These photos were taken this evening at 사월에 보리밥, a restaurant chain in Seoul famous for traditional, family-style Korean dining.
The dinner was especially important since it was our first time as a family seeing Alice and Hyeong-Eun since they got engaged - congrats you guys ! - and one of our last times to see Jennifer, K.C. and their boys Aiden and Max before they move to Shanghai.
As for the restaurant and its food, the name literally means “April-time Barley Rice”. Barley rice is one of the big dishes here, though we usually order a variety of food. All of these dishes are tasty and relatively mild in terms of spiciness, strong odors, strong tastes, and controversy (no dog meat stew, for instance).
I suppose the “April-time” is supposed to invoke images of Spring, freshness, and enjoying life. Despite the heavy rains, the description did justice to our evening. We had a great time with our friends and hope to them again sooner rather than later.
