Korean buffet dinner at 7:30pm with yuzu soy fritters, Suwon: Boriook
Boriook Main Branch is a Korean buffet restaurant behind Mangpo Station in Yeongtong, Suwon, with its own parking. A couple arrived at 7:30pm on a weekday and ordered the grilled mackerel set for 15,000 won and the grilled gochujang pork set for 16,000 won, going back four times for namul, acorn jelly, japchae, spicy braised tofu and vegetable fritters with yuzu soy sauce. The mackerel tasted slightly fishy, but the smoky grilled pork, a doenjang jjigae (soybean paste stew) close to cheonggukjang and the friendly service made Boriook worth a return trip.
