One of the better club lounges I have experienced: Club Lounge @ THE PLAZA Seoul, Autograph Collection (15. December 2023)
The Club Lounge in The Plaza Seoul is definitely worth visiting. If you have a status within Marriott, which allows you to visit the lounge, you should take advantage of this. The selection of dishes is quite good and definitely better than in any average lounge, ranging from soup to naan bread … … to […]
A nice, but not entirely convincing lunch experience at No. 28 of The World’s 50 Best Asia: Restaurant Mingles (15. December 2023)
Mingles is listed on The World’s 50 Best Asia restaurants, so I figured to try this as well. The “Signature Lunch” (280’000 KRW) comes in a bit cheaper than at the Mosu, but I suppose this is due to the fact that the Mingles has ‘just’ two stars instead of three. The lunch started with […]
A delicious experience at No. 15 of The World’s 50 Best Asia 2023: Restaurant Mosu (14. December 2023)
Given the Mosu is on the 50 Best of the World Asia list, I had to give it a try. Frankly, the prices are definitely on the more expensive side of things with the “Tasting Menu” accounting for 370’000 KRW and the full “Wine Pairing” for 250’000 KRW. Hence, I was a bit skeptical if […]
Traditional North Korean dumplings served in South Korea: Restaurant Gaeseong Mandu Koong (Traditional Dumpling House) (14. December 2023)
Usually, I don’t really follow the advice of the tour guides from walking tours since it’s very often driven by price only, but this time, and due to the fact that the place is also listed as a Bib Gourmand place in the Guide Michelin app, I decided to give this place a try! Apparently, […]
An exquisite breakfast offering for a hotel restaurant: Restaurant The Seven Square @ The PLAZA Seoul, Autograph Collection (14. December 2023)
The breakfast selection in The Plaza Seoul is actually quite amazing. You find kind of everything you want and need, ranging from bakery products like breads … … to various cereals … … to juices … … even your noodle soup station is there for the morning (loved it!) … … as well as some […]
Delicious Korean BBQ, but a rather expensive version of it: Restaurant Keum Nyeung Korean BBQ (13. December 2023)
Since it was the first evening in Seoul, it was time to try some typical local food and the Korean BBQ was definitely the right thing to try. To get started, I went for the “spicy buckwheat noodles (Korean traditional noodles mixed with minced beef and red pepper sauce) (a little bit spicy)” (10’000 KRW), […]
