Restaurant Bucket List #6-1

With our umbrellas in tow, we've managed to cross the last six restaurants off our bucket list. This was no small feat, with all the tasks we've had to do in the last week, but (most of) the trips were worth every bite.

#6- Potato Bacon Pizza at Pizza Hut, with lots of garlic sauce. This was a bit of a miss, because they were all out of the 'pan' pizza and we had to go for an over-priced stuffed-crust option. This type of crust didn't have the crispy greasy goodness of Pizza Hut's usual pie, but any pizza topped with potato wedges is okay in my books.

#5- Dalkgalbi- Because of the rain and busy times, we didn't get to go to our favorite dalkgalbi place, Yoogane. We didn't even get to go to our second favorite place because it was closed. This random shop we wound up at served up an okay dish but there was no cheeze-uh and we wound up leaving without even finishing the plate. Fail!



#4- Our favorite galbi restaurant in Suwon. We were going to go to Suwon on our last night in Korea, but we thought that might be a bit hectic so we went there on Monday instead. Most of the foods I've enjoyed in Korea can probably be re-created at home, but I don't know how I'd recreate the food at this place. Honey samgyupsal, yungneum galbi sol, and the best sides in the business- macaroni salad, vinegar soup, lots and lots of grass... amazing. I'll miss this restaurant the most.

#3- Din Tai Fung- A Taiwanese restaurant in Gangnam. We really loved the food in Taiwan, so this restaurant was a real find for us. The lemon chicken, hot and sour soup and beef noodle soup were amazing as always. There's a Taiwanese place we want to check out in Vancouver next week too. We're mad craving some Taiwanese meatball!!

#2- Gostiny Dvor- This place can do no wrong... I mean they completely messed up our order but everything still tasted great. And the company was lovely too.


#1- The last meal... ddoek samgyup and mul naegmyeon. What could make for a better final meal in Korea than bbq wrapped in rice paper with some icy noodles on the side? It was delicious.

Alright, now to mess up our wonderful week of dining with a last meal of airport food! Less than 12 hours to go!!
