Il Cipriani at Hyundai Department Store Trade Center (Seoul, SOUTH KOREA) ★★★☆☆

I promised myself there won't be any more Korean food on this trip so we are pretty much stuck with western food from now on. Perched on the 10th floor of Hyundai Department Store Trade Center, Il Cipriani is an Italian restaurant that offers an authentic Italian dining experience. Most importantly, they don't use MSG or anything artificial; just the freshest ingredients from the market.


We had experienced a lot of different cuisine on this trip but no Italian food yet. 


We're both having the set and Jelloman started off on a healthy note with a small salad first.


I opted for the potato soup instead. Not bad.


Squid-ink spaghetti with prawns, squid and zucchini. This was a little more soupy than I thought. 


The safer bet was of course the seafood spaghetti Marinara. But I probably prefer my spaghetti to be more undercooked.


We both couldn't stand the food served on the plane so we got something extra for ourselves - a rubbery sirloin steak. I think it just messed up an otherwise decent meal for us.


Folks, it's a wrap. We have learned a lot more about Seoul on this 5-day adventure. Hopefully, we can do this again next year.
