I was thinking I needed some healthy food, so I got a salad. One of the add on options was a corn grilled cheese sandwich. Um... I didn't know what that was, so I got it.

Location : 달리는커피 대전스마트시티점 (Running Coffee - Daejeon Smart City Branch)

Menu Items: 베이컨구운마늘샐러드 + 닭가슴살 추가 + 오리엔탈드레싱 추가 + 콘치즈그릴토스트 (Bacon Grilled Garlic Salad + Added Chicken Breast + added Oriental Dressing + Corn Cheese Grill Toast)

Cost : ₩6,900 (+ ₩2,000 for added chicken + ₩800 for dressing) + ₩5,000 + ₩3,000 (delivery)

Thoughts : If you know me well, you'll know I spent the first couple minutes picking out all the bad stuff... so basically all the meat, garlic, corn, almonds, and lettuce were left. I decided to try the pickled jalapeños. They were spicy, but sweet, so I put them back in. Oriental salad dressing... I'm not sure what that means... French? or what we might call oriental dressing? It was just like vinegar with maybe soy and some oil and onions or something; it was ok. The Corn Cheese Grill Toast was actually pretty good. The salty in the ham went well with the sweet crunch of the corn. The cheese was very creamy and smooth. Overall it was a great meal.

For supper I decided to try the next place on the list that my HR contact had suggested. It looked like something you might get a traditional Korean BBQ restaurant.

Location : 일등석갈비 (First Class Ribs)

Menu Items: 직접 구운 돼지숯불 세트 (1인분고기 200g + 5종반찬 + 쌈 + 공기밥1 + 된장숫1) (Homemade charcoal grilled pork set = Meat for 1 serving 200g + 5 side dishes + rolls + rice 1 + miso 1)

Cost : ₩15,000 + ₩2,000 (delivery)

Thoughts : It was good like it typically is. The strong flavor in the soup was cucumber, so needless to say I didn't each much more than the tofu. The pepper paste wasn't too spicy and the lettuce (rolls) wrapped the meat and garlic nicely. The garlic in this meal seemed to stick around longer than the lunch garlic.
