On September 30, the 'Seoul World Fireworks Festival' will be held at Yeouido Hangang Park, and the night sky of Seoul will be brightly colored with fireworks. The first thing to do before enjoying the festival is to find a spot (spot) where you can properly enjoy the fireworks. Examples include the Han River Ichon District, Yeouido Hangang Citizens' Park, Mapo Bridge, and N Seoul Tower Observatory. Today, I'm going to introduce some restaurants nearby that are great to visit before and after the festival, so don't miss out on the fun of watching or eating.
1. Yeouido Chinese Restaurant, 'Hano'
A famous Chinese restaurant among local residents of Yeouido. The signature menu is “Hano Champon,†made by putting a whole octopus on top.

â–²Location: 32 Gukjegeumyung-ro 7-gil, Yeongdeungpo-gu â–²Business hours: 11:00-21:00 every day â–²Price: Hanno Champon 8,000 won, Gobarou (small) 9,000 won â–²Review (Shikigin Everyday Pansuni): Gobbarou really changes life.. It's really crispy on the outside, but I was surprised that it became chewy when soaked in sauce and was so soft without being hard or chewy overall!!!! I don't think the sauce contains glacial acid. It's sweet and sour, but it's nice that it's not excessive.
2. Yeouido spicy soup, “Gayang Kalguksu mushroom spicy soupâ€
A famous place for lunch for nearby office workers. The signature menu is mushroom spicy soup, which is eaten by putting mushrooms and vegetables in a cool boil. The flavors of the chewy mushrooms, the plump kishimen noodles, and the sharp soup that becomes deeper and richer as it is boiled are excellent. Finally, rice porridge made by putting eggs and rice in the leftover soup is also a delicacy. Scarce vegetables, sardines, and rice are all provided in unlimited quantities at no additional cost.
