Visit Seoul: Miseongok

We ended up stumbling upon another restaurant in Seoul, Miseongok, that basically offers no menu and specializes in just two dishes - Seolleongtang (Ox Bone Soup) and Suyuk (Boiled Meat).

It took us a while to find the restaurant, which was hidden at the end of an alley, but once we found it, we were seated and presented with a huge container of kim chee.

Amongst the family, some of us ordered the Suyuk, whereas others ordered the Seolleongtang.

The soup was comforting, and the meat tender. 

The Suyuk consisted of various types of meats, including tongue and other animal parts that I couldn't identify, but the kids ate them up (I didn't tell them what it was until later, because I actually didn't know myself!).  

It's another "go where the locals go" eatery - definitely a must-try!

Visit Seoul: Sulbing Cafe

I was so excited to visit Sulbing Cafe to satisfy my craving for bingsu!  This South Korean dessert chain launched in 2013, and has since expanded to other countries, featuring their ultra soft "snowflakes" in their desserts.

We went to the multilevel Sulbing Cafe in Myeongdong.

King Mango Snowflakes

Chocolate Brownie Snowflakes

Mint Chocolate Snowflakes

OREO Chocolate Monster Snowflakes

Each serving of bingsu is gigantic - meant to be shared, but we each got our own, because why not?  Talk about some delectable treats with brownies, OREOs, chocolate sauce and more.  

Each bingsu comes with a packet of condensed milk that you can drizzle on to your liking.

I had the King Mango Snowflakes, and it was amazing.  The "snowflakes" were super fine and melt-in-your mouth soft, and the toppings were so refreshing!  I loved the mango, the mango ice cream, and even the slice of cheesecake.

It was a fabulous dessert (of course I could not finish it), and definitely a highlight of our trip to Korea.
