At every country we fly to, there’s bound to be an eatery known as “the crew joint” where my colleagues like to dine.

In Seoul, we simply call it “the saba fish place“.

Colleagues have been eating here for many many years and I’m glad it’s my turn now!

As you can see from the photo above, we were famished after work and couldn’t wait to attack the side dishes (banchan)! Lol.
Piping hot steamed egg came soon after, yum.

The piece de resistance: one whole big saba fish, grilled to perfection.
Juicy, tender, charred-at-the-right-places, rich, oily, hooked.


Yah! Now I’m missing it!
Hi, may i know where is this place located? Thank you!
Sorry I don’t have the address! It’s very near Hilton Hotel, opposite Namdaemun market that area. Not too helpful, I know haha.
thank you for replying! I shall look out for it! would it be on the street level?
Yes it is! Hope you manage to find it! Let me know
so Andrea, were you able to locate it? any address by any chance?
nope i didn’t. after climbing up and down the steep road. hahaa.. failed. The good thing is that i met friendly koreans who helped me with some directions. You can share with me if u find it
andrea, I found it! let me know when you are going again, will give you the directions to it.
that’s so good!!! not sure when will i be able to visit seoul again, but yes please!! is it somewhere near the steep sloes that i mentioned? or is it that i was in a totally wrong place?
its near the steep slopes in hoehyeon area. but if you just take exit no. 4, its just less than a min walk straight ahead. do not have to climb up the steep roads. (:
okie! making a note on that. thanks much. I hope your entire trip was memorable
oh yes! it definitely is a good one as I’ve proposed to my girlfriend at the Seoul Tower too! (:
oh sweet! Have a great time in wedding prep and a blissful marriage~
Thank you so much for your well wishes! You sounded like you’ve been thru it. Any experience to share?
