Thanon55 is a Thai restaurant on the second floor of a building in the alley behind the Musinsa Megastore in Seongsu, Seoul. The ₩14,000 set of Thai rice noodle soup and khao pad (Thai fried rice), plus the recommended shrimp pad thai, came to under ₩30,000. The Thanon55 noodle soup comes with fried meat and shrimp in a broth that is rich yet clean. For a good-value lunch near Seongsu Station, Thanon55 is well worth a visit.
Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch is a baguette sandwich shop on the first floor of The Sharp Park in Jamsil, Songpa, Seoul. The writer ordered the basil jambon-beurre and the grilled chicken banh mi, both built on a crisp-crusted, soft-centred baguette with carrot rapee, and the shop covers parking when you order a sandwich. At around 8,000 won each and filling enough for a full meal, Town Sandwich Jamsil Branch is an easy value lunch in Jamsil.
