Man oh man, it has been a busy week. Our company is finishing up our
move to our new fifty person studio in Insadong after a month of
reconstruction. I will post pictures of the place soon.
I am in love with the area, because I am right down the street from
Changdeokgung. After working all day my staff and I had dinner at BBQ
Bossam right down the street. This place specializes in slowly roasted
pork belly. It was so good.
After dinner, I took a walk into the hanok village (Korean traditional
Houses) and I found a wonderful raspberry shaved ice cafe. It is was
very simple: shaved ice, raspberries, and raspberry juice- red beans
on the side. It also came with a piece of corn! The cafe, Margot, was
attached to a Buddhist monastery and they were kind enough to give me
a tour if their facilities.
I wondered a bit longer into alleys near Insadong and I was surprises
to find a new tent restaurant mall. This place had like 20 small snack
vendors in a newly constructed and well lit strip. I will have to go
back.
Down this little alley, I also stumbled upon a smoked meats
restaurant. They were smoking duck, pork belly, and chicken. I will
have to return to this place for dinner.

I have a general question about directions. Is there a web site where I can enter the address in English (as above) and get directions or a location on a map? I know I need to improve my Korean, but in the interim, I was wondering if there are any options? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteBeing new to Korea, I am interested in a web site where I can find these addresses. I can't read Hangul so if I can write it as you wrote it above that would be preferable. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteBeing relatively new to Korea, is there a web site where I can enter the address as it is listed above (unfortunately, I can't read Hangul) that will give me directions. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWe've walked past that duck place a million times and keep meaning to stop... There's also a fried oyster and makgeolli place on a connected alleyway that we enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHi Dan,
ReplyDeleteWould it be possible for me to ask for the direction to all 3 places that you mentioned?
Also, does any of the 3 places that you mention come in a different name? As in, the name in front of each place is exactly what you had in your blog (Margot Cafe, Barbecue Bossam, and Done Zone)?
Thanks so much.
