I recently went to [SOUL] restaurant in Haebangchon with my family of four.

[Seolhwa Hongsi]

It looked like caviar on top, but it wasn't actually caviar.

Chef Kim Hee-eun explained this menu in great detail, but I don't remember it very well.

Anyway, it tasted like Hongsi sauce and japchae.

The restaurant's signature dish: Gimjeonbok

Tenderly steamed abalone, served with a sauce made from gopchang gim (seasoned seaweed) and cream cheese, plus salt blended with abalone innards.

Creamy, custard-like steamed eggs paired with mushrooms prepared in various ways.

The variety of textures was great, and it was a familiar yet delicious flavor.

Today's Mest menu:
Potato pancake + Jeungpyeon (fermented rice cake) + truffle tuile + caviar

The potato pancake had a surprisingly chewy texture.
The salty flavor of the caviar was great.
The pancake paired well with the sauce.
The Jeungpyeon was crispy on top and chewy on the inside.

Main dish: Lamb tteok-galbi + Hanwoo meal set (additional 30,000 KRW)

Lamb tteok-galbi: Topped with sliced shiitake mushrooms. It was delicious.
Hanwoo meal set: For Koreans, it tasted fairly ordinary.

Noodles

This was the second-best dish of the day.
The broth was like a gomtang with a very strong meaty aroma.
The noodles reminded me of a refined yukgaejang.

Black and White
Olive oil-flavored ice cream.
It was decently delicious.

Truffle Bingsu (Additional Menu)

This was the dessert I was curious about.
My daughter and I both thought the truffle was just the right amount.
The truffle flavor was just the right amount.
It was delicious.

Overall review:

The food was very straightforwardly delicious, with flavors that felt familiar and easy to enjoy in everyday life.
My daughters really loved the food at this restaurant.

For me, however, it felt more ordinary compared to the Michelin one-star restaurants I've visited recently.
(That said, it was by no means bad—I enjoyed the meal.)

The restaurant also had a very lively and energetic atmosphere.
