Dongin Dong's Famous Pork Pancakes and Galbijjim

Across from Club Mool (Korea's most famous nightclub for older men and women), you'll find Dongin Dong. They serve Daegu (Southeastern part of Korea) style food that is spicy, filling, and flavorful. Since Daegu is my hometown, I felt right at home.  You can find it if you go out Sinsa Station exit 6. and make a right just before the Beans Bin Coffee.

Santa's hot helper. She's standing next to a lifesized gingerbread house made with real gingerbread. They didn't use icing though for cement- that would have been too much.

Summertime Specialty: Cold Acorn Noodle Soup
