Part of the reason we decided to go there was because we knew we could get temple food, which is vegetarian (as is Tasha). What we didn't know is that a sign that read "Temple Food" would lead us to a fucking gorgeous, but all together way overpriced little restaurant, run by a FORMER monk. 116 thousand Won later....
But we didn't regret it. It was a nice atmosphere. And the food was stunningly displayed. But to be honest, everything we had there, we've already had in various formations for 5,000 Won at your run-of-the-mill Korean restaurant.
Ho hum. Blurry cell phone photos ahoy.
Mags and a line of rickshaws.
Inside the restaurant.
Beautiful, overpriced food.
So good to see her again.
I don't know why I look so fucking cheeky in this photo. I think it's because Mike said, "That's the face you're going to make?" right before he took it, and I decided to make it even better.

How much is 116000 won?
You know this is always a fucked question to answer, thanks to the exchange rate, so to put it in perspective, let me say a cup of Starbucks coffee cost about 5,000 Won.
£64 for the three of you? That's not so bad!
Yeah it doesn't work like that though. I don't know how to explain this -- although it exchanges to about 60 Pounds, within the country (just like with the dollar) on living wages, 116,000 Won is more like 116,000 Pounds. I can go to a "nice" restaurant and eat for 10,000 Won.
Anyway, I think you probably would have bitched your face off about it -- temple food is all just plants they gather from the forest. I won't take you there... you'd demand another, real meal within the hour.
