The Misadventures Down Under: Dae Jang Geum?

Had a productive afternoon in the library eating lecture notes. :)

Dad decided that I was malnourished and underfed ever since I came over to Melbourne actually I gained weight and that is not only because the gravitational field here is stronger... so took me out for dinner at Dae Jang Geum, a Korean restaurant in Chinatown. Had gotten lots of positive feedback from friends about the food there, and always wanted to try. But there was no menu on display outside the restaurant so I could never view the price and never had any courage to walk in... ._____________________.




 I like the wallpaper ^_^

 We ordered japchae (glass noodles) , dolsotbab (direct translation: claypot rice?) and pajeon (pancake)




 The rice came with some side dishes.



Sorry for the crappy photos but other people tend to look at you one kind once you whip out your phone camera etc... Or maybe it's just me being paranoid ever since I saw some stalker take photos of people photographing food... (Must... Get... Over... Paranoia...)

Oh well. The food was good, service was good, and price was much more reasonable than expected. Japchae was chewy and umami! Yes, umami is a taste, referring to pleasant savoury taste, I learnt in physiology :) Saved me from a recent memory where the japchae I had was really peppery :/ Pancake and rice were, OK. I think... They could do better with slightly more seafood in the pancake. And now I know where to go when my naengmyun cravings hit ^____^ Was surprised that they sell naengmyun here at the cheapest price among all restaurants I've surveyed...

I'm full ^___^ *Hic!* And I'm going back someday.
