Ankimo bomb salt gimbap at a Samgakji bar for dates: Hatpiendo
Hatpiendo is a casual izakaya on the second floor of a building at the start of Yongridan-gil in Yongsan, Seoul, one to two minutes on foot from Samgakji Station Exit 3. Seated side by side at Hatpiendo's bar table, we ordered the ankimo (monkfish liver) bomb salt gimbap and the abalone innard pasta with Kirin draft beer and a Suntory highball, and the ankimo portion was so generous that the two of us were already full from that one dish. Hatpiendo suits a Samgakji date built around a drink and an unusual anju (drinking snack).
