Experiencing Korean Pizza and Basil Pesto

I was on my way of GYEONGBOKKUNG PALACE, First time.

Yeah!!

First time I'm going to see the Palace. PALACE!!! (loud scream)

But, wait! Like I'm lil weird, In excitement I've started  smelling food. I sniffed!!

Yes, Food!! I've got hungry in every situation. And there is lots, lots Cafes, Restaurants there. Waiting for me. But, I am hard core Vegetarian, so I should avoid these smells and look for something, which I can eat.

Unni knows, What kind of food I want. Yes, Unni is with me. And we've already decided that we're going to have Pizza for lunch, at Unni's favorite place.

Lunch at Junsu-bang Kitchen

Food, Pizza, Travel, Seoul, South Korea

Like we all know, The best way to explore a new place is try their food. Go local. Find out what kind of food people like there. For me, To understand their Culture and Tradition, Food is the first way. After spending almost a month in Korea I didn't had Korean Pizza.

The place giving a vibe of Korean Tradition, Structure. You can't even imagine this is not a house but a Dine place.

Isn't it looking cool. I was amazed, that, this kind of small place would run a Restaurant. 

The place itself has eye catching interior and the selection of the menu in both ENGLISH and KOREAN language. As soon as I entered, I started to clicking the pictures, staff greeted us. They can see my excitement on my face, they smiled, bow down. I did the same. They invites me to click the more picture with smile. 

They escorts us to our seats We took our seats. My eyes fascinated this Ancient looking place, Now I got to know, why Unni (Elder Sister in Korea) said, it's her favorite place for lunch.

We take the Menu and ordered Pizza and Basil Pesto Pasta. Staff came lit the candle.

But before our order comes, We got our starter soup. Sweet pumpkin Soup. I've never liked Pumpkin, and it's pumpkin soup. Gawd. I made face, Unni said, taste it, you gonna like it. First thing i hate the color , I don't like Yellow. and 2nd is IT'S PUMPKIN.

I gave a shot, it's not like am going to die or something. Took first spoon of soup. OH MY PUMPKIN!!!! It's terribly good.

THUMBS UP!!

It's not bad as it seems. And then I've started to like the color as well. The texture, Sweetness, Saltiness, everything was delicious, In bonus, they gave us Radish and Cucumber Pickle. The simple look and extravagant taste.

It was cold outside and this was perfect to warm us up. The best thing is about the Korea, what I like most is their Pickle, Variety of Pickles. Like in India. However we plays with spices and they made Pickle in simple way. But we have a common thing, FOOD FOOD FOOD.

I sang the praises of this soup. Unni laughed at me and Our ordered arrived. 

It was Tofu Pizza!! I didn't like that much, Instead of Oregano they gave us Tabasco. It was first time, when I had Pizza without Chili flakes and Oregano sprinkle. Koreans loves spicy food, how can someone eat this bland pizza.  Like I said, I am Indian, I know how to create taste. The pizza was best with Radish Pickle. Unni understands me and we decided to say bye bye this pizza. It was quite big for two of us, so we couldn't able to finish it, we need 3rd person.

Although it was not that bad but Tofu didn't match with Pizza or we can say we've opted for wrong one, which didn't go well according to our taste buds. But, if we talk about Pasta, that was the best. Best basil pesto pasta that I ever had.  But, I'M 100% sure they used fresh veggies in pasta, the crunch of fresh veggies defining that, yeah yeah!! I don't like tomatoes but I had to eat, coz Unni 😉. She puts in my plate and I couldn't able to say no. She knows that I'm vegetarian so, I need to eat a lot. She cares about me too much. hahaha.

My eyes still wandering and scanning the whole place, the ambiance, the quality of food, the staff and  the atmosphere was amazing.  The best part that i liked most about this place and the main center of attraction was Projecting film. There is projector and some kind of film was on screen. (You can see that Video on Solely Weird Instagram page.CLICK HERE:  https://www.instagram.com/p/CBnel9Qlulb/ )

I would love have lunch here everyday. and... we had our last bite of pasta, and came out to head out next destination.
