Kkanpung shrimp at an Apgujeong Chinese restaurant: Mirim Yangjang
Mirim Yangjang Apgujeong is a basement Chinese restaurant and bar a short walk from Exit 5 of Apgujeong Rodeo Station in Gangnam, Seoul. The writer came with her mother and ordered half a Peking duck (39,000 won) and kkanpung shrimp (18,000 won): the duck skin was rendered lean and clean-tasting, and the shrimp stayed crisp, with neither dish heavily seasoned. With private rooms, a kid's chair and valet parking, Mirim Yangjang Apgujeong suits a dinner with parents or a date in Apgujeong.
