For my last night in Seoul I’d decided to stay closer to Seoul Station so it would be easy to get from and to the airport train, especially as I’d be getting in from Taipei around 9pm.

I was back in Seoul for a day before flying home to Melbourne in the evening. I spent the day exploring the area just east of Seoul Station near the Sungnyemun Gate (Namdaemun).
Mid afternoon I started the walk back towards my hotel but pulled up the map to look for somewhere for a sneaky last drink. Up popped Seoulista.

Just inside Zhongshan Market is a small beef noodle shop that I stumbled upon. Its a small shop run by an old gentlemen with seats for maybe 15 people inside and a couple more outside.

I’d made a last minute decision to change hotels after working out it’d be difficult to get around where I was originally staying.
As I was looking for my new hotel, Palais de Chine popped up. You can’t fault the location. Just across the road from Taipei Main Station, and a 7 minute walk to the airport railway station. It’s in the same building as the Q Square shopping centre. The hotel occupies the higher floors.
As a bonus, while I was searching, there was a special deal for the hotel that gave me free breakfasts!

It was time for my last meal in Taipei before flying back to Seoul and then to Melbourne.
I pulled out my trusty map and had a look around the local area and I found a quite well regarded Japanese izakaya maybe 500 metres away, so, without a reservation I decided to chance it and see if I could have a quick meal.
