♩♫♪It's Friday, it's Friday, it's Friday ♩♬♪....
Who doesn't look forward to a Friday... I sure do!
I love that S.' all ours for the weekend. He helps out sooooo much... ♥ Having him around makes my weekends feel like I'm on vacation. : )
So, the day we went to Farmland (you could see the post here), we had lunch in another great traditional restaurant just outside Seoul.
❊❊❊ Because the post is big, the images come out small on the post. If you want to see them better, click on them and they open up on a new window as a slide show.
This Restaurant is called Mabang, or Mabang Jib... not 100% on this, the website HERE, is in Korean. It's located in Hanam, just outside Seoul... about a 40 minute drive on a Sunday with no traffic.
On our drive, through the suburbs east of Seoul.

At the entrance a big sign welcomes you... I'm guessing it says something like "Mabang Restaurant"... maybe "Welcome"!
I like guessing... If I get it right, I can pretend I'm learning Korean. If I get it wrong... hey... I don't know Korean! : )

As I walked it, I had a "Time Slip Dr. Jin" moment... It's almost as being transported back in time.

The waiters greet you at the entrance and walk you to the area where you will eat.

It's divided into individual dining rooms...each party getting their own.

While S. went to get ours, I wandered a bit to take pictures.

All the way in the back, they have the Kimchi pots...

I loved the traditional feel.

Like at most restaurants in Korea, you take your shoes off...

You could also have the option of eating outside...
We got a small room on the inside part. Since we have the baby, I'd rather be in a closed area so I could let her crawl around. : )

We got beef bulgogi and doengjang jjigae. As usual in Korean restaurants you get your good amount of little side dishes.... they are called banchan or panch'an.

At the end of the course they give you nurungji.
If you are from PR, you will know what this is. It's basically pegao'... Here, they have it as a snack while on the crunchy state, or as a after meal rice tea adding hot water.
As it turned out, this place was not far at all, we drove and ate in a matter of two hours. We were done so early, (it wasn't even noon) that we just decided to get creative and picked randomly what to do after.
That's how we ended up in Farmland.
Another great meal, another great experience & another great day!
xoxo,
T.
