Han Guuk Guan is hidden away in the shadow of two taller buildings, near the corner of Mackenzie and Victoria St. We came here for a birthday lunch and because the servings were large we ordered in groups. My group got haemul pajeon (seafood pancake), japchae, gamjatang (pork bone soup) and crispy chicken. I don't have time to write in detail or edit my photos at the moment, but I thought the food was quite good. Altogether we paid about $15 each, including rice. Banchan for today was taugeh,...

We ventured out for an early Father's Day dinner in an effort to avoid the weekend crowd. We don't frequently order a side dish to accompany our main meal, but mum was intrigued by the ancient grain salad and our Entertainment Book voucher was for 25% off rather than one complimentary main. Our orders for the night: - Mum - Spanner Crab Risotto, Celeries, Manjimup Winter Truffle ($38) - Dad - Jurassic Quail, Crimson Grapes & Chestnut Panzanella ($34) - A2 - Yellow Fin Tuna, White Ratatouille, Green Olive & Almonds ($36) - Me...
