If you go to Korea for a short visit and you want to taste authentic Korean cuisine without taking any risk, you can try this “Milky Way” restaurant. The restaurant is called “Eunhasu” in Korean (which means milky way) and I think it is the best place to taste a collection of authentic Korean food. They have over 100 different Korean dishes and of course I didn’t get to try even half of them. Their menus change from time to time as seasons change or if there is a special Korean holiday or something.
The pictures below are what I had. All the food was professionally prepared and cooked. No effort was spared!
(Japchae, Bulgogi, Shrimp and mushrooms in starch sauce )
(Mild energy boosting abalone porridge – Jeonbok Juk)
My top pick is by far LA Galbi! Charcoal grilled Galbi cooked at the right temperature for just the right time was marvelous. I reckon that was the best Galbi I have ever had in my life.
(Tender and mouth melting Galbi, Nutritious glutinous rice in bamboo, and Salmon)
I would love to eat more LA Galbi but I could feel my tummy was getting full. So I moved on to the next dish.
(Kimbap, Cucumber pickles and Sushi)
(Korean traditional snacks)
(Persimmon punch – Sujeonggwa)
I didn’t like the Korean traditional snacks and persimmon punch much, because it was a bit bitter. On the other hand, I thought what they served us might be more authentic and healthier than what I used to buy from the shops.
(Frozen soft persimmon – A popular dessert since 2005 in Korea)
(Non Korean menu – Haagen dazs ice cream : Vanila, Chocolate, and Green tea flavour)

I am excited to get to know Seoul’s gastronomic scene. Just actually interviewed one of Korean’s most iconic Chefs, Chef Corey Lee. You can see the interview here: http://aromes.xanga.com/723202377/interview-with-chef-corey-lee-three-michelin-star–ex-chef–the-french-laundry-napa-valley
I actually asked him a bit about the situation about upscale fine dining overthere in Seoul and he responded that it was on the right track. My question: What would you consider as the very top best finest dining restaurants of Seoul, one that would easily pick a 1 or 2 Michelin Star? It doesn’t matter the type of food (could be Oriental, Occidental) as long as it’s upscale.
waaa the traditional snacks look so yummY!
I love green tea ice cream.
All those dishes are so nice… I like porridge!
Ciao.
