September 2017. Day 4 in Korea. After the morning meeting in Cheongju city, we left and head to Seoul via Express bus which takes about 2 hours journey. The destination is Seoul Central City Bus Terminal which has department stores, retails, movie theaters and even hotels all within the terminal building. Feels like we are at an airport, not a bus terminal. It is also connected with Seoul Subway, from here we took the Subway Line 3 to our final destination~ Ilsan, Goyang.
We are living nearby Daehwa Station in Ilsan. After check in to a hotel just one street away from the staion, we meet up with a friend who lives nearby for dinner. We haven't meet each other since our last met in Seoul in 2014. Friend recommended Hwasumok 화수목~ a barbeque restaurant next to Daehwa Station Exit.2. Three of us share an big size assorted meat course, about 800g of 토시살 Beef hanger steak, 갈비 Ribs, 갈매기살 Seagull meat (a cut between pork rib and pork belly) and 삼겹살 pork belly. It is so delicious. Thanks to our friend, we get to enjoy a good Korean barbeque meal at our first visit to Ilsan.
After dinner, we go for round two at an Izakaya named Tokuri 도쿠리 nearby. The gentlemen continue the talks with drinks with sake and some assorted chicken skewers + a oden-guk. Besides the chicken skewers, I quite like the bacon enoki mushroom roll and grilled garlic. Since I don't drink, I get myself iced caffe latte at a nearby franchise cafe - Coffeebanhada 커피에 반하다 before we starts round two. Here I started to discover that low cost coffee chain has become a new trend in Korea nowadays. I will share more later of my few visits of other low cost coffee chain in other post later.
