Day 6: Haenggungjeong (Suwon Beef)

when in Suwon, a must eat is *drumrolls* Suwon beef!
we had ours at this lovely (and by lovely i meant HEAVENLY) place we stumbled upon 
(much thanks to the info booth next to Hwaseong Haenggung)
- Haenggungjeong
we were super blessed as we had our meal at lunchtime and they served set lunches
we had Suwon beef (2 servings of plain beef and 1 serving of marinated beef) and two servings of bulgogi. after a brief comparison, the set lunches cost much less than what it would if we had had our meal at some other time.

back to the meal.
this was truly a feast.
the side dishes (correction: refillable side dishes) were a lavish spread.
the set consisted of these side dishes and three bowls of doenjjangjigae (bean paste soup) plus rice
- it was an overkill (in the best way possible)
but note that the lady boss would require you to order one portion for each customer and hence the more-than-we-can-have spread
specific shoutout: i don't know what this is called but it was sooooo good
(lotus with black sesame sauce topped with pumpkin seeds and almonds and raisins)

Directions:
Talk the path forward from the info booth just located outside the Hwaseong Haenggung
the street will look something like this
 take a turn at the first turning on the right
 the turning is opposite Gongcha
directly opposite this building
 upon turning right, you should be able to see this building on your right
walk straight along this road

you will be able to see the Hwaseong Haenggung car park on your right soon
 soon you will be able to spot Haenggungjeong (self named: Suwon beef heaven!) with the colorful signboard as in the photo

 x
Enjoy!
Thoughts:

i've done some research on places to get Suwon beef and stumbled upon a few such as Bonsuwon Galbi and Kabojung. I don't know about those places but this one is really good. plus it is really near Hwaseong Haenggung, unlike the other places which needs extra travelling to get to.
TBH i would frequent here in a heartbeat if i could.
