KBBQ... finally!

This past week has been incredibly exhausting.  Our training for our school was surprisingly grueling, but in the end it was really helpful.  There were four wonderful people in our group and thankfully, we all passed training!  We wanted to all go out and celebrate, but everyone was shipped out to their new locations in South Korea.  So Daniel and I decided to finally walk around and celebrate.  Daniel was craving pho, so we walked around and found this place, which made me giggle:

So we walked towards it, but then we noticed that the place underneath was a BBQ place.  Back at home, KBBQ places are typically all-you-can-eat and relatively inexpensive... but here, meat is really pricey so there are no AYCE eateries and it is definitely pricey in comparison to in the US.  But, we were celebrating so we decided to check it out!  The interior was beautiful and clean (a bit different than home) and the ventilation was great (you could pull down the vent closer to your food).

We ordered one plate of chadol (beef brisket) and one plate of samgyeopsal (pork belly.. it's like big bacon).  Next time we could probably order three plates of just samgyeopsal because the chadol was mainly fat and seemed to disappear on the grill.  :(  But the pork?  Mmm...

 
Let's just say that I'm a sucker for samgyeopsal + grilled kimchi.  That combination makes my mouth water every time.  It was definitely the first time I left a KBBQ place and still felt like I could eat more, but I've been wanting to eat BBQ since we arrived.  It definitely hit the spot, especially after such a long week.  :)
