Hi, Steemitian, how was your weekend?
It was so freezing in Korea, fell to 16 degrees Celsius below zero last weekend. so I felt like to stay in bed all day but made an excursion to Ganghwado Island.
To briefly introduce, Ganghwado Island is located along with Korea’s west coast. It takes an hour and 15 min. by car from Seoul, the capital city. Since it doesn’t take a long time to drive, It’s known to be one of the famous spots to visit for a day trip among the people in Seoul.
It was past 7 P.M, and the darkness had thickened already when I arrived there so that I couldn’t take a picture of the island.
We headed directly to the restaurant “Jin Gwang Ho.” It was the seafood restaurant we searched on our way to Ganghwado Island. According to the reviews I found on Naver search, the name “Jin Gwang Ho” refers to the name of the fishing boat. The staffs of the restaurant procure fish themselves and serve dishes directly to the customers. By the benefit of the process, their seafood was very fresh.
“Jin Gwang Ho” runs total restaurants in Ganghwado Island. As they become famous, they’ve expanded their business by opening its second location. These two restaurants are close to each other. I recommend going to the second one as it’s modern and polished. At the entrance, I noticed many signatures of celebrities who have visited here.
They have various eye-catching options on the menu as you can find on the pictures.
I ordered. Course menu 30,000 won for each which was the most popular choice for two.
As a starter, we had a salad and the seafood platter which came with Shrimp, oyster, sea squirts and sea cucumber.
Secondly, we were served with Raw fish called sashimi made with flatfish, mullet, and Yellowtail.
By the way, Yellowtails are in season these days. I think that’s why it was particularly delicious.
This course menu also includes the second main menu. Among plenty of options, I ordered roast butter abalone.!
Lastly, we ordered the fish stew. It wasn’t spicy, but you don’t like red stew, you can also choose casserole with no red pepper powder. It tastes light and clean not spicy at all.
We finished all the dishes!. It was my first and the last meal on Saturday.
On the whole, I think It is an excellent place to visit with family or as a group and enjoy a beautiful view of the sea after the meal.
It's Monday already, I Hope you all have a good week.
