Tuna Heaven
This tuna sashimi meal I had in Seoul has to go down as the best meal I had there - and it was for a steal at 38,000 won, which works out to about SGD45. It's all thanks to my Korean friend, J, who brought me to this small sashimi place. Great to know local foodies, ya know? Unfortunately the name card is in Korean so I can't translate the address. The nearest subway station to this tuna sashimi place is Jamsil which is along Line 2 and 8, south of the Han River. Anyway, here's the spread that brought me to tuna heaven. I still dream of it. *sigh*
The chef at work
A small bowl of porridge that was really tasty and smooth
Don't ask me what cut of the tuna this came from - I lost track after awhile. But the tuna sashimi slices were served on a bed of radish, accompanied by some preserved ginger, preserved onions and fresh watercress.
A side plate of salad was included in the meal
Oops...forgot what this was! I only remember it tasted good!
Chives with bean paste
A bowl of miso soup
More tuna
And more!
Tuna sushi
The fatty bits!!!
