There are mythical stories about the base. Some of my Korean friends talk about it with eyes wide in revelry- as if they were talking about better days. Let me summarize what they have said, "Beyond the walls there is so much space- and green. The trees are tall and there are acres of green grass-even the air is fresher beyond the walls. And the food- there are limes and bushels of basil and fistfuls of meat. And there is parking! Lots of parking and the driving is calm and tranquil. You don't feel like you are in Korea when you are beyond those walls." Does it live up the hype? Yes.
There was food here that I would have to travel 18 hours on a plane to get- and I would, because sometimes you just need a slow smoked brisket or pulled pork that has been cooked for 24 hours. And did I mention the Microbrew? They've got crisp amber on that has bones to it- not the watered down sweet swill you often find here.
Thank you Mr. Fagan and Mr. Mitchell for inviting me.

That was actually deep fried cheesecake, but I won't tell anyone if you won't.
ReplyDeleteOh, yeah. I'll fix it. It was damn good, right?
ReplyDeleteThe Mexican dessert with the strawberries is Sopapillas! Everytime I go to Oasis I always get that for dessert because it's so delicious ^^ I love that they have a never-ending bowl of nacho chips, plus the salsa is tasty (I'm one of those people who gets hooked to a Mexican restaurant if there are free nacho chips with equally delicious salsa).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can go onbase so it's amazing to read these Korean food blogs (like seouleats and ZenKimchi) and read about how foreigners who don't have access to what's onbase survive and enjoy foreign/non-Korean food.
I'm glad your time at Dragon Hill Lodge went wonderfully :)
Oooh, that was nice of Dragon to invite you :)
ReplyDeleteIt's funny how some people perceive the base, but then again, I can see where they are coming from. :) Though I hadn't thought about the whole parking thing until now, LOL.
The Mexican dessert is a form of Buñuelo. There are round doughnut forms, as well as the flatter, fried-tortilla like variety that you have pictured. And taco shells, for the record, are not real Mexican food. That's 100% American ^^ But Dragon Hill Lodge is indeed AMAZING.
