met up with author TZ Layton (not his real name) during his visit to Dulwich College.
Cheonggiwa Town is a Korean restaurant. Specializes in grilled beef (Korean BBQ). Franchise, currently 29 locations.
Afterwards, I drove him back to his hotel and hosted dinner for him and his family. The food was good. The company was amazing.
The origin of marinated beef short ribs – yangnyeom galbi – is often attributed to the city of Suwon. However, galbi served in Suwon are typically cut shorter across the bone, providing narrower strips of meat, in contrast to wider “wang” style found here.
Too busy chatting to take proper pictures of the food, I was more intrigued by the noodle and rice dishes, which I will return to try and document on the blog. Stay tuned.
