We placed our orders and patiently waited in the car until we got the green light.
I love a menu that's short and sharp. Just four items - abalone porridge, abalone stone pot rice, grilled abalones and sliced raw abalones, all considered signature dishes at Myeongjin Jeonbok.
First, a complimentary grilled mackerel to start things off. This was okay but the seasoning (with soy) was a little on the salty side.
It didn't take long for all the signature dishes to arrive.
Abalone porridge (12,000 won) - The first signature dish to arrive was abalone porridge with thin slices of abalone on top.
The porridge was reasonably rich in flavor but not as rich as I first hoped.
Grilled abalones (30,000 won) - The most expensive dish from the menu but the one most worthy of the hype and heavy price tag in my opinion.
I love the slightly chewy texture and the smoky flavors (from the grill) that came with it.
Abalone stone pot rice (15,000 won) - The rice was really bland and I didn't bother with the sliced abalone on top because I didn't think it would top the grilled abalone.
Just when we were finishing up our abalone feast, we saw this from the window - rainbow emerging on the horizon. Such a gorgeous sight!
Perhaps, it's a sign that we are finally getting some much-deserved sunshine tomorrow after a run of heavy rain. Let's pray that's the case.
