Rainy-day jokbal and cheese potato pancake in Myeongdong: Miss Jokbal

Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch is a jokbal (braised pig's trotters) restaurant on Myeongdong 3-gil in Myeongdong, Seoul, close to Euljiro 1-ga Station. The writer, who worked in Myeongdong for 3 to 4 years, returned to Miss Jokbal on a rainy day and ordered Emperor Jokbal, steamed egg, rice balls and cheese potato pancake. The free kimchi jjigae kalguksu, crispy potato pancake and chewy jokbal impressed twice: first when served, then again when tasted. Miss Jokbal Seoul Myeongdong Branch is worth a return visit for a filling dinner in Myeongdong.

Nowon sushi buffet for a mixed-generation family of 5: Kuu Kuu

Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch (쿠우쿠우 노원점) is a sushi buffet on the 6th floor of 247 Nowon-ro in Nowon, Seoul. A family of 5, spanning parents to kids, picked sushi, barbecue zone dishes, noodles, dessert and coffee to their own tastes and wrapped up the whole gathering at Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch. Verdict: Kuu Kuu Nowon Branch is worth shortlisting for a Nowon family gathering or a large group dinner where no single menu pleases everyone.
