A-Won

Auuuuuuuuuuuugh! Only one more day! Where did the time go? Probably the same place the sunshine did. But let's think foodie thoughts:

Gilded halibut! J finally got his wish of eating live halibut. I don't know, I found it anti-climactic. It was good, but not wow-worthy (to me, at least).

A-Won does a lovely set menu $70/pp. Much better than either Odaesan did (before they closed down) or Busan (more casual). But I think I'm done with this style of menu. It's alternatingly bland and overly greasy to me. They hardly ever serve anything I've never seen before, and the game plan of the restaurant is to serve a few high quality dishes and then overwhelm you with a slew of low-quality dishes cooked with cheap ingredients.

Instead, I would suggest going to A-Won for an al bap (seaweed and fish eggs over rice) and a sashimi plate. Play to their strengths, and this is a great restaurant.
