Hwanggeum Seafood Nurungji-tang is a Korean restaurant at 160 Bijeon 4-ro in Pyeongtaek, Gyeonggi, specializing in seafood nurungji-tang (scorched-rice soup) poured over a hot stone pot at the table. The writer ordered the Abalone King Nurungji-tang at 26,000 won per person and the Jirisan Black Pork Sticky-Rice Tangsuyuk at 24,000 won, and liked the contrast between the soft nurungji and the chewy sweet-and-sour pork.

Notten is a brunch café newly opened on the Dongpyeon-maeul café street in Anyang, Gyeonggi. Visiting with my mother, we ordered the seasonal campagne French toast, a sour-forward americano made with Momos Coffee beans, and a fig ade topped with half a fresh fig; Notten's handmade campagne uses 100% Korean wheat mixed with sweet pumpkin for a nutty, clean taste. The owner serves and clears the tables in person, and Notten felt like a café worth becoming a regular at.
