-Oksu, Seoul-

with Lisa, Dominic and Becca

In Korean-Chinese restaurants, certain dishes generally served party-sized on large platters may be offered in smaller, individual portions over rice ("bap") (see for example 4.055 Japtang Bap).  Personally, I don't like the rice that much, but the rice plate option allows me to get a little taste without paying through the roof for the whole thing: 30,000 won vs. 10,000 won.

Here, it was yusanseul over rice (see generally 1.186 Yusanseul).  As with everything from Toayen, our go-to neighborhood Chinese delivery joint, the food was reliably mediocre.

The Trinity (see 3.164 The Trinity)

For Number One Fan Lisa's final night in town, we stayed in, as we had on her first evening here (see 4.101 Palbochae).  Earlier, we'd taken the kids to Children's Grand Park, a free amusement park cum zoo.  Afterwards, we were all a bit too tired to go anywhere, so we just went back to Oksu.  We stopped along the way at my favorite food cart to get some goodies.  We also ordered a couple items from Toayen.  It was a nice/quiet/relaxing way to end the trip.  However, I was sad that we failed once again to go anywhere for really good food.  Maybe next time.  

As with his daddy and her mommy, Dominic acts the fool while Becca plays it cool.
