This fat foodie is on a diet. A combination of a leg injury and a group of friends who drink to make sailors look sober has put me 20lbs over my ‘normal’ weight, rendering most of my wardrobe useless. I suppose I should have started a diet before summer, but, eh, I didn’t have the motivation.
Anyhow, my dietary needs led me to Greenbasket today, and I believe I will be a regular for the foreseeable future.
This place is simple, delicious, and modestly priced. It’s just salad, nothing more. Fresh, colorful, so-real-its-bitter, salad. Mmmmmm. You choose one base extra with your salad, and then choose all the extras you like. If you are reasonable, your salad should come out to be about 7,000KRW.
My salad today had perfectly cooked and seasoned chicken breast. The broccoli was so green it looked artificially colored. And the Oriental dressing looked made-in-house and tasted amazing. Unfortunately they were sold out of the balsamic, but I’ll try to update this post later if I get a chance to try it. Balsamic is an extra 700W. Also I don’t recommend the olives. I suppose I was hoping for too much for some real fresh ones.
We made reservations for 2 around 11am for 12pm. We barely made it though as they said they were full and we had to beg. That also means that none of the people walking in were able to get seats (though, oddly, there were many open tables.) I believe the bulk of their revenue is from takeout and delivery to local businesses. Be sure to call for reservations.
