Food Diary. Geumryong

A few days ago, I went to Geumryong at Walkerhill for a weekday lunch.

I didn’t take a photo of the menu, so I brought a menu photo from the internet.

There were two of us, so we ordered the Geumsangcheomhwa course, and for the four main dishes we chose lyusansu, mala sea cucumber and abalone, chili shrimp, and Sichuan-style tenderloin.

For the meals, we got one giseu-myeon and one jjajangmyeon.

The shrimp in the lyusansu was plump and in good condition, and the mala sea cucumber and abalone were tastier than I expected. The chili shrimp and Sichuan-style tenderloin were pretty ordinary?

For dessert, they served fruit along with something like a Taiwanese cookie? The staff gave a long explanation, but I forgot the rest... It was sweeter than I expected, and the texture was nicely crisp.

The Light Theater's "From Vermeer to Gogh" + Lee Ungno exhibition was running until this April, so I went to see it while digesting.

The screening time seemed to be about 40 to 50 minutes, and even if you didn’t go in exactly when the video started, it wouldn’t really interfere with your viewing. I was a little surprised that Lee Ungno’s video segment was longer than I expected.

After leaving the Light Theater, I went to the connected Light Lounge, had a drink, and came back after watching the water.

It was tasty enough, the weather was decent, and it was a pleasantly enjoyable day.

An extra note..

When I went earlier this year, there was a New Year’s course set, and I remember the composition and price being pretty good... But I guess it was only offered in January. What a shameㅠ

This was the course I ordered when I went for a weekend lunch with two friends last year. As I get older, my memory keeps getting worse, so even when I look at the photos, I can’t remember what course I ate. The one thing I do remember here is that people said Geumryong is famous for tangsuyuk, so we ordered it... but it was incredibly hard and dry. I don’t know whether it was a problem because we ordered beef instead of pork, whether the meat quality was off that day, whether it was only our table, or whether the three of us just had strangely bad taste buds... I’m not sure what the problem was. Anyway, we ended up eating less than a quarter of the tangsuyuk that day, and after that, I don’t think I ordered tangsuyuk at Geumryong again. I should try it one last time next time.
