Jongno 3-ga shabu-shabu mandu hot pot, no weekend wait: Jongga Mandu

Jongga Mandu (종가만두) is a handmade dumpling hot pot restaurant on the ground floor of 88 Supyo-ro in Jongno, Seoul, near Jongno 3-ga Station. On a weekend evening we walked into Jongga Mandu with no wait, had the clear-broth shabu-shabu dumpling hot pot with packed kimchi and meat dumplings, and finished with kalguksu (knife-cut noodles), and the broth was mild and clean rather than heavy. For a light but filling dumpling hot pot in Jongno 3-ga, Jongga Mandu is a good fit.

Sinjungdong Station lash perm, natural curler look: ReBloom Beauty

ReBloom Beauty Bucheon Main Branch is a lash perm salon on the 11th floor of an office building, a 1-minute walk from Sinjungdong Station in Bucheon, Gyeonggi. The writer, who gets lash perms regularly, asked for a natural curl that looks like a lash curler instead of a sharply lifted one. The keratin ampoule perm was done in under an hour with no eye stinging. If you want a natural curl that brightens the eyes without looking overdone, exactly as discussed in the consultation, ReBloom Beauty Bucheon Main Branch is a good fit.
