We left Grevin Museum much later than Taiwanese and Japanese teams, therefore left not have much time to shop before we go for dinner.
~ Dongdaemun (동대문) ~
Christmas holiday atmosphere at Dongdaemun.
Wanted to go to Dongdaemun Design Plaza (DDP)
because I never been there before...
But don't worry, I'll post this iconic DDP and its famous LED roses soon,
as I went there with my family after this VIP Tour.
But Jas eonni, Lucky and me just walked to Good Morning City
(굿모닝시티쇼핑몰) which we supposed to gather there later.
(굿모닝시티쇼핑몰) which we supposed to gather there later.
This store selling all sort of luggage, bags, backpacks and handbags
on the second floor at Good Morning City shopping mall.
You might want to guess how old is the seller. Friendly seller and he did speak a bit of English. He complimented that I looked young for my age, as he guessed that I was around 28 years old. So, I told him that he's handsome (꿏미남 = flower boy). He told me that he's old ahjussi, but I didn't belive him until he showed me his ID card! He's 52 and he got grandson already. Wow! Anyway he's kind and gave me huge discount.

~ nTable (n테이블 엔테이블) ~
We walked to DDP Food Story Zone to have our dinner there. That night dinner was Shabu Shabu buffet at nTable .
I just found out from their website that nTable is under 놀부(Nolboo) group.
It's a famous Korean franchise restaurant which has 520 branches of 8 brands (Bossam, Budaejjigae, Samgyeopsal, Ori, Myungga, Sundae and Hangari) in Korea.
There is Nolboo Hangari Galbi at Orchard Central Singapore. I forgot how the taste of Korean BBQ there as I'd it 5 years ago when they just opened. But, it's quite expensive so I only went there once with my family.
I'm not fans of Shabu-Shabu or Hotpot or Steamboat.
Yes, I know I'm a very picky eater. But when we went inside, I saw they also has Korean Salad Bar besides those vegetables and noddle for Shabu-Shabu.
Korean special menu: Roasting Pork (로스팅 수육).
Instead of boiled braised pork belly (bossam), they have it roasted. It's served the same way as how you eat bossam. Just wrap the thinly sliced suyok with lettuce, kimchi and leek. I ate bossam few times, but never try suyok before. I didn't have chance to taste this because the tray was empty. I think it's too popular.
DIY your own Bibimbap with the ingredients you like.
Hot dishes corner: Fried squied, French fries,
fried fish with sauce and seaweed riceball.
Salad Bar: Sweet Pumpkin Salad, Tropical Fruits Salad,
Broccoli Salad, Seasonal Vegetables Salad.
Fruits: Banana, Lyche. Desserts: Korean Traditional Crackers (센베)
Drinks: Coffee, Omija, Green Plum Tea and carbonated drinks, beer and makgeolli.
Mushroom Shabu-Shabu (버섯 샤브샤브)

Kim Eonni, Jas Eonni, Tere and me shared Mushroom shabu-shabu, and the rest have Beef Shabu-Shabu (쇠고기 샤브샤브) - Lunch: 13,900₩ Dinner: 16,900₩.

Minimalist Korean-style restaurant with spacious dining area.
BTW, they're using induction cook top so it's easier to adjust the heat.
