Din tai fung. Taiwanese dim sum, Myong-dong
Every time i am in Meyong-dong i end up eating lunch at the same 3 places. Now i am really happy to have found another one. Din tai fung is a chain of dim sum restaurants from Taiwan. The main focus of the restaurants is the dumplings, and the best one is of course the soup dumpling or Xiao long bao. A dumpling filled with pork and pork jelly and when the dumpling is steamed the jelly melts into a soup, hence soup dumpling. We had a double order of soup dumplings, pork and shrimp dumpling and a spicy pork and vegetable wonton. Everything was really really good, not as good as Yauatcha in London or the soup dumplings at Joe´s Shanghai in New York. But by far the best dim sum i have had in Korea so far.

Shabu-Shabu, Gangnam station
My wife took me to this Shabu-Shabu place close to Gangnam station. If you don´t know it´s there you will miss it. They do 2 kinds of Shabu-Shabu, one non-spicy and one spicy, we had the non-spicy version.
The food was great the stock was flavorful and rich but it lacked salt. The dipping sauces was really nice a sesame sauce that almost tasted like peanut and a tangy vinegar and black pepper sauce. The whole idea with Shabu-Shabu is that you get the stock boiling, add some vegetables and lower the heat. When it is simmering you add a little of the meat and cock it for a few seconds before you dip it in the sauce.
We got a lot of vegetables and a lot of meat, we even got extra when we finished the first serving.
When all themeat and vegetables are finished the custom is that you get some rice or noodles and mix it with the rest of the broth. We were to full to do that but next time i certinly will.
