Monk fish stew (Masan Agu-Jjim) - Yeouido Lotte castle

Have you ever seen what monkfish looks like?  They are not the most desirable of their species, but I might be wrong because to each their own, however, provided they look the way they do, they deliver much pleasure to the palette when sacrificed for human consumption. 

Koreans like to eat monk fish in stews, spicy or nonspicy.  This restaurant delivers a fair plate of monkfish stew for the nonspicy eaters. You can get this dish for 50,000won(smallest size) called "agu suyook."

Fried rice is served afterwards.  Come for yourself to discover monk fish korean style and without all the spice that sometimes hinders the genuine taste. 

Here are some info provided below.  You can search it in naver maps for more details.   It is located in Lotte castle (b1) in Yeouido.

Youido park

One hot summer day, we took a sweaty stroll in youido park!

Other than being sweltering hot that particular day, I remember how lush and green the park was.  It was a nice but rather short break from the hustle and bustle of the city.

Jubilee Chocolatier Cafe (Youido station)

We are in IFC mall at the moment. Hubs is getting his shoulder massage next door while i wait here at Jubilee cafe. It's a chocolatier cafe with chocolate, cake, coffee and chocolate drinks.

Late lunch at IFC mall

It's past 4 on a Saturday amd we haven't had lunch, so hubby and I hauled to IFC Mall to grab some grubs.

The food court here is amazing! They have variety of foods from Indian, Chinese, pizza, burgers, Korean, Thai and Japanese. It's pretty exciting to see all the variety and looks restaurant quality!

However, we weren't completely hungry enough for a whole meal, so we opted for some fresh salad(salmon for me, shrimp and mango for him), bread and cheese.

Yummmm~~~

IFC mall in Youido

Last weekend was the opening of IFC mall in Youido.

To put it simply, I like it lots! Location is perfect for us. And did I say, eateries galore?!!! I'm very excited and happy with the mall!  There are plenty of retail stores for the shopaholics and plenty more interesting eateries for foodies :D  It's a nice mix of both ends.  Obviously, I'm more excited about the eating part~
