Korean Fishery Market
Brought my parents to Kang Seo Fishery Market (cuz Noryangjin is apparently under construction) and they seemed super fascinated haha.
Do you know that cuttlefish can swim backwards?? Damn cool.
So korean fishery market concept is buy your live seafood from the market, then bring it up on your own to the eateries upstairs and tell them how u want to cook it.
We bought prawns, clams, octopus and small fishes and asked for them to be grilled since Mum Dad doesnt eat raw stuffs.
There was a pancake station in the eatery we went where we can make our own kimchi pancake!
So YUM, I went back to make a 2nd one!

Dad's Birthday in Seoul
We went to this modern Korean restaurant which literally translates to Kkot Dam House (kkot = flowers, dam = wall).
Dad loves the place, walked around admiring the art pieces on the wall and the garden.
Its a x-course (I cant remember how many courses) meal at KRW35,000/pax (~SGD42/pax).
Starters: Korean salad and hot porridge. Mum Dad didnt like the porridge cuz it "tastes weird", I didnt like it cuz its bland.
Acorn jelly was very refreshing and light, very interesting dish since we dont have acorn jelly in Singapore. Smoked salmon was okay, but personally I prefer traditional salmon sashimi.
Fried acorn pancake thats crispy and yum, and some preserved veggie korean style that I dont like.
Main dish #1: Beef hamburger which really tastes soso only.
Main dish #2: Chilli prawns for non-beef eaters, I think Singapore style chilli prawns are way better.
Mushroom dumplings, too mushroomy.
Assorted korean pancakes, from left: Rice cake pancake, kimchi pancake, fried zucchini, fried fish. I like left 2 most.
I missed out on afew dishes: Flour dumplings in soy bean broth, and sweet citron tea served at the end of the meal.
Strawberry cake for Dad, Korean style. Hope Dad enjoyed his 57th birthday which is a little bit different~~
