Porchetta

3.5

at The Goyang Sikdang

-Jeongbalsan, Ilsandong, Goyang, Gyeonggi, Republic of Korea-

with IZ, MtG

Haven’t been to the restaurant in over 3 years (see most recently 13.285 Wild Rucola Pizza).  Would love to go all the time, but jeez (been watching Fargo these days) it’s so far from home.

Much more sophisticated decor than before, including new tables + chairs + lighting.

On our recent trip to Cebu (see generally 17.005 Chicken Adobo with Fried Eggs + Kimchi), I had purchased additional dive gear, pushing me over the baggage allowance, so MtG was kind enough to take a small bag of clothes for me.  I dropped by today to retrieve the bag and enjoy a meal.

Happy to see that the menu has diversified beyond just pizza and pasta.

The food was excellent, as always.

Porchetta (3.5): with chive-pesto sauce and a side of balsamic glazed mushrooms.
Bread (3.5): served toasted, so the compound butter melted right away.
Pesce (3.5): I keep telling him that this isn’t called “pesce,” which simply means “fish” – the ingredients don’t even include fish.
Smoky Chorizo Pizza (3.5): as anticipated
