I got together with some of my cousins (all on my mom's side) for a museum and dinner outing after work yesterday.
We met up in the Hongdae area and went to Santorini Seoul, a trick-eye museum. Trick-eye (Trompe l'oeil) museums are a way for visitors to interact and become part of the art themselves. It was much much more fun visiting the Santorini Seoul with a group of people rather than by myself because we were able to take wacky pictures. (All the paintings are 2D)
Side note: Anything Greek-related in Korea always includes "Santorini" in the name. i.e., greek restaurant (Santorinis), greek yogurt (santorini yogurt), gyro (santorini sandwich), etc.
For dinner, I had one of my best meals in Seoul: Pork Curry Tonkatsu. A scoop of rice, spicy pork curry, and tonkatsu (weiner schnitzel Japanese-style), topped with cheese and shaved garlic chips. So heavenly and perfect post-hangover food. Afterwards, we got some craft ice-cream, so I was able to indulge in a scoop of gorgonzola honey and a scoop of bacon cinnamon ice cream. I think they are my new favorite flavors, and it makes me long for my ice cream maker at home. Yeah, it wasn't a vegetarian-Muslim friendly meal at all but it was oh so good!

This is so cool!
ReplyDeleteI saw this museum from Heartstrings where "Shinwoo" went on a date with "Go Minam". It was a lot of fun to hang out with the cousins.
