Wild vegetable bibimbap at Boritgogae (보릿고래) or rice with seasoned vegetables at Silhuiwon (실희원) were what I had originally planned for my dinner after my day of cave exploration. Unfortunately, both restaurants do not accept solo diners, so I had to choose something else.
Lucky for me, the Baramggote café (바람꽃 카페), only 15 minutes away from the jade cave, does take solo diners. This café is known for its fragrant flower teas and signature pork cutlet coated with a tasty sauce made of apples.
I opted for spicy pork for 15,000 won and was not disappointed. The pumpkin soup that was served as an appetizer was also really delightful. Thanks to its location nestled in the hills, the café dining room has amazing views of Chungjuho Lake. Dinner and a show!
