Bocado Butter Seongsu Main Store is a bite-size bocado dessert café on Yeonmujang 7ga-gil in Seongsu-dong, Seoul. After eating a full meal nearby, the writer went in for coffee and a bocado butter set with an added butter cream, finding the cream nutty rather than sweet and a great match for the crisp bocado. The leftovers went home to the kids, who loved them so much a whole box is planned for next time.
Shabu in Seoul Seongsu is a Hanwoo shabu-shabu (Korean hot pot) restaurant on the 1st floor of the Yuwon Industrial Center near Seongsu Station in Seoul. Treating a friend to a proper meal, the writer ordered the 1++ Hanwoo boseopsal (top blade cut) shabu set with spicy mushroom broth and finished with a rosé risotto cooked tableside with shrimp and mushrooms, remembering the meat quality and the three dipping sauces most. It's a solid pick for anyone in Seongsu wanting to treat someone special to a real meal.
