Korean restaurant in Seongseo, Daegu with private rooms: Sin Yeongung

Sin Yeongung Cheonggukjang Haemulttukbaegi Seongseo Moda Outlet branch is a Korean restaurant on Seongseogongdan-ro in Dalseo-gu, Daegu, specialising in cheonggukjang (fermented soybean paste) seafood hot pots. On a weekend evening with their parents, the writer ordered the haemuljjim (spicy steamed seafood) group menu and the signature live abalone cheonggukjang seafood hot pot, and sat in a space divided by table partitions and half-wall rooms that kept the family meal quiet. The seafood was generous and the seasoning was not overly spicy, making Sin Yeongung an easy recommendation for a meal with parents.

Bakery near Changdeokgung for bench-side garlic baguette: Munhwa

Munhwa Bakery is a bakery with a tiled hanok roof in Ikseon-dong, near Jongno 3-ga Station in Seoul. After a walk through Changdeokgung Palace, the writer took away a garlic baguette and mugwort rice cake bread from Munhwa Bakery, opening the baguette on a bench nearby and saving the mugwort bread for whiskey at home. The garlic baguette, with sauce soaked all the way through, was the best garlic bread the writer has ever eaten.
