Fruit Forest is a fresh-fruit dessert café in Paju, Gyeonggi. I tried its peach bingsu topped generously with seasonal peaches, where sweet, soft fruit and icy shaved dessert came together so nicely. Fruit Forest is a refreshing choice for a fruit dessert near Simhaksan.
Gyudongjip Ajou University Branch is a Japanese rice bowl restaurant near Ajou University in Suwon, Gyeonggi.

Grand Hanwoo Gimpo Main Branch is a Korean beef restaurant in Gimpo, Gyeonggi. We tried its 10th-anniversary set with sirloin, salchisal, and anchangsal, while the staff handled the grilling. A satisfying choice for a relaxed Korean beef meal without cooking it yourself.
DARIMATI is a running and CrossFit shoe pop-up at Hyundai Department Store Pangyo in Seongnam, Gyeonggi. The DARIMATI BR-001 felt light and secure during fittings, and visitors could try a 30-second rowing-machine race challenge. Verdict: a fun stop for couples who work out together.

Verdict: a neat, filling stop while shopping, especially for the gukbap.
Min Nakji Ansan Seongpo Main Branch is a seafood restaurant in Seongpo-dong, Ansan, serving live octopus and monkfish on a griddle. We had the ₩48,000 two-person octopus-and-monkfish griddle for a dinner date, with fluffy steamed egg and rice mixed into the leftover sauce. Verdict: a generous, pleasantly spicy dinner worth sharing.
Myeongimong is a Korean restaurant near Pocheon Art Valley in Pocheon, Gyeonggi. We shared mul makguksu with our 28-month-old twins and appreciated the roomy tables and children’s utensils. A great lunch stop for a family outing in Pocheon.
