 |
|
Where to get a good old fashioned truck stop breakfast at a decent price?
Eggs, sausage, bacon, beans, toast, coffee.
I queued up at Butterfinger Gangnam for 20 minutes this weekend.
Breakfast was twenty thousand with the coffee.
Seems rather dear. |

Gorcery store, make at home.
Breakfast culture in Korea is not about the greasy spoon BK. So if you want to eat that cheaper, like I said buy the stuff and cook it home.
If you must, try the better hotels, they typically have a buffet that includes part or all that you mention but it will be cheap.

| DIY is the way to go with this. Can get pretty much everything you need in HomePlus, just don't expect the sausage and bacon to be too good. |

the Wolfhound in Itaewon do the best value and best tasting (imo) fry-up in Seoul.
They do a jumbo version that comes to arounf 15k I think. I just had the regular and it was easily enough, you get 'proper' tea there too. I'd say my opinion counts fwiw, as my Dad is a builder and decorator and I used to work for him on and off so have had some of the best fry-ups in the south of England lol.
Get in mate, ave it. |

| The canteen at the USO closed a while back. If it has re-opened I'd be glad to hear it. |

| What about the All-American diner? I was there this weekend and had a country fried steak. It wasn't perfect but very close to home and they had a lot of breakfast stuff. |

| If you are looking for "greasy spoon" I think the American Diner in Itaewon is your best bet. I have eaten a number of good breakfasts there which would equate to a Denny's style breakfast. However, they are not consistent when it comes to quality... so, it's always a bit of a gamble. I'd say 75% of the time they get things "right." |
