Lunch

I had lunch with a friend at the "Boiled Broccoli" restaurant that I posted about last month--I like eating there:

Sanbon Restaurant

There is a restaurant in Sanbon, on the ground floor of the Gunpo Culture & Arts Center, which is quite nice: "Boiled Broccoli".  It has individual shabu-shabu burners (electric) plus a buffet (on the small side but plenty enough and with good variety).

Shabu Shabu

For lunch I went with a friend to a 'shabu shabu' restaurant.  This is where you cook vegetables and meat in a pot at the table.  At the end of the meal you toss some 'kalguksu' (handmade wheat flour noodles) into the broth to cook.

This restaurant was a bit different in that you could decide on an 'unlimited' option, and keep refilling your side dishes and veggies and meat. (We chose that option, at $18 a person.)

We had more food than we could eat, though we both gave it a valiant effort.  We could have refilled the meat trays, but I knew from the beginning that wasn't going to happen.

Our menu option also included a dish of 'bossam', or boiled pork.

This restaurant is in Pyeongchon:
