Sharing of dining experience at The Place
The dishes include classic pasta, pizza, steak, salad, etc. The taste is different from our usual modified dishes. The proportion of cheese, vinegar, basil, olives, and pickles is very high. We like the authentic cooking methods very much, and they are crisp and refreshing. It is greasy. For example, a signature stewed rice is ordered for small hamburgers, and the milk sauce is not too "milk", so it is often very greasy after eating. It is rare for adults to rush to eat with small hamburgers and eat up the whole plate.
Before the meal, Wendy told us that he was going to eat "Bomb Pizza." It was hard to imagine what kind of dish it was.
The waiter pushed the small dining trolley to the side, expertly sprayed water (in fact, white wine) on a ball of black spheres, and then fired...Boom!We managed to calmly watch the whole group braving the flames, video recordings, and taking pictures. Finally, the waiter cut the cuttlefish sauce dough and laid out the pizza underneath, so the bomb pizza was officially served on the table.
The pizza tastes salty and sweet, and contains nuts, cranberries, cheese sauce, etc. The crust and outer cover are made of cuttlefish juice. There are three kinds of sauces to match: oil vinegar, milk sauce, tomato onion pickle , If the third type of dipping sauce is paired with the crust, it will have a bit of burnt aroma. If you are traveling to Seoul, we will recommend the good taste of bomb pizza.
