I checked in at Jeju Restaurant / Portland / OR

🎊 hny 🎊

A spread of fresh oysters with chili oil and mignonette and four small dishes of various banchan: kimchi, lotus root, scrambled egg with salmon roe, and potato pavé

A small bowl with alternating layers of apple and bluefin tuna nestled over puréed celeriac root

A stone bowl full of the fanciest mac ‘n’ cheese (ddukbokki with pickled snow crab, gochujang mornay sauce, and seasoned gim)

A ribeye with seared bok choy and a small bowl of purple rice topped with sliced mushrooms
