 |
|
| I've been having cravings for some good lasagna lately. I tried the one in La Tavola but I was not too impressed. Any recommendations? The Gwanghwamun/Jongno area would be ideal, but anywhere is fine. |

| There is an Italian restaurant called Il Ponte in the Hilton Millenium hotel near Seoul station. They have a nice lasagna, but the restaurant is a little on the pricey side. |

Buy this book.
http://www.amazon.com/Classic-Italian-Cookbook-Marcella-Hazan/dp/0345314026
It tells you how to make pasta, and how to make the meat sauce (takes 4 to 5 hours, but the ingredients are readily availble in Korea).
And then, yeah, you'll need an oven. But eating your own, hand made, incredible pasta with a depth and richness no place outside of Italy could provide, is priceless.
The only thing you'll be missing is parmagiano reggiano cheese. Which is absolutely irreplacable but the you can get by with a good bechamel crust. |

| The best lasagna in Korea was at Di Matteo. There's one in Hyehwa and one in Apgujeong. For 11,000 won, you got a portion covered in and surrounded by so much cheese, you could eat it easily for 2 meals. About a month ago, Di Matteo started using a different kind of cheese, started using half the amount and jacked the price up to 17,000 won. I lost my favorite pasta that day refuse to pay for the new, substandard version. |

That's a bad thing about pasta in Korea for me. usually, they cover it in cheese and sauce. if all I want is cheese I'll just get some cheese. If all I want is sauce, I'll just get some sauce. Even back in the states, my Mom and I went to an Italian place and had to pick off some of the cheese. I'd rather just make my own at home. Anyways, many places in Korea are not serving "real" lasagna. It's egg noodles covered in cheese and sauce.  Even at the Intercontinental Hotel in Samsung, my fav restaurant in there serves egg noodles as their lasagna....so I don't order it any more. I like real Italian pasta...as in al dente with not so much cheese and sauce. Also, too many places here drench salads in dressing. I'd rather have dressing on the side or be able to add it myself. The best thing to do is learn how to cook. |

Also available at Costco - around 18k for two large triangles. Expensive but lasts for a long time if you freeze it and only take it out of the freezer to grate. |
