When I say eat like a king, I mean literally.  There are numerous restaurants where diners can eat typical king's court food.  With our friend Evan in town and our friend Jinny driving/interpreting, we decided to try out the culinary life of Korean royalty.

The meal itself was 16 different plates, I think.  (I can't remember...they just kept on coming)  All of them were different and delicious in their own way.  I don't remember what all of them are, but I did caption the ones that I do remember.

It's a little bit like the sweet and sour version of Lucky Charms!

Some sort of cold salad, I think.  The yellow stuff is just dressing.

Don't be shy, tell us "hi"

I think the "sweet potato" thing was actually pumpkin, the "I don't remember" was some sort of fish, and the "scallions wrapped in...something" were rice cakes wrapped in a buckwheat crepe. I get so hungry looking at those photos...

Good call. I updated the descriptions based on your memory which is better than mine.

I kind of want to go back there to eat...

Oh my! I've been to meals like this...which I actually sort of hate in a way because there is no way to walk away from the table and not be in pain from trying to eat even a little bit of everything. Which isn't to say that I don't keep going back. Oh schadenfreude...what would I do without you?

Can't beat it for a $30 meal. Someday, I'm going to try the $120 set.

Royal and wonderful! I guess my favorites would be the pork and pumpkin somethings, but the tofu looks super also. Thanks for the pefect photos!!!

This restaurant gets an A+ for presentation! Gorgeous photos. However, in my humble opinion, there is no way that you could ever "doll up" jellyfish enough to make it palatable.
