The Repatriated Expat: An evening on the town

Well, we finally managed to get our act together and go out on a Saturday evening. We headed on over to Itaewon, and to Le Saint-Ex for dinner. Le Saint-Ex, by the way, also has a cheese list, so for anyone wanting cheese that you can't normally find in Seoul, you can order it. The brie was looking particularly attractive. In fact, the brie with the bread would make for a lovely afternoon snack, toss in a lovely bottle of wine, and I'd be feeling pretty good. Then there was also the camembert. And the goat cheese.

Bread basket served with butter. Standard french bread. Tasty. Would go very nicely with the aforementioned brie. Especially if the brie was slightly melted. Hm, may need to order some and have a wine and cheese party.

The mixed green salad with the non-spicy salad dressing. It had some crumbled walnuts on top.

The sea bass, which was excellent. Although the portions were a bit on the small side. Then again, we only got a salad to share, no appetizers or soup. Sometimes it's a bit difficult to know in advance how large the main courses will be so we can order enough appetizer, soup or salad. Although it is extremely refreshing to be in a place where things are not always super-sized, and that you don't get mounds and mounds of food that could feed three people piled on a plate.

This is the beef with the red wine sauce. It comes with potatoes, mushrooms, and several cloves of garlic. Delicious.

This is the floating something dessert. It's a meringue on top of English cream with caramel drizzled on the top and oozing over the sides. It was apparently nice and airy and oh-so-delicious.

This is the chocolate mousse.

As you can see, it wasn't bad.

After dinner, we wandered for a bit. We saw this dog in an alley near the restaurant.

Then we headed across the street and up the road/alley near Sultan's Kebabs. These are a couple of open store fronts that sell food. They have trays of jeon (mungbean pancake) and other foods prepared. These particular places also had pig snouts right next to the plates of jeon.
