In the recent past my husband dined at this Korean restaurant for one of his work dinners. He came home talking about how good the food was and suggested that we should go back together. This was shocking since Korean food is generally my husband's last choice. However, this is not a regular Korean restaurant; this is a royal cuisine dining experience, completed by traditional performances. The name of the restaurant is Suraon, sura being the name of meals served to the king. Here is a small sample of what our 14 course meal looked like:

Of course, the presentation of all the dishes was beautiful; it is royal cuisine after all. We had water kimchi (like a soup), lotus porridge, cabbage kimchi with oranges, green salad, radish wrap stuffed with Korean miso and buckwheat rolls stuffed with kimchi (header photo - quite delicious), jabchae - noodles with vegetables (a family favorite), sashimi halibut (above), pajeon (vegetable pancake), duck, beef (above), grilled pollack, seaweed soup with shrimp and oysters, rice wrapped in lotus leaf, and finally, frozen mango for dessert.

We were seated just beside the stage, which was very exciting for the girls, and me too! There was some beautiful gayageum and ajaeng music played, and of course various types of dancing.
We even got to dress up like royalty and were given a complimentary photo to take home! This is one from my own camera:
