Obviously, we aren't satisfied with just meeting our initial target of one Korean barbecue per trip so after getting our Korean BBQ fixed last night at Hwaroyeon (火爐妍), we are going for our second in a roll tonight.
Daedo Sikdang is the granddaddy of Korean barbecue houses in Seoul, famous for their prized Hanwoo beef. This branch they have in Samseong is just a stone's throw from Seolleung and Jeongneung Royal Tombs and about 10-15 minute walk from our hotel.
Unfortunately, the staff here didn't speak any English. One of our servers tried to talk to us in Mandarin and that was how we managed to order.
When it comes to barbecued meat, I would much prefer them to be charcoal grilled but unfortunately, Daedo Sikdang only offers one option - pan-fried.
And they serve only one cut of meat (sirloin) with cabbage. Can't get any simpler than that. Comparing to the premium cuts from Japan, these were more on the hard side and unsurprisingly, far less marbled.
That was a lot of meat for just two people. Following the meal, we decided to walk around Samseong-dong figuring we were way too full to go to bed early.
That's about all the barbecued meat I could take from one single trip. Thankfully, we have much lighter meals lined up in the next 2 days.
