Bungalow - Dinner

The other night, to celebrate one of my co-worker's last evenings in town before she escapes and returns to the warmer world of Florida, we headed over to Bungalow, a tropical style restaurant in Itaewon.

Bungalow is an interesting place, full of little side rooms with sand floors and candles all over the place. I was a bit worried about knocking over a candle and either lighting myself on fire or lighting someone or something else on fire. You have to take your shoes off before entering the sand areas, and since it's winter and tights are the norm, it was kind of weird to walk around on sand with tights on. And, the sand isn't heated, so it was a bit chilly. Like walking on a Santa Barbara beach in winter.


Our first round of drinks: white wine, a cosmopolitan, and a margarita. The margarita was tasty, but I really have to remember to ask for it on the rocks and with no salt in the future.


They have a rather eclectic menu, with burgers and satay. We opted for the 30,000 won skewer platter, which came with three skewers with beef, chicken, sausage, onion, green pepper, and pineapple, and a side of tortillas and potato wedges. Pretty tasty. Not sure I'd eat it again -- it was a lot of food, and some of the meat was a bit on the dry side.
